Galaxy Zoo Talk

Looks like two very different objects

    Galaxy on left is very blue, right is very red. If these are both in the same general vicinity, how is one a very young, active galaxy and the other a very old elliptical?

    Hi tlewis and welcome to the Zoo

    The cenrtal object (which you are supposed to classify) is a galaxy. The blue one to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
