Galaxy Zoo Talk

Unsure about what this is.

    Hi everyone, I've just come across this start and I was wondering what people thought it was. I can't immediately see the cause of the green that seem to be creeping into the centre.

    Hi Sqiggg and welcome to the Zoo

    In the centre of this image are two galaxies. The central one is disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on and the other one is small round one. But without additional information there is no way to tell if they are really close together or whether it is just a line of sight.

    Hope this helps and happy hunting !
