It is well-studied across all wavebands, including Very High Energy (VHE; E>100GeV gamma-rays, and with radio observations over the last 20 years tracking an unusual radio component, \"C3\". NGC 1275 was observed in an exceptional VHE flaring state between 2016 December 31 and 2017 January 3. The flare peak reached ~1.5 Crab units as measured by the MAGIC observatory.
