  first i thought the brighter object to the left is a star .. but how could it be that large and bright if its BEHIND the galaxy?

  That is just an optical effect.
  The bright object to the left is indeed a foreground star.

  These look like two merging galaxies, with the round one slightly masked by the edge-on disk.
