MS0735.6+7421 is a distant galaxy cluster with several dozens of galaxies. In the nucleus of the bright central galaxy (see image center) sits a supermassive black hole with nearly a billion solar masses. It ejects two long jets almost with light speed. These emit radio waves (red). The surrounding gas between the galaxies is extremely hot and emits X-rays (blue).
