seems to have a verry bright active nucleus #AGN. Maybe a symmetric #jet due to huge central black hole ...?

I'd go for an edge on with a very bright bulge.(no jets, sorry!)
After some squinting I could go for a possible #polarringPosted

a jet is seen the same from anywhere you look at it except if you're in front of them.
but a ring is seen linear only if it is edge-on. That way I think, it is a real probability to be a jet.
But... it can be also just an optical artifact.Posted

Still not convinced it's a jet. We had these discussions in the early Zoos too and we were told that it's (almost) impossible to see jets in these images. So, my guess is a possible polar ring

I understand and I think you are right. What intrigues me is that line perfectly straight.

In the very worst case it could be a diffraction spike because the center is very bright !
I'd still go for a possible polar ring !Posted

Sorry Elisabeth, I posted this comment before I opened this discussion and saw you had the same idea.
