20 cm pseudo-color VLA image of the radio source 3C 75 in the cluster of galaxies Abell 400. Red shows regions of intense radio emission, while blue shows regions of fainter emission The image consists of two twin jet radio sources associated with the binary nucleus of the central galaxy in Abell 400. The jets bend and appear to be interacting.
