3C 236is aFanaroff and Riley Class II(FR II)radio galaxy.It is among the largest known radio galaxies, with the radio structure having a total linear size in excess of 4.5Mpc(15 millionlight years). The galaxy features a "double-double" radio morphology consisting of the giant relic 4.5 Mpc source and an inner 2kpc compact steep spectrumradio source. A recentstarburstepisode near the nucleus may be related to the event resulting in re-ignition ofradio activity.^[3]
