Red background.

    I'm new to galaxy zoo and this is my first forum post ever. I found this red background strange and being as curious as I am I would like to know what is causing this red background.

    Hi @Sharkteeth01, welcome to Galaxy Zoo! Hope to see you around!

    I'm not one of the scientists or experienced volunteers, but typically these sorts of strange color things are filtering problems caused when the photo includes stars from our galaxy (the green dots). If so, you'd classify as an #artifact.

    Thanks for asking!
