2 or more galaxies merging?

    This picture is kinda strange, seems like there's another bulb coming out of the galaxy. And another couple next to them.

    Welcome to Galaxy Zoo, cpereir89!

    It's hard to say for sure, just looking at the image, but those three objects look no different from how stars look, in the part of the sky near this galaxy (most, if not all, the round blobs are stars):

    enter image description here

    If so, then this is a chance alignment, of stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, with a distant galaxy (which, as it happens, has a small, bright bulge/bright nucleus).

    Happy hunting! 😃
