    Looks like a typical galaxy, but radio shape is quite interesting

    There is a #star nearby. The shape of the radio and the ir and optical image tells me that once the radio jets travelled outside the galaxy, they expanded in the "fluffy" shape that you see in the radio. This would be interesting to look at in the X-ray. Thanks for the optical image and your investigation! 😄

    Wow! What an amazing source. You see how the two fluffy bits are in opposite directions? It makes me start wondering about precessing jets...

    we also classify this radio source shape as Z- or S-shaped

    The inconsistency between he radio reading and the IR is interesting! I think they are still a match, but possibly the galaxy expanded in an unusual way.

    The radio and IR are showing 2 different components of a galaxy. The radio shows the accelerated particles/plasma jet from an accreting supermassive black hole while the IR shows the stellar body of the galaxy.
