  I found this image quite interesting.

  Multiple galaxies or am I imagining it??

  Hi JakePerthWA and welcome to the Zoo

  The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a fuzzy spiral. There are indeed a number of other galaxies in this image. Probably not connected with the central one. The bright white dot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.

  Happy hunting ! 😄
