Narrow line radio galaxy

An active elliptical host galaxy with a smooth, featureless oval light profile in pale yellow-white, lacking spiral arms. The galaxy has a compact but comparatively obscured central nucleus and broad luminous central region, with a powerful double-sided radio structure extending far beyond the optical galaxy as two large, diffuse external lobes. Overall appearance is less nucleus-dominated, with the optical body remaining smooth and elliptical while the bilateral outflows dominate the larger-scale structure. In a clean scientific clipart style with smooth soft-edged forms, minimal detail, and subtle glow.
