What causes the blue halo?

I believe the #blue halo is an area of new star formation.

Looks to me like the halo's the spiral arms of a distant galaxy, while the foreground object is a dust cloud lit by the star at the bottom.

the central object is actually a violent merger with lots of starforming going on and lots of dust swirling around.

What an interesting object. A NED search suggests it's IC 2520 at z=0.04.

... and has been studies previously in a sample of starforming #blue #ellipticals. Clear dust lane in the centre in this image.

It's detected in HI - which means it has a lot of atomic hydrogen in it - the raw material for future star formation...

I'm not sure I'd call this an elliptical.... in the RC3 it was classified S? by the "experts", so even they didn't know what to make of it..

What about these green clumps?

I am not an expert but when I see #greenpeas I think it may be ionized plasma ... but ... who knows.

Both dust lanes and what appear to be much brighter blue & yellow lanes.

Is that a nebula?

Not a nebula 😃 A galaxy with loads of star formation and very high HI emissions. Have a read of the comments below 😃 Also a #dustlane !

Hell this galaxy is very rare, I would suggest.
A Hubble Image of it would be nice.Posted
