These are 2-colour images, cyan and amber. Cyan is blue for starforming. amber is for the red stars. But green will be poorly represented, more as a yellowish.
Often, there is no spectrum on NED.

Classify the galaxy in the middle, even if the star is photobombing the image.
See discusiion for answer
There seems to be no disturbance in shape, so I would say they are galaxies are at different distances, so a slight overlap.

Supernova. See posts below your own and in discussion
Black holes only make up a small fraction of a galaxies mass, but yes, some mass has pulled on this.
Welcome minuszero This is a galaxy, stars have sharper edges. Two blue fuzzy things may be foreground stars or distant galaxies.
I'm not sure what you mean by bubble. I see a galaxy with few features, it may be a disturbed elliptical or a fuzzy spiral.
The software has targeting the satellite galaxy as the center, just classify the entire galaxy.
Welcome updiverdown , probably a an elliptical with no features, but hard to see.
A star would be smaller than a pixel, their image is gets blurred by the optics and atmosphere. These stars are widely separated.
These two stars are probably not a binary system. More likely a coincidence
Arc is fuzzy, so a spiral arm.
Welcome Scorbec. Yes, big thing is a foreground star and blue and yellow little disks are also foreground stars.

Blue objectss are in the galaxy, and are starforming areas
#nuclearring

The two bright blue areas are probably starforming areas in the same galaxy.
Red colour in SDSS and spectrum indicates that this is a bright AGN.
Yes, as you have noticed, there are overexposed stars in this survey.
The yellow light is a refraction spike from an overexposed star.
Good spotting, it might be. Please read the comments under your own.
disturbed arms
bright area around nucleus
Excellent observations. Can you put links in Science so I don't have to look everything up.
Yes, this is a galaxy made of billions of stars.
Hi, the other galaxy is probably a billion light-years behind it. So no merger.
It is likely a supernova. Good spotting.
Welcome laurencraig , this is a ringed galaxy, one of the unusual things that Galaxy Zoo is discovering.
Welcome ws22005 , don't be distracted by the overexposed star, remember to classify the boring galaxy in the middle.
Blue blobs are starforming areas, likely at the end of bars.
Ooops I didn't explain that very well in my last post. There are asteroids occasionally occuring in these images, but not this image.
Unlikely to be a jet, but not sure. Dark area above indicates a likely pixel collection artifact.
Welcome, extorn15 . Middle object is a star. Bright object is a dim star, and smaller while object is an even dimmer star.
Yellow line is a refraction spike from a nearby bright star.
Welcome LTPl0z3r , classify the galaxy in the middle, even if it is dim. Bright thing is a star.
Certainly is a disturbed galaxy. Maybe someday, someone will study it.
It is present in SDSS images taken 15 years ago, so it is not a supernova, just a foreground star in our own galaxy.
Welcome Shimarakin, this is probably an elliptical galaxy
The fuzzy balls are remnants of galaxies following a collision. The red disks and the top one are foreground stars in our own galaxy.
Blue is likely an area of increased star formation.
No one knows yet!
Unfortunately, not a supernova. See "Transients" discussion in the left column in Recent.
A row of bad pixels in a star. See the post Muffin? in Science
Welcome Tallypo . Bright blue dot is a starforming area, likely the result of a collision
Black holes are tiny parts of the galaxy, much smaller than a pixel. The blue blob is the nucleus of the galaxy.
Welcome nastroichik, yes some of the galaxy is dark, probably dustlanes in the way.

Not an asteroid, since it doesn't move during the imaging.
Welcome Kirachan. It is a transient, since it is pure blue. I'm not sure if it is a supernova or cosmic ray hit on the ccd.
yep, blue star. The classification will be very confused.

Agree, satellite trail. It is too well defined to be part of a galaxy, which are fuzzy, especially at that distance.
Just an artifact of overexposure
Hopeful as as arc, though maybe too far away from the lensing galaxy, Possible hint of counter arc on the other side.
Oh, weird. Thanks for posting Continued in discussion
I think blue dot has the fuzziness of a galaxy starforming areas, so is connected to the circular structure.

