Blue ring

This galaxy looks very unusual with a very noticible blue ring around it - albeit uneven. Could this be new stars forming around the edge?

Hi salhol and welcome to the Zoo
This looks like a very lovely disturbed spiral to me. Everything blue is/are star forming areas in the galaxy.

Anyway, just classify it as you would any image !
Why unfortunately ? Your classifications of these sims are extremely valuable !
So, keep up the good work ! 😄Posted

I always find it slightly disheartening to find out that a visually beautiful galaxy isn't find in the wild but is generated by a computer program. I'll continue to classify all of them obviously.
