What is going on?

    What do you guys think is going on here? Looks like we got a couple merging galaxies and another object that I can't quite decide what it is. What do you guys think?

    Hi RenDawg and welcome to the Zoo

    The two galaxies could be merging, but with these fuzzy images it is not easy to tell. There is not much distortion visible.

    As for the small round object, that is a foreground star from our galaxy.

    Happy hunting !
