NGC 3516

NGC 3516 is an active Seyfert 1 galaxy located 127 million light-years away in the constellation Draco. At left and center, respectively, are Swift UVOT images in the optical (v, b, and u filters) and ultraviolet (uvw1, uvm2, and uvw2 filters). The image at the right shows X-ray observations (0.2-10 keV) from Swift's X-ray Telescope, which highlights high-energy emissions from the galaxy's central black hole.
