Merging galaxies

    what struck me as odd about this picture is the three or four large, distinct disk-like objects in the galaxy on the right. There does not appear to be any central disk or bulge, but rather a chain of three to four bright objects. Furthermore, the galaxy on the right seems to be drawing of matter from the galaxy on the left, from its upper arm.
