INFO:

This is M106 a Seyfert galaxy with a growing supermassive black hole at its centre. The black hole at M106’s heart is about 30 million times the mass of our Sun. Besides being heftier it’s also actively feeding, gobbling down material swirling around it (our own galaxy’s black hole is quiescent; that is, not eating anything at the moment). As the matter falls in, it forms a huge flat disk called an accretion disk. Heated to millions of degrees and under the sway of unimaginably strong magnetic fields, some of that material blasts away from the black hole at high speeds, going up and down relative to the plane of the disk. that material blasts away from the black hole at high speeds, going up and down relative to the plane of the disk.
