Is there anything interesting about this?

    I wondered if anybody could tell me if there's anything interesting about this.

    P.S Does anyone know why the yellow/green dot next to it is that colour?

    Hi benjamin.g and welcome to the Zoo

    This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy. (See here : http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/11/11/blue-stuff-in-the-illustris-galaxy-images/)

    The two yellow/green dots to the eft are two foreground stars from our galaxy. And btw, the colours are not real

    Happy hunting! 😄
