The sideways spiral in the bottom half of the frame is the double radio source. Known as gJ031552.1-190644 LO95 0313-192, this otherwise unassuming galaxy is a pattern breaker and astronomers wanted to make sure it was a spiral, so Hubble had to look at it. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, it's also got a very subtle, box-shaped X nucleus. The more I look for those, the more I find. I mean, they are more common than I thought. The [LOY2001 J031549.8-190623 spiral in the top half] is showing us its pretty angle, but there is apparently nothing interesting discovered about it.

North is NOT up. It is 26.3° counter-clockwise from up.
