Following the discovery of the expansion of a young radio lobe associated with the bright radio source 3C 84 in the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1275 using VSOP monitoring observation with duration of 3 years, we further investigated its evolution by utilizing VLBA monitoring data taken by MOJAVE project. As the results, we confirmed the expanding motion of both the southern and northern lobes, and detected side-way expanding motions for the first time. In meantime, the total flux density of the lobes are decreasing, while total flux density associated with the nuclei is significantly increasing. This cooling of the radio lobe can be well-explained with the energy loss through the adiabatic cooling.
