ARG00000e2 - triple? bent? overedge? strange apparent host?

    From the composite, it seems the N and S NVSS objects are each separate (unrelated?) bent doublelobes/triples:

    The central NVSS and FIRST triple still seems odd; maybe a zoomed in overlay later. There seems to be a rich cluster in the image; perhaps all bent doublelobe/triples originate in AGNs in galaxies in this cluster (if cluster it is)?

    Radiosources as intergalactic windsocks? 😄
