Wow, there is so much floof in the lower left part of the picture, and there are so many background galaxies there!
The tidal tail kings of the nearby cosmos are, of course, the Antennae Galaxies!
We can see that the tidal tails of NGC 2403, if that is what they are, can't be compared with the tidal tails of the Antennae Galaxies in any way. The Antennae tidal tails are elegantly arc-shaped, quite bright and very long, but the possible tidal tails of NGC 2403 are faint, gray, relatively short and somewhat haphazardly curved.
But it is sure interesting that the gray floofy clouds of whatever they are near NGC 2403 crowd together in the lower left part of the APOD, where we also find a lot of background galaxies!
