Does it look like merging? AGZ000bj9p

Not quite sure whether this object is irregular or the crashing of two objects together.
Can someone shade some lights on it?

Feeling like a fluctuating piece of error--shifting in all direction classifying without a golden standard.
Old habits die hard, I guess, because I was a trained coder for human interaction and coded thousands of types. lol

There isn't a golden standard for a lot of these images ! Just give it your best shot and answer the questions as well as you can. We have proved time and time again that we (as a collective) are just as good as any 'specialist' on their own ! And we can manage much larger databases ! ;D
Don't over think things and just have fun !
Happy hunting ! π

Thanks, Elisabeth!
One question ... I realize that most of the images have only a z<1. The pictures I have been classifying, I figure they were not taken by Hubble?

Yes, the galaxies that we are looking at now have had their spectral chart taken, and will have a redshift z value.

Somehow my sentence was not posted completely. The z values seem to be less or far less than 1. This is why I wonder whether Hubble took these pictures?

The images we are classifying now are from the DECaLS survey (GZ part 1 DECaLS), so definitely not Hubble ! π

A z value of 1 or more means the galaxy is very far away, getting very small and very red. See
