Radio Galaxy Zoo Talk

Left lobe appearing to fall just outside of the frame.

    It appears to me that the left lobe of this jet falls just outside of the frame of this image. This is most noticable in the radio image.

    It could be interesting to take a look at this source from a more zoomed out perspective.
