Galaxy changes classification as jet changes direction. In PBC J2333.9-2343, the jet changed its direction drastically by an angle of up to 90 degrees, going from being in the plane of the sky, perpendicular to our line of sight, to pointing directly towards us. ras.ac.uk Submitted by Wagamaga t3_11xqp99 on March 21, 2023 at 7:02 PM in science 7 comments 37
