Galactic Warp

Galactic Warp is a structural deviation in the outer regions of a galaxy's disk, characterized by a systematic vertical displacement of stellar or gaseous components from the nominal galactic plane, distinguishing it from localized perturbations by its large-scale, asymmetric morphology aligned with galactic rotation.
