This is not an observation of axes visible from Earth (since that is obviously biased): The team could not see the rotation axes or the jets of the quasars directly. Instead they measured the polarisation of the light from each quasar and, for 19 of them, found a significantly polarised signal. Even if it had been the case that they were directly observing axes visible from Earth, those wouldn't appear to be parallel unless they were also proximate in the sky. |
