Abstract

We review the X-ray and millimeter observations of the W50 lobes associated with the twin-jet source SS 433. This study is aimed at shedding light on the energetics from SS 433, understanding the asymmetries of the lobes, and testing for cosmic ray acceleration in a Galactic twin-jet source.
