Could this be a jet hitting directly at us?

Wow, that is an awesome spiral galaxy! Yes, you are seeing the core emission face on. Not sure if it's a jet but the galaxy orientation is definitely face-on. This should definitely go into the #spiral collection. 😃
Typically, radio jets that are seen face-on are known as blazars or BL-Lacs.
