Arp wrote that he saw three galaxies here with evidence of fission. Others (Zwicky) see two and the upper east object a jet or plume. NED "an arrow like plume"

What about two galaxies merging and tidal debris at the top.

That is what I thought. can you imagine having an argument with Zwicky about this? I heard he was horrible to get along with. "Spherical Bastards" he would call some of his colleagues. Meaning which ever way you look at them.
