3C 353 is an elliptical radio galaxy
located in the Zwicky cluster. Structurally, it is typical of radio galaxies.
It has a dense core surrounded by two lobes on opposing sides of the nucleus.
Radio galaxies are often found together in clusters. 3C 353 is an interesting
case study because it shows some divergence from this pattern as it is
not located in such a group. (Courtesy of National Radio Astronomy Observatory's
