HI,
I think this is such a beautiful sample.
Is that correct that such galaxies have formed through the merging with another galaxy, disrupting the form and putting so much energy in it during the process that it starts producing many more stars?Thanks

Hi Admino,
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. See here for more nformation on these images : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/09/21/new-images-for-galaxy-zoo-part-2-illustris/
And the blue/white smudges images mean star forming areas.
Hope this helps and happy hunting ! 😄
