    Half the image is missing. It's a pity as it is a nice looking spiral galaxy.

    Remember that a computer is looking for "less obvious" objects.

    My non-expert interpretation: I'm guessing that the computer saw the lower arm and detected enough stuff there, that it is asking, "is there something else there?"

    The software is doing it's job perfectly in this instance. There IS something there.... it's just a well formed arm that stretches a long way out from the galaxy.
