Cover Story: Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies are a peculiar subclass of active galactic nuclei. Among them, TXS 1206+549 stands out with its radio and γ-ray emission. The inner section of its plasma jet responsible for these emissions can be imaged by combining measurements in a network of widely spaced radio telescopes, using the technique of very long baseline interferometry. A series of archival images with milliarcsecond angular resolution, spanning several years, allowed us to detect apparent superluminal motion in the approaching side of the jet. This led to an estimate of the Lorentz factor characteristic of the bulk motion of the plasma, as well as the inclination of the jet with respect to the line of sight. The jet in TXS 1206+549 resembles those of radio-loud quasars. We found no compelling evidence for a closely aligned blazar-type jet.
