Lens?

    Can anyone else see the blue cloud below this galaxy, and a much fainter blue cloud above it in the opposite direction? Could this be a #lens?

    Sorry, I don't see the blue clouds you are referring to. And lensed galaxies do not look like clouds. 😄

    I think I can see the blue cloud you are referring too - but way too diffused to be lensing.
    A more likely cause is star formation.

    My answer still stands - not a lens 😃 #no_lens
