The red galaxy seams to be stealing gas from the other one like it is somewhat denser.

Not a galaxy in sight, sorry.
These two (?) objects are foreground stars from our galaxy and this image comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. The colours and weird center are all optical artifactsPosted

Thanks for the input. Some of these objects can be hard to identify, including imaging problems.

Thanks for the input. Some of these objects can be hard to identify, including imaging problems.Yes they are, but as a rule of thumb : if the colours are this weird, there is probably something wrong, i.e. artifact;
But as Liz says : they are cool ! 😉Posted
