1 galaxy or 2?

• by nyjtm

  In the DECaLS Browser the larger galaxy at 7 o'clock is clear and bright. It also looks suspiciously like a larger copy of the galaxy at center. But in the SkyServer explorer, in the Navigate view the larger galaxy doesn't show up at all! Any idea what's going on?

  Seems there are large strips that haven't been imaged, the larger galaxy just fell off 😃

  😃 in SDSS just press the 'navigate' button on the left, there you can zoom in/out, pan all directions , invert image colors etc.

  Have fun!
