What's the target here

  • Devorppa by Devorppa

    Hi all,

    I have always tried to clasify the central target in the picture - here it is a small blue dot, but there is a substantial nebula or ring galaxy to the top left. Could you clarify for me that I should be clasifying the central target not the largest target in the picture.

    Thanks

    Dev

    Hi
    Always classify the central object. But in this case it can be confusing.
    The blue blob seems to be a starforming region and part of the large galaxy.
    But don't worry, if lots of people give different classifications the scientists will know that there is something special going on and it will get picked up.
