The quasar 3C147 was observed in October 1982 with a ten-station VLBI interferometer in an effort to search for possible superluminal motion (Simon et al. 1983) in the core. Previous observations, in 1976, had revealed that the core consisted of two compact components embedded in a larger halo. The new high quality map reveals that this double structure has disappeared and it is not possible to interpret the structural changes unambiguously in terms of an expansion or contraction.
