Looking back with modern instrumentation like that at Westerbork to possible progenitors of galaxies, we find at increasing redshifts active galaxies, radio galaxies, BL Lac objects and quasars. With improving instrumental sensitivity and resolving power, energetic activity is discovered in these objects: ejecta of millions of solar masses, mostly bipolar, were thrown out from the central bodies to hundreds of kiloparsecs at nearly luminal speeds. The rich variety of their structures and energetics is illustrated in a review paper by Miley (1980). Like miniatures of these phenomena, ejections of 10–100 M⊙ with speeds of 10–100 km s-1 appear in star-forming regions of our Galaxy.
