X-ray emissions show cold regions as black and hot areas white. Contours show the radio emission from the plasma jets. Gas in front of the black holes is compressed and heated, as seen by the hotspot below them. In the inset, each dot represents an X-ray photon. Contours again show the radio emission from the black holes and the jets of plasma being ejected from them. Credit: A&A, NASA/Chandra
