Good views of Ngc 2997 seem to be hard to come by. Any images seem blurred and blotchy with highbright clumps crowding dark areas. Brute enhancements can fill in the dark areas with interesting physics, making the blotchies even more garrish.
However, this (Ngc 2297) is a prime example of a galaxy that writhes through 3 dimensional space, it is everything but flat. A blue color view next shows the extent of the wrangling arms (but not the extent of the galaxy) the right flanker in particular vortexing like a writhing worm in space coming forward then hoving a long distance back, at the far end jogging foward to almost but not quite overhang the core.
The other arm is a streamer initiating from behind the core, the streamer winds around from the left, broadening fast, and comes swinging around straight toward us then continues wrapping on around to the right.

| THE WRITHING SHELL SHOCKED VORTEX OF NGC 2997 |
|---|
You have to see the image in 3d to appreciate the extent of the vortexing, of which only a small percentage of the true 3D is apparent in these next two views.
The readily apparent vortexing makes this an ideal candidate for exploring vortexing and writhing galaxies in general. Having seen how this galaxy is operating, similar can be seen in other galaxies, for instance Ngc M74, illustrated with details here.
More M74 images are also in the Tympan-1.htm page.
M74 - a Dss image that won't brighten any further, what bright there is shows a giant outer mantle called its superform in the form of very dim sweeps in deep outer space surrounding the bright inner galaxy.
COMPARES WITH NGC 2997 - both are mangled
A main difference is the M74 arms (two) stream out from either side of the core then both wind around south to the right and fade into spurious thins. One arm continues only a short distance before ending, its cohesion gone.
SHELL SHOCKED BY IMPACTS
In the next view (Ngc 2997) the area in highlighted window in a Dss image, shows where the arm was clipped by a fast traveller pranging the arm at right angle causing a rattle which is now residual only, with a major snub against the sidewall of the core deck, both a perfect track record of collision, although the track record does not record the magnetude.
It seems the missle may have been incoming, sharply bending the arm then plowing into the sidewall creating the snub, and finally exploding out the opposite side where short vertical disarrays appear outward in spiky arms from behind the main body.
Parallax tracks converging to the center show where a large intruder has sailed in, and clipped an arm in abrupt truncation beyond on the opposite outer flank (above left of midline) creating a large exaggerated scoop facing to the left.
The interpretation is subjective. The scoop may have been caused by the intruder slingshotting out behind the core on an opposite curve from an entry point, or the scoop was by some other cause. A small star smash (in the next views) can be seen just below the core deck where the incoming intruder plowing behind the core deck entered here at the small star smash.

SLIPSTEAM ROTATIONS |
|---|
There may be some slipstreaming in two arm rotations in this galaxy. If the right arm is rotated to the left it brings the outkink straight into position beyond a snub, and the rattle moves on around to sit beyond and second snub seen vertically on the upper left side. It means the scoop and outkink were caused by the departing intruder, and the rattle caused by a fast travelling incoming missle. Down below, in the rotating, the star smash rotates to the right bringing in directly in straight line with the outer incoming parallax intruder tracks.
It means the upper right arm in toto, is rotating clockwise, relative to the other arm. Put another way, the right arm is rotating clockwise, the left arm counterclockwise (in relative motion).
Both arms are winding clockwise around the core in the same direction, the upper right arm at faster velocity, the accelarated winding itself (at the core) causing the tilted (cammed) core to bulge out in an s-shape
Remnants of a larger galaxy are seen in two places, beyond the scoop facing left above is low glow dim matter in diffuse disarray, and opposite in the lower right thongs jutting out from dim recesses behind the main deck. The symmetry is quite exact, a vertically straight line marks the upper boundry facing left, between one and the other galaxy, and in the opposite corner a vertical straight lines marks the lower boundry between one and the other galaxy, facing right. In both cases the 'other'galaxy is of dim diffuses not cohesively packed in forms of bright matter.
In fact, Ngc 2997 has all the signatures of being a yo-yo galaxy well settled down. Two more or less parallel crescent arms on either side of a strong central core comprise the yo-yo. Seen more on edge, the yo-yo look could probably be quite striking.
Rotate the above overhanging arm to the left to fit together jigsaw pieces uniting events and resulting artifacts.
| ARM STUMPS - ABRUPTLY CLEAVED ARMS - CAN RESULT ONLY BY COLLISION |
|---|
Physics exam 101, figure out the orientation of the following closeup images compared to the larger color image above. The orientation next is as arrived in the original from VLT sources at ESO.
An arm stump, cleaved by a passing matter of one charge state neatly slicing away matter of opposite charge state leaving a stump as stark as the thick trunk of an octopus who has lost an arm, the stump cauterized by the opposite charges rubbing against each other.
Opposite charge cleavages such as this arm stump, seem to leave no traces of the part of the arm cleaved away.
When matter of identical charge rubs past each other, smooths result. Smooths are illustrated in several different ways in the canopy page. Smooths smear as matter scatters at the same time is dragged along by gravity.
Arms stumps are proof of collision even if confusion in interpreting a galaxy is making the rounds of desks in astronomy departments.
Colliding galaxies Ngc 3314 has a pronounced arm stump, most noticable, it is in the resting big galaxy into which is settling a spiral which has stumped one of the resting galaxies thick inner arms.
This stump is irregular, jagged end pieces sticking out, indicating charge irregularities in the cleaving body. A smoothed canopy is seen behind and above, to the rear.
A link to the 3314.htm page lands at the above images. Warning, this is the largest page in the site and may take time to load depending on your computer and internet connector, skip if your machine is sluggish.
Answer to physics exam 101. The image is flipped, and rotated left by 90 degrees, to bring the rattle into overhang position.
DOBBLER
A small stump in Ngc 5236 even has a small trickle of matter flowing out from a charge channel running like a string or nerve of intense stupendous amperage inside the arm. Who could know how to calculate the ohms. This 'dobbler' (trickle of currenting matter) is investigated here
This raggy old thing shows the dobbler sticking out, quite clearly, directly below the rattlesnake's tail, which is a short lengthed rattle.
I am going to back off a strict interpretation of this as a dobbler, it may be merely a small fong funnelling into the guts of the middle of the platten.
The fact that the lower right outreach extends far forward into nearspace is no illusion, the galaxy is aligned on a horizontal axis running backwards to the west where it bunches up, the upthrusting forward clown's shoe is an opposite pole of the galaxy.
The diffuse matter slopping down around the west side of the core bore, and shoveling forward in curved wands, is positive matter from one of the two merging galaxies, the merger is still chaotic.
The chaotic state of Ngc 5236 is given a good look in these links. There is redundancy in the links, otherwise, take your pick. You can find a better list because there will be descriptions, using the Goggle site search (also at the end of this page).

