Potential Merger?

    Those two dark lines are throwing me off. Can't tell if it's a merger, a two-armed spiral, or something altogether different.

    Hi yukoder and welcome to the Zoo,

    You could classify the central galaxy as a very disturbed spiral. Or else an irregular one.

    Happy hunting !
