One or two ?

Is the second jet (top left) linked with the big one in the middle ?

Welcome to RGZ, barmet76!
I'm a bit surprised no one has commented on this amazing set of sources yet! 😮
Here's how the field looks, in SDSS, centered on the bright IR source that is also a compact radio source and the apparent source of the lower jet/lobe:
It looks like a star, but it's actually a broadline quasar, with a spectroscopic redshift of 0.557; its name is SDSS J110001.14+231413.1
According to NED, the quasar and (lower) jet/lobe have been associated in at least one catalog (but I can't tell whether the upper one has or not). From Anna Kapinska's two GZ blog posts - The Curious Lives Of Radio Galaxies – Part One and The Curious Lives of Radio Galaxies – Part Two - this may be restarted radio galaxy/AGN. Oh, and it's #bent too.
So, the answer to your question is "yes" (I think).
Happy hunting! 😃

That's amazing! Almost takes your breath away in the FIRST image....so thanks for sharing it!
This guy JeanTate is a gift to this website! I hope you're employed around here~
Also, I noticed the Optical Spectrum, is the the type of composition you would normally see from a quasar? Going to look around and see what it looks like when you "see" one!
