It would have been nice to see a small version of the map in the article

Here you go: https://lofar-surveys.org/public_hips/LoTSS_DR2_high_hips/ Note that the map is in radio (150MHz) but you can toggle to other ‘maps’ with different wavelengths. At 150MHz, most emission is synchrotron emission originating either from supernovas and as such is a proxy for star(forming) regions of a galaxy, or originates from (plumes of accelerated particles from) the region around a galaxy’s super massive black hole.
