Giant Ring Shape

by Greg_Liguz

The main Galaxy seems to have a giant ring shape in front of it. Is this a seperate galaxy? Is the bright orange body on the left a third galaxy? There is also another object in the lower left corner that is smaller. Another galaxy?

Ooh that's really nice. That blue ring I would guess is separate galaxy - and looks like unrelated to me. Great find!

Nice I think the ring galaxy is ARP 147

I doubt that these galaxies are adjacent, but I think the ring of blue stars is probably rather unusual.

Looking at ARP147, the left galaxy seems to be higher.. ARP147 shows a lower galaxy. I may be mistaken but I don't think this is ARP147.

What is the odd blue ring? #odd #ring
Also, is the galaxy an #active galaxy? Looks like there are jets
