Double or hourglass?

    Is this radio galaxy a double or a hourglass?

    As the two lobes are (barely!) separate in this image, I'd go for #double. However, if this were imaged at a somewhat lower resolution, it would certainly seem to be an #hourglass. And at even lower resolution - as in the NVSS image below - it will appear as a #compact.

    Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
