    Hi cxfilterstudiosand welcome to the Zoo

    This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. More info here : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/09/21/new-images-for-galaxy-zoo-part-2-illustris/

    So, I'd classify this one as a barred disturbed galaxy.

    Hope this helps and happy hunting !

    i am not Clear as to the simulated aspect of these images could you explain this in more detail, why would we be shown simulations for classification purposes? thanks!
