Polar ring or jets?

• by Ghost_Sheep_SWR

  Does this edgeon galaxy have a faint polar ring or are jets possible? Doesn't look disturbed to me so probably not tidal debris, perhaps a satellite being torn apart.

  Jets are tiny features seen in a few nearby galaxies. Looks like a nice polar ring. #polar_ring
