NGC 383 is a double radio galaxy[3] with a quasar-like appearance located in the constellation Pisces.

[5] Recent discoveries by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in 2006 reveal that NGC 383 is being bisected by high energy relativistic jets traveling at relatively high fractions of the speed of light.

The relativistic electrons in the jets are detected as synchrotron radiation in the x-ray and radio wavelengths.

The focus of this intense energy is the galactic center of NGC 383.

The relativistic electron jets detected as synchrotron radiation extend for several thousand parsecs and then appear to dissipate at the ends in the form of streamers or filaments.
