Jets powered by the gravitational energy of a super massive black hole in the core of the elliptical galaxy Hercules A are seen in this composite image from the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 and the recently upgraded Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in New Mexico. Hercules A is some two billion light-years away and is roughly 1,000 times more massive than the Milky Way; the black hole at its center is 2.5 billion times the mass of our Sun.
