M89 is an unusual elliptical galaxy in Virgo with a series of tidal shells and plumes. It is located 50 million light years from here and is known to host a super massive black hole. M89 was one of the first elliptical galaxies where a series of outer shells were identified. There is a linear feature first reported in 1979 to be a jet from the galaxy core but it is actually a tidal stream structure.
