Large 1 spiral ?

by turelli

it looks like one large single spiral converging to the star in the center. The more orange star seems to be in the foreground

The bright object in the center is the core of the galaxy.The orange star is just a foreground star. No way there is any connection between the star and the galaxy. But what a beautiful image !

There seems to be a small galaxy in the center of it. Also, it has a horseshoe shaped halo.

Could the ring be a galaxy torn apart by the central galaxy? Or is it a one-armed spiral galaxy?
