Orbit or Merger?

  • Banddragonz by Banddragonz

    Could this be a system of 3 galaxies orbiting around each other? Or could they be merging?

    Hi Banddragonz and welcome to the Zoo

    The two small and round objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy. So there is probably no merger going on.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
