Overlapping Celestial Bodies

Would someone agree that the image reveals a smaller star/galaxy overlapping or merging with the larger disk-shaped galaxy that's positioned at the center of the image? This is the first occurrence in which I've seen this happen.

Hi Spaceman_Sam and welcome to the Zoo
See my comment to the left : the small round object at the bottom of the central object is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot in any way be merging with the central galaxy !
Happy hunting !
