    Although, according to SDSS, it's not one galaxy, but at least 20* 😮:

    See something odd though? There's a very real object - perhaps a foreground star, perhaps a foreground or background galaxy (making this an #overlap) - which is not an object; it does not exist! 😮 😮

    Veterans from the Galaxy Zoo forum will immediately see that I'm trying to continue a tradition (thread) started by AlexandredOr, back on November 07, 2009: Objects that do not exist !

    What objects have you found, that do not exist? 😃

    *every blue circle is a separate object, though only ~seven are GALAXY (the rest are STAR)
