  Anyone have an explanation of this image?
  A galaxy and two other objects.

  If the two objects on the right are lensed quasars it suggests the existence of dark matter, will that influence the shape of the galaxy on the left?

  The other objects are all foreground stars from our own galaxy - no lensed quasars 😃

  Happy hunting!
