    Beautiful! This is a #bent source, formally called a "Wide Angle Tail" ( #wat ). The tails are bent back by pressure gradients or motions in the external medium into which the jets are running. A sure sign of a dense environment, possibly a cluster of galaxies. One of my key research projects is to find these and map out the dense regions in the universe.
