Active galaxy with jets

An active galaxy with a brilliant compact central nucleus that outshines the surrounding host galaxy, shown as a faint spiral, oval, disk, or elliptical body. From the intensely luminous white or blue-white core, narrow symmetric bipolar jets emerge in opposite directions. The host galaxy should remain visible as a soft diffuse structure around the over-luminous center, with the jets appearing energetic but relatively slender. Use a clean scientific clipart style with soft glow effects, minimal detail, and a consistent pale blue-white/yellow-white palette.
