    What is this? Merged galaxy with star forming regions?

    Hi and welcome @kmae247 😃

    You are correct - it is a young galaxy with a lot of starformation - hence the distinctive blue colour. I do not see any signs of merging, but that is still a excellent question, as it is common for us to see star formation triggered by interacting / merging galaxies 😃

    Have fun galaxy hunting 😃
