Around roughly one-tenth of all the active galaxies produce some truly jaw-dropping jet gases, and NASA has just spotted a new one that looks like a Star Wars Tie Fighter Jet!

Roughly 35 light-years across in either direction(as seen in the photo provided by NASA), this 500 million light years away in the new Cassiopeia constellation.
To be exact this is the GALAXY TXS 0128+554 and what is catching so many people by surprise is the looks of it!

Although scientists were studying this galaxy for around 5 years, it wasn't until the usage of their new Gamma Ray that it signaled back that there was a source of gamma rays, which if you're not sure is the highest-energy form of light!
It is always great for these type of discoveries, but when they're shaped like Star Wars fighter planes we tend to like them a little better!
