Standard theory holds that spiral galaxies generally have arms that trail behind the spin of the galaxy, rather like a Catherine wheel firework.
Then there is NGC 4622 which doesn’t, with arms that seem to lead rather than trail the spiral rotation.
Modelling suggests it’s most likely the outcome of an impact, but still remains a matter of conjecture and interest by astronomers.
The galaxy is located in the Southern Sky, in the constellation of Centauri and is 111 million light years from us.

The Hubble telescope has captured an image of an unusual edge-on galaxy, revealing remarkable details of its warped dusty disk and showing how colliding galaxies spawn the formation of new generations of stars. The dust and spiral arms of normal spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, appear flat when viewed edge-on. This Hubble Heritage image of ESO 510-G13 shows a galaxy that, by contrast, has an unusual twisted disk structure, first seen in ground-based photographs.

A woman isn’t a doll by Julia Tsvetkova
real women have body hair – and it’s normal real women have periods – and it’s normal real women have body fat – and it’s normal real women have imperfect skin – and it’s normal real women have wrinkles and grey hair – and it’s normal real women have muscles – and it’s normal
On 20 November 2019 Russian activist, artist and feminist Julia Tsvetkova was arrested and put on house arrest two days later, charged with “production and dissemination of pornographic materials”. She was also accused of spreading “homosexual propaganda” to minors, and was later fined.
On 9 June, prosecutors confirmed that Tsvetkova was still due to stand trial, provoking real life protests and online outrage. Tsvetkova would be forced to answer for several cartoonish drawings of naked women with captions that read “Real women have body fat – and it’s normal” or “Real women have wrinkles and grey hair – and it’s normal”.
If convicted, Julia faces prison terms up to 6 years.
