orange collored ring?

    Is that a ring? I'm poiting out the orange thing above, a bit on the right of the galaxy

    Hi Levicorpus and welcome to the Zoo

    That is a two armed spiral with a big bulge, where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring. It's a #ringed galaxy.

    Nice catch !

    happy hunting !😄
