    It's what we'd call and #irregular galaxy.

    This galaxy appears to have a number of blobby features within the halo of gas. There also appears to be a lens at the center of the image (bright blue circle). I think the blobs might either be very large star forming regions or several galactic nuclei from a mid-stage merger. The irregularity of the shape makes me think it's a merger at some stage, but I can't say I've seen a galaxy quite like this before. Thoughts?
