  It's strange and the two colors are very distinct. I don't know what is it.
  This is the birth of a star ?

  The birth of many stars - these are two galaxies in the process of merging. Different colors show different types of stars.

  What if they are #overlapping? In SDSS three bright nuclei are more visibles: more redshift information and spectra could help.

  With these kind of distortions it's definitely a merger.

  Yep. Overlapping galaxies would still look more symmetrical than these.

  This looks like a good #merger
