Any ideas what caused it?

With these distortions I'm thinking merger but there is no sign of another disturbed galaxy in the vicinity. Maybe a flyby ?

A flyby galaxy that warped it without colliding? Interesting. I wonder if a wide shot of the region would show a likely culprit.

Maybe the huge elliptical galaxies are provoking the changes and starforming clumpsPosted

what about black hole. people say merger but cant see it . its got to be black hole you cant see them.

oh and by cant see it . i mean the other galaxy witch is the merger

Perhaps Black Holes have a Slip-Stream?

So can any one explain this. It is a daytime shot of the! sun with anomalies in the frame.

Hi Otarpheus,
This is a merger of two galaxies.Posted

close up it shows the system turning in the back round, as it shines off rockets hall.

That's unbelievable! It's a really cool galaxy.

What do you think of the possibility of a collision with a hypothetical #dark matter galaxy! so the joke more seriously ...?

I used today a simple program on Linux that I simulated a central collision of a planetary system with 750 planets (to simulated a galaxy), with a massive body (to represent the #dark matter). And Wow!** The result was a triangular shape similar even in details with what we see here!** I'm curious how it would look a more detailed simulation made ​​with more powerful tools.
A collision of two normal galaxy seems to have other shape...Posted

Could the marked object on the left be a flyby galaxy?

Here is what I see ... and I did think about unseen black holes, and the other objects nearby at first, but will offer an explanation that is simpler, and only speculation. Start with a ring galaxy ... you can still see the deformed ring at the "base" of the triangular shape. Impact that ring with a second galaxy of any sort, pushing the impact area ring stars toward the nucleus, forming them into the base of the triangle, creating that perplexing sharp point at the lower right. We now have 2 nuclei interacting, and can see the 2 nuclei clearly. They may have captured one another due to gravity, creating a binary system, or may still be in motion. A large amount of the stars carry the momentum of the original non-ring galaxy and are rushing in the direction of the original trajectory, forming the apex of the triangle, the "pointy end". It may or may not be helped in this deformation by the many other objects in the direction of the pointy end.
