    If so, it would be exceedingly rare! 😄

    As far as I know, there are no AGN jets visible in the 'visual' (a.k.a 'optical') part of the electromagnetic spectrum, at least none in images with the depth and angular resolution of the SDSS camera. Certainly none as long as this.

    So, perhaps #merger? or #overlap?