Edge-on galaxies are often blue at the ends where we see more of the blue spiral arms.
It wouldn't be useful if a researcher were sorting for 2 armed galaxy. I would say no spiral and disturbed, but that is just me.
In the future, maybe it will be imaged by a bigger telescope. Don't worry about it for now.
Welcome Wizardling, yep, a hard one. It is so dim that I am not sure if it has features or not. Maybe just say no features.

The images are heavily processed before we see them.
The dark area that makes the quasar look in front is some masking artifact that occurs around bright objects.

Too many galaxies have overlapping stars, so labelling them would dilute the galaxy-galaxy overlap, which is what we are looking for.
The term overlap is used for galaxy-galaxy overlap, which has useful scientific uses.

I can't see any features, so it may be an elliptical. It is hard to decide when a galaxy is far away.

Might be a distant starburst galaxy at z=0.8, but looks quite round, so maybe not.
If photoz is wrong it might be a binary star, one blue and one red.
photoz of 0.01 or so. Might be a purple pea.
I see a spiral galaxy with a nucleus, and another galaxy, not sure if close or further
I think the simulation has failed to produce a galaxy.

Hi, could you please explain further?
no disturbance of galaxies so small #overlap. Smaller galaxy is more yellow, so further away.
It is a blue galaxy, center is unusually white.
Always classify the target in the middle, even if it is small and dim. Not merger, is collision, with tidal debris.
Both are galaxies, you can tell by the fuzziness. Usually blue ones are much closer.

An annoying small galaxy. starforming,, red/green is an artifact. Classify as smooth, round
Yep! Supernova

But it does look weird.
Usually blue galaxies are closer than orange galaxies. In this simulation, the blue would be in front.

I'm not sure which shiny red dot you mean. do you mean the red star on left margin?

The galaxy is the small object in the middle, which is the #wrong_size , red things are foreground star in our galaxy.
Hmm. strange. Photoz of 0.6 say galaxy. Funny looking though
Strange that some are white and some are blue. I don't think I have seen that simulation before.
If you press Ctl + and zoom in, you will see that it is cut off on one side, so likely a cosmic ray hit that briefly hit the ccds.
Blue blue colour indicates it is a cosmic ray hit. Only a few things pure blue,

Sounds good.
Hmm, I looked in PanSTARRS, , red star ?
Yes, pink dot is a glitch, an artifact.
Sorry, it is an ordinary red star in our galaxy, magnitude 6, just about visible to the unaided eye.
But this time, say star/artifact. Someone will notice the diversity of opinions and sort it out.
Yes, usually I say ignore the star and classify the galaxy as if the star wasn't there.

It might be an AGN, but I see no spectrum to prove this.
Amazing red thing is a star in our galaxy. The galaxy to classify is the tiny thing in the middle.
There is no correct answer. If different people answer different ways, it means that the galaxy is difficult to classify.

Looks good, is green, small, and is absent in another image. Doesn't look like a cosmic ray hit, it is fuzzy and round.
Yes, difficult to classify. I might say features, no spiral. not sure about a bar.
I would think it has no bulge, and so not a box shape.
Hard to see, it might be a fainter part of the galaxy.

That why people still are need for sky surveys. Software can't tell the difference between 2 close stars, a star and a galaxy ...
with 2 distant red galaxies in the background.
it is a diffraction spike from a nearby star.
I would say yes to features, but no to everything else.
Amazing
The center is yellow, because it has older stars than the outside, and is bright due to having an active nucleus.
The software locks onto the brightest part of the galaxy. Ignore the star, and classify the galaxy.
nothing there, mark as star/artifact.
It is a galaxy made of blue stars, so probably the result of a collision. Maybe slightly barred, or maybe irregular, no correct answer.

Can you please calculate the distance between the galaxies? Thanks.
It doesn't look like a merger to me. No disturbance.
When it is this fuzzy with distance, it is best not to try to identifiy. 2 side blobs are actually foreground stars.
It is two galaxies, definitely because spectrum available.
I would say detail, edge-on ,but that is all.
Thinner at the top is partly an artifact of image compression for transmission, partly real see Finding Chart.
Yep, simulated as too far away. Mark as star/artifact
Yellow object is a foreground star in our galaxy, photobombing the image.
Possibly it will organize itself into something prettier over the next million years.
Possibly 2 stars, one very bright.
The blue might be millions of light-years closer to us.
possible #double_dust
centers are often quite red, many old red stars there.

