  I think that it's perhaps connected to the bright galaxy to its 1o'clock...

  The large scale image shows that this is a very large #double source, over 2.5 million light years across, and the optical ID is in the 1 o'clock direction but way off the screen. See the full source at http://umn.edu/~larry/RGZ/ARG0002pdw.jpg
