Welcome to Galaxy Zoo, raphaeljay06.
It's a galaxy, and a nebula! It's likely a type of galaxy called Irregular; such galaxies look messy, with not much apparent structure. Irregulars often have regions of with lots of star-formation, which appear, from our distance and in images like these, as blue nebulae ... just like this galaxy.
Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
