Come in! Have a margarita or root beer? How about some fresh trout? :)

One of the cooler APOD pics, considering that what you're seeing is the gas jets ejected from the poles of supermassive black holes 300 million light years away... :) For a sense of scale in the pic itself, the two are 25k light years apart, at the cores of merging galaxies.
