Image of Arp 289, also known as NGC 3981, from Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966).
In the original catalog it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Wind effects. Interactions with another galaxy likely caused its odd arms.

This nuclear space ferry uses a Z-pinch fusion drive to reach 295 km/s deltaV. So, trips of 50 to 73 days are possible between Earth and Jupiter, making rapid delivery of containers to SSTO landers waiting at each end.

Don't be afraid to say 'I don't know'. Not knowing is one of those things that comes with being human. Just means you have something to learn later.

The JWST Just Identified A Supernova From Only 730 Million Years After The Big Bang
The JWST Just Identified A Supernova From Only 730 Million Years After The Big Bang
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the source of a super-bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst, generated by an exploding massive star when the Universe was only 730 million years old. For the first time for such a remote event, the telescope provided a detection of the supernova’s host galaxy. Webb’s quick-turnaround observations verified data taken by telescopes around the world that had been following the gamma-ray burst since its onset, which occurred in mid-March.
