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.
