Arp 220 galaxy. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the Arp 220 galaxy,showing the bright core of the galaxy (lower left) with an overlaid computer illustration of jets emanating from it,indicating that the central black hole's activity is intensifying. As the active black hole continues to rev up,the rate of star formation will,in turn,be suppressed in the galaxy. Arp 220 lies around 250 million light years from Earth,in the constellation Serpens | |
