3C 20 is a radio galaxy [6] located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It features a prominent double hotspot in its eastern lobe. An unusually low fraction of the flux lies within the radio core, which is suggested to be caused by a combination of factors, including jet orientation, synchrotron self-absorption and aging, as well as interactions with surrounding gas and dust.[7]
