    Belgians are always welcome, Calidris 😃 I agree, it is a strange galaxy. the yellow galaxy has a very long tidal trail. It is irregular with lots of blue star-forming areas. I thought the two galaxies were at different distances, since they were so different in colour, but they might be at the same distance.
