Here's two more images I like to juxtapose, both of these galaxies have AGNs like the ones above, and the second one, NGC 4380, is also a BL Lac object, a type of AGN that has abrupt variations in luminosity similar to optically violent variable or OVV quasars (though milder). The first image is NGC 5033. - Aesthetically, I just love it when galaxies look like giant maelströms!
