A Chandra X-ray image of the system, including contours from HST in green. Scientists have found that the object has a long jet of clumpy material that is bright across the spectrum, from radio to X-ray wavelengths. Labels identify individual clumps, and the scale marks a distance of 250 AU, about seven times the size of our solar system out to Pluto.
