Merging or irregular arm ?

  • HydroxyChloride by HydroxyChloride

    Tho i miss-clicked on my choice, I wanted to ask whether this was effectively a galaxy itself (maybe merging with the other on the top left corner) or if it was just an arm of the galaxy.

    Hi HydroxyChloride and welcome to the Zoo

    The object in the entre of the image is indeed a galaxy. I'd classify it as a disturbed barred spiral. I don't think it is interacting with the galaxy, top left.

    Hope this helps and happy hunting !

    Hi
    it look like that an arm of the left object is ending into another object.
    So Iam on the opinium that may we are watching two merging galaxies.
