Active galactic nucleus with jets

A stylized active galactic nucleus shown as a brilliant compact central core with a small glowing flattened accretion disk or tight luminous disk around it. Narrow opposing bipolar jets extend symmetrically from the poles above and below the center. The nucleus is intensely luminous in white, blue, violet, or white-yellow tones, with energetic surrounding glow that may include blue-purple haze or an orange accretion disk, creating a high-contrast scientific icon. Use clean vector-style shapes, smooth soft glow, minimal background detail, and consistent medium line weight.
