I love those colors.

looks like it could be merging with a galaxy or 2! GALACTIC CANIBALISM!

Hi emilyland and welcome to the Zoo

I don't see any distortion, so no merger for me. Beautiful #overlap of two galaxies. The bright spiky object, top right, is a foreground star from our galaxy.

Not a merger 😃 A stunning #overlap of a foreground #spiral and a much more distant #edge_on. #dust_lane in the edge on galaxy 😃

That's one #beautiful #overlap. Chance alignments like this always make me amazed at the size of the Universe.

very nice. The star (with the cross) is certainly before the galaxy.
