What about the red object

  • dib_mon by dib_mon

    Is there any relation between the red object and the galaxy?

    the red one is most probably a star in our galaxy, so no connection with the galaxy.

    If you think you can see an interaction between them you should indicate that in the Odd question or by tagging the object here with a merger tag. I don't see any evidence of interaction in this case and indeed I think the red object is a foreground star. The central object is a nice example of a nearly edge-on #disk, though.
