Would this be a galaxy merger?

by brianhicks

One looks disturbed and yet the other could well be behind or in front of the larger galaxy.

With this kind of distortion it is safe to say there is some merging going on

A merger or just behind.

That's lovely. Without redshifts it's hard to tell if it's a merger or an overlap. I'd be included to guess the latter, but not sure.

To help the #overlap group we can tag it as such, also tag as #merger
