Any idea what is happening here?

To my uneducated eyes, it appears to be a merger... What do you think?

Hmmm... to me, also uneducated... appears to be a nebula in the foreground with a galaxy forther out.

I thought it could be a nebula but it appears to have a luminous bulge in the centre. I could be dead wrong though....

It is certainly a #disturbed galaxy!

Possibly the left one is behind the right one and much further away

Or possible some interaction. The central galaxy is very distorted.

Distortion by merging ?

There certainly looks to be interaction between the two, and the blue colour in the arms indicates dense star formation. A likely #merger
