ic 1182, Markarian 298, and the jet in Abell 2151 - the Hercules Galaxy Cluster

click the image for an annotated 100% view

near the center of the image is a 17th magnitude blue jet with several knots coming out of the odd elliptical galaxy ic 1182, also called Markarian 298.
There is also a faint S shaped plume reaching upward from the right center. Not obvious in this image is a second nuclei directly opposite the jet. It
is thought that this is actually two galxies colliding, the second almost completely consumed by the larger.
