Well since there is no possible way that anyone besides maybe a astronomer would possibly know this:It was discovered March 24, 1993 though it has been theorized to be seen by a pass around Jupiter on July 7, 1992

An Active Galactic Nucleus is a region near the center of a galaxy that's luminosity is much higher than the normal spectrum of light, it cannot be detected by itself, you need different occurinces for this to be seen such as Nuclear infra-red emission, it's kinda hard to explain in a sentence. Also there are two types of AGN Galaxies, quiet and loud.Yeah...

They are jets of plasma that can span several lightyears in length and come from Radio Galaxies mostly, they also have something to do with Blazars and AGNs (active galactic nucleus)!

Bipolar outflow is a stream of matter in opposing directions from a central object (a star, usually). It is the period where a star is having significant mass loss.
