Bright objects associated with merging spirals

    What are the bright blue objects that appear in this picture of two (apparently) merging spirals? Are they part of the system? Or are they stars in front or perhaps behind these two galaxies?

    The bright blue blobs are in fact star forming regions in these galaxies.
