Is it a merger?

• by Nickyrobo

  I tagged it as a possible merger but the colours are different suggesting one (right) is much further away - yet a chunk seems to be breaking off the right hand 'blob'. I am a novice at this so I really don't have a clu.

  I don't know if it's a merger, but the different tone of color makes me think it's not anywhere near the galaxy at the center.

  I not sure if it a merger but it is possible. These FHB galaxies are neat to study since they are super distance from our own galaxy.

  Not a future merger but a past merger: there are two blobs at the center. Ignore the reddish galaxy, it's very far away.
