Sometimes the detector just isn't quite big enough. Two spirals; one fell off the edge. The telescope seems to have been preferentially pointed towards the more irregularly shaped spiral. Did the southern galaxy pass by the northern one recently and pull on its arms to get it this way, or was there something we can no longer see?
The southern galaxy looks so regular that I would doubt it interacted with anything recently if I saw it by itself.
Maybe there wasn't any interaction. Maybe that's just how they're both shaped.
