I think they ment RADIO-active. It is a high energy radio source. Very noisy.
There is a lot going on in there hidden by that gas cloud.
Makes sense. Thanks.
“I think they ment RADIO-active. It is a high energy radio source. Very noisy.”
It’s not only active in radio, but in high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma rays. Often active galaxies exhibit two large jets of material originating from the central black hole.

That’s for certain! Every so often an entire star system gets sucked in to the black hole...
