Unusual combination

• by pvevans

  This appears to be a combination of a cluster of large stars with an overall cloud or galaxy. or possibly a collection of galaxies. Any other thoughts?

  Hi pvevans and welcome to the Zoo

  This is simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set (http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/09/21/new-images-for-galaxy-zoo-part-2-illustris/)

  The blue smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy. (http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/11/11/blue-stuff-in-the-illustris-galaxy-images/)

  Happy hunting ! 😄
