Description

M106 looks wild, and the bright center with its black hole is known for jet activity.

However, looking at my images and also the leading Hubble and Kitt's peak images, for me it looks like there is also a fan-like jet structure going through the large cutout of clouds left from the bright center - there are faint streak-like structures, and in the professional images I can image some circular structures lower right from the cloud cutout.
