Dark round void

  • Solver by Solver

    Below the two merging smooth galaxies seems to be a fuzzy ‘smudge’ with a dark circular void in the middle.

    Hi Solver and welcome to the Zoo

    These two objects are not galaxies but stars from our galaxy. And they only appear to be touching. No merger here.

    The smudge below could be a small galaxy, the dark circle is an optical artifact

    Happy hunting ! 😄
