Interesting shape

    I am uncertain as to how to classify this object? Looks like an owl to me and I don't notice any spiral but I don't notice a smoothness throughout its shape

    Wow, truly a fascinating picture. Looks like a whole new solar system to me!

    Hi JohnnyAtomicus and SpaceHunter123 and welcome to the Zoo

    The central object, which you are supposed to classify, is probably a big bulged spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on. The round object at the top could be another galaxy overlapping (ie in the line of sight).

    Happy hunting ! 😄
