This is very cool, but I'm having difficulty understanding what the text string you've posted is. It looks like it ought to be a table of some kind, with five rows (a header and four sets of data). But what are the (identical) links/URLs where "Cat" would be?
And how did you work out that this object is a BL Lac? (I know it's not BL Lac itself, because the coordinates don't match).

Hi, you are right concerning the table, I have now corrected the setup. You can enter the ID/Name in Cat and find star informations. RA & Dec are the coordinates.
Regarding BL Lac, use the coordinates on the following link: http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fcoo

Thanks!
It's a radio source (several surveys), the host is a BL Lac object (a kind of AGN), with a spectroscopic redshift of 0.145 (reference). A particle accelerator, vastly more energetic than the LHC at CERN, is shooting a beam of (mostly) electrons straight at us 😮 Fortunately, the vastly-more-powerful-than-LHC is a very long way away, and the electrons are getting stopped a few hundred kpc, possibly even an Mpc or two, from where they started. So all we see is some rather dramatic 'twinkling'. 😄 (Amazing what you learn over at Radio Galaxy Zoo).
