DescriptionA truly "peculiar" galaxy, though not included by Arp in the catalog. The dominant left arm is clearly the result of an old disturbance, as is the structure at the bottom of the disk that appears to be a partially absorbed merger. Of course, Arp would think it an incomplete ejection. Equally enigmatic is the crucific-like structure towards the top of the disk. A jet of some kind? Very odd.
