Galaxy Zoo Talk

Is this not a clear example of a clumpy, centered clump?

    To me this is a symmetrical, clumpy spiral, with brightest clump in the center of the galaxy (dominant bulge?). Before, I would have classified this as a tight spiral, dominant bulge, with star forming areas. Your opinions are welcome. Thanks!

    I wouldn't call this one clumpy.

    The question is: Does the galaxy have a mostly clumpy appearance?

    And here I would say no. There are some (starforming)clumps, but the galaxy is not made up of clumps.

    Hope this makes sense ! 😄
