I have a good idea that the galaxy is on the left, but where exactly is the core?
Can you help me figure this picture out?

Yes, both galaxies are on the left, the jet is going out of the one located most to the left and smashing directly on the other galaxy, then, the remnant of the jet spreading into space and looks like smoke.

Jets like these are believed to be generated by material falling into supermassive black holes at the cores of active galaxies.
There's a better article, including the galaxy's catalog name, at...

the blue is xrays stripped off from a galaxy named ESO 137-001 as it entered a cluster of galaxies named Abell 3627
the core is in the cluster thats shown on the left.
in the blue is supposed to be forming stars.
its rare that stars form OUTSIDE a galaxy.
