  Hi N3P0TU and welcome to the Zoo

  This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.

  I'd go for a very disturbed spiral with lots of star forming areas (the blue smudges) and maybe a ring.

  More info here : http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/09/21/new-images-for-galaxy-zoo-part-2-illustris/ and here : http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/11/11/blue-stuff-in-the-illustris-galaxy-images/

  Happy hunting ! 😄
