Galaxy Zoo Talk

This is a merger of galaxies---to my eyes, at least.

    To me, this clearly is a merger of two galaxies, with the larger galaxy having undergone distortions. But with the SkyServer telling you there is no spectrum associated with this object, you do not know what to think. I wish I had a CCD telescope with a spectroscope--and the technical and scientific background--to figure it all out by myself. Ah, well, there is always the next life!

    If you see disturbance like this, you can be sure that it is a merger
