Note the channel of material connecting the four objects and try to tell me how that could be just a near/far line-up coincidence.

That appears to be a false color photo of a galaxy and its associated dust cloud.
It is really difficult to tell with this false color photograph which is apparently a layered Multi-photo of dust clouds associated with the galaxy as well the galaxy itself. A number of photographs at different wavelengths would be far easier answer.
By the way, many galaxies have tails. They shoot matter out of their center at high speeds. All of the tails are nearly transparent because there is really very little matter being shot out of the galaxy.
There are also other possibilities for this photo.
1. There is an unassociated dust cloud that is between us and the galaxy and it is lit by light coming to us from the galaxy.
2. Radio wavelengths have been incorporated in the picture in the form of dust.
3. There is a dustcloud associated to the galaxy and it is being excited to a maser state. (Sort of like a laser).
Do you know what galaxy that is or it’s position? I can find out more about it if you can provide the information.
