Duplication or lensing?

  • Roger_Hague by Roger_Hague

    The galaxy being viewed in the centre of the picture appears to be duplicated by another towards the top left and to a certain extent by three smaller galaxies between the two. Is this an example of lensing?

    Hi Roger Hague and welcome to the Zoo

    All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. And so are the two blue ones. Sorry, no lensing here !

    Happy hunting !
