Double-bulged galaxy?

• by MgkkN

  It is hard to tell whether it is a galaxy with two places where stars are concentrated or (maybe) light produced by another galaxy hidden behind this one which is examined goes through it. I think about another one (not very possible) explanation. Maybe this is the effect of a collision. It is rather impossible since then there wolud be a lot of strange-shaped space debris. Any ideas?

  Looking at it in SDSS, I would say that it is a forefround star in our galaxy
