Appearing tohave similar color and size, so I'm guessing #merger with #tidaltale

I'm thinking merger too.
But don't rely on the similar color to think it's a merger. Distortions are a much surer sign !Posted

That's a good pointer.
I also wonder to what degree there may be illusions present - like the phantom "canals on mars" that appeared to connected two objects

Oh, there will be lots of bad pics with lots of optical artefacts.
For merger, just look if there are obvious distortions.
And don't worry, lots of people will see the same image, so if ther are a lot of different classifications, it will surely be flagged as special and the scientists will take a closer look !
Happy hunting !Posted
