More APOD fun… it MOVES!

Not really. But the overlay with the radio and x-ray is pretty sweet. The Bad Astronomer already has your science covered for this one.

I also love the VLBA images of the central parts of the jet, the very nucleus of activity:

Note: The scale of the VLBA image is milliarcseconds. The scale of the Hubble/VLA/Chandra image is probably on the scale of arcminutes (1 arcminute = 60,000 milliarcseconds).
