Markarian 335, also known as the Moving Nebula,[4] is a Seyfert galaxy containing a supermassive black hole, located 324 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus.

The central black hole in this active galaxy nucleus is notable for its

accretion disc. An X-ray flare in 2013 is interpreted as an aborted jet.[5]
