#multibulge #merger #irregular #tidal obviously something is going on there!. But right in the centre this might be a star

Strongly interacting systems.

Indeed, star in the center, so this qualifies as an artifact? Not sure what is going on in these galaxies, very weird!

Very weird! Maybe 5 galaxies are interacting? A star in the center of the image, or maybe a supernova... I don't know, very strange!

According to SDSS its 2 galaxies with 4 overlapping stars, wouldn't explain the tidal debris. Can SDSS /PhotoZ be that wrong on all objects?

Could that be a quasar orchestrating this elegant ballet? Even if it's a star, could it be acting on the light (from 'behind')?

The two bright white objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. And it looks like the galaxies in the background are interacting.

Large group of interacting galaxies with some foreground stars.
