3 centres?

by LouisDeSmeytere

I was examining this photograph, but it seems that there are three centres. Could somebody help me.

Hi LouisDeSmeytere and welcome to the Zoo

Always classify the object in the centre of the image. Here that is the middle galaxy.

A great example of elliptical galaxies merging. Nice catch !

Happy hunting! 😄

Are these three galaxies merging? It is hard to tell because they are elliptical.

Im honestly confused, they seem to be merging but yet again hard to tell due it being elliptical
