    Is the hazy bar of light perpendicular to the center of the galaxy something or just an artifact of the camera lens

    Simulated galaxy from Illustris http://www.illustris-project.org/ the site has information about the project

    this is a sim (a camera and real data would be extremely helpful) most, if not all, opinions are pure subjective speculation.

    Hmm... diagonal streak possibly a result of a collision, resulting in a polar ring.So a ring of debris orbiting the galaxy.
