| Description | It's unclear to me whether Arp 150 and NGC 7609 are synonymous or whether the former refers to the entire cluster. "Galaxies with jets" isn't terribly helpful, though I imagine it refers to the direct connection between galactic centers at either end of the "jet". These bright sots are also connected by the curved arc. The image suggests that NGC 7609 is in fact two galaxies, a larger one (left) absorbing the smaller one. |
