Merger?

  • Dewgongz by Dewgongz

    Looks like these two are on a collision course, or perhaps in the process of merging after already colliding?

    Hi Dewgongz and welcome to the Zoo

    Both galaxies are probably interacting, but the image is on the fuzzy side. 😄

    Happy hunting !

    Difficult to say - they could also just be gravitationally bound. No visible signs of interaction. No differentiation in colour.

    As this is a simulated galaxy - I would just classify it and move on to the next image, and not spend too much time thinking about it 😃

    And there you have it! Two very different classifications, both equally interesting ! Just give it your best shot ! 😄

    And that is why it works!

    Multiple classifications lead to general consensus 😃
