I'm new to 'The Galaxy Zoo' and watching pictures from Belgium, Europe.
This is the strangest picture so far. Hopefully someone can explain what it is.Posted

i think it's an edge-on galaxy that is half-out of the picture, its end seems to overlap with the galaxy of interest. The edge-on galaxy is looks like it is closer to us, I don't think they are interacting.

if you look at the skyserver link, you can click on the image to zoom out and see the nearby edge-on galaxy. http://cas.sdss.org/dr7/en/tools/quicklook/quickobj.asp?id=588017949360259201
