Hi Blusgon and welcome to the Zoo

Yes this one is really difficult ! It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And in these images we get an unusual amount of ring/ ringed galaxies. The bright blue dots are star forming areas btw

Anyway, just answer the questions as well as you can !

Thanks for participating and happy hunting ! 😄

And for some reason they occasionally produce some weird rings.

The blue/white blobs in these images signify star forming areas.
