How do you think you'd classify this

    There are very distant galaxies, probably quite young, and in the process of merging. Most distant galaxies are merging together to form larger galaxies.

    For me, features, bar, no spiral.

    We call these galaxies "clumpy" galaxies. Galaxy Zoo did a previous study on distant galaxies.

    Blog and Hangout Video: Clicking 10 Billion Years Into The Past by Brooke Simmons June 2013 http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2013/06/08/clicking-10-billion-years-into-the-past/ a video and hangout discussing the CANDELS images. "During this hangout, we announced that your clicks and classifications of the CANDELS galaxies have been moving at such an impressive rate that the first round is finished." "when you classify a galaxy from CANDELS, you may be looking three-quarters of the way to the edge of the visible universe, and seeing the galaxy as it was 10 billion years ago. "

    Blog: First Result from Galaxy Zoo Hubble by Tom Melvin January 2014 http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2014/01/16/first-result-from-galaxy-zoo-hubble/ "We can make the reasonable assumption that, by eight billion years ago, the majority of massive disk galaxies have formed, and have been, and continue to form bars up to the present day ...these low mass disks are forming bars at a similar rate up to the present day, but the difference with this low mass sample is that there are still low mass disks forming up to the present day as well "
