Artifact or some weird light bending?

    I have noticed this object which looks like a 90° corner. What's interesting here that this thing is consistent with DSS2, 2MASS and WISE images. What can cause this thing to happen? SIMBAD won't give me any information on that object.

    Never thought a galaxy can be shaped like that. It's weird that there's almost no info about that object. Too bad there's no higher resolution image for this galaxy.