In this M74 view mightily enhanced from a Dss image, a profound snub is self evident plastered into the right main arm. This snub is also called a platten because it has center parts, including a dobbler dribbling out. The dobbler is positively charged (dull, no brightness).
Like Ngc 2997, a deranged arm with a severe kink in it overhangs the galaxy, in this case a thin bright arm overhanging the core deck. Actually it is not an arm, the overhang is a leading edge of a large smooth. From this we know without doubt that the current appearance of M74 is after major morphing by either a collision or by merging.
The whole of the thick right arm has been smoothed by something in motion sliding in an arc around its arm depth, which is why the arm is now so thick, it has been morphed in a major way. It seems negative charge has been removed, except some concentrated in small hot clumps lining forward leading edges of broad leaves of the smooths, undoubtedly the clumps hot enough for new star births.
It is also evident that the plates are by tectonic slipstreaming, one plate sliding up over another at different velocities. Tectonic plate slipping has been noted and described in the Whirlpool galaxy.
The original image does not enhance very well. The best I can show you of its superform size is next.

EXTREMELY REVEALING DSS IMAGE OF NGC 2997

|---|
A RATTLE ON A LONG THIN ARM
Material on the left containing the tympanis and spiky arms are shared with material of the same charge on the other (east) side of the galaxy where is seen major cleavage, and a rattle out on an upright long thin arm.
Major impact products like this have elsewhere been called snubs
The tympanis plugs into the other galaxy whose charge state is opposite, and whose remains are now seen as the center strip which runs thickly across the view on an almost pure horizontal plane qo-incidental to the orientation of the image.
The materials of both galaxies are easy to see because matter of one (mostly in the outer wraps flanking) is dimmer. I am suggesting that the dimmer matter is positively charged. Thrusting at an angle across the central range brighter matter some in long winding 'vortexing' arms are negatively charged. The long arms are peppered with small flaring jets along their lengths.
Vortex means writhing enormous distances out, around, and back, in free space.

In a Vlt view, a thick blunted arm stump, cleaved clean away by collision. Assume the stronger charge quanty also had the greater velocity, bearing the cleaved matter from the arm away, leaving a tree trunk stump, very precisely cut.
I have noticed an impression in preparing images for the 'New Proton Page' and its unified field theory library, that dimmer matter is in more diffuse swelling concentrations, negative matter seems to be brighter, in smaller more precisely engineered concentrations.
For instance you hear of electrons (negative) clumping in balls of 100,000 electrons or more and in charge dynamics acting as if one one for the total, whereas you do not hear of protons clumping into a ball of thousands of protons. In other words, positive static tends to stay diffuse. Look for models in lightning, how a positive bolt in the clouds behaves, vrs how a negative bolt behaves, expecially in the manner in which it discharged into the ground at a positive 'feeler'. What is the polarity of the counter bolt that spikes high into the outer atmosphere above a bolt in the opposite direction to the bolt's ground strike.
TYMPANI IN WINDOW
A little tympani nested in a valley between high arm walls is similar in kind and size to a tympani also hunkered in a valley between high arm walls in M51.
A number of color views all look interesting, so I have left them in.
Little tympani compared with little tympani in M51. The M51 barnacle in brown is a polyp, a piece of intruder which has become stuck to the arm and attached is now travelling along with it. The little tympani in M51 is shown in blue.