It is too pixelated to be certain.
For me, smooth, inbetween, something odd, yes, possible double nucleus.
Luminous object is a star in our galaxy, in the foreground.
#no_lens, it is an edge-on galaxy, purple colour is an artifact.
Red glow is a red star in our own galaxy.

They are likely very distant from each other.
Red object is a star in our galaxy
mark as star/artifact
it is an artifact, often seen with lines of ccds.
the software has centered on a bright star instead of the galaxy
supernova are green, so it is a star in our galaxy
see Dim New Red Objects Dec 10 2016 https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ00027bx
Red stripe is a satellite in orbit, tumbling.
? I don't understand your question
Very distant galaxy, but mark as star/artifact.

Black holes are very small parts of galaxies. What object are you looking at?
ray is a diffraction line from a nearby star http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=9.033656&dec=-10.00805932
Agree. Quite confusing.

It is a large galaxy in SDSS, so needs to be zoomed out.
The 2 objects are stars in our galaxy, in the foreground.
Sorry? which object are you talking about?
Hard to decide, it is too pixelated to be sure. Just say smooth is you can't be sure of seeing detail.
Yes, irregular galaxy with lots of young blue stars.
The orange round things are red stars. Target galaxy is #wrong_size
The blue areas are star-forming areas, with the usual amount of gravity.
The triangle is made of 3 star-forming areas in the dim galaxy.
See the previous answers. Certainly it is unusual.
The target is a galaxy. Probably spiral, but can't tell how many arms.
? sringa? an ancient musical instrument?
I think it looks more like a cartoon deer ๐
I looked up in SDS, and it is a galaxy and star, but you can't tell from this ferengizfied image.
not a nebula, but a galaxy composed of stars.
Amazing. I'll have to put in index 2.5 ringed galaxyhttps://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=2
flare is from the red star, so an artifact.
Photoz are often inaccurate ๐ Sometime trust your eyes.
Looks like a foreground star in front of the galaxy
or maybe overlap
Always classify the object in the centre of the image ! ๐ here that is the tiny galaxy.
#wrong_size
Two stars, actually, colours are a bit wrong.
Definitely need sunglasses to classify it.
Are you looking at the blue vertical light? Because other bright objects nearby also have a vertical shaft. So artifact. #nolens
see Dim New Red Objects Dec 10 2016 https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ00027bx
The dots are an artifact of the ferengification process. The galaxy is too far away to see individual stars.
The red object is a star in our own galaxy, much closer ๐
see Dim New Red Objects Dec 10 2016 https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ00027bx
It looks like a galaxy with lots of star formation.
the blue might be a starforming area.
Agree, barred spirals and almost forming a ring.
Yes, a Seyfert 1 quasar, we are looking nearly directly into the hot center.
Yes, galaxies are sometimes can't be easily classified.
Oh well, you live and learn. Yes, blue galaxies are closer, then white, yellow, orange then red are very far away.
The center is dark because the ccd's are overloaded with brighness.
Yes it is a galaxy, galaxies come in many shapes and sizes.
Oooh, that is lovely!
Blog: A brief history of clumpy galaxies May 25, 2010 by Steven http://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2010/05/25/a-brief-history-of-clumpy-galaxies/ "
not a clumpy galaxy either, see above link for examples
not a supernova, the star is yellow, supernovae are blue-green
Looks like snow! Seriously, if you really can't see anything, mark as star/artifact.
I would say an edge-on blue galaxy, much star formation
red line is an artifact, so is the yellowish green spot.
16th magnitude galaxy, so not really that bright.
Hard to say, it might be a blue star in our galaxy.
http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237678859553931359
near 12 oclock possible purple pea
photoz 8.306E-3 zErr 0.115138,
or 0.008 plus or minus 0.008, so might be a double star
good eyesight! it is quite small, it could be zoomed in #wrong_size
It is two galaxies, interacting, probably eventual merger.
Inner one looks like a nuclear ring, outer one not very convincing as a ring.
Yes, possible #double_nucles
If you can't see details, mark as smooth
satellite trail ๐
Mark as star/artifact
Yes, several studies on running concurrently, and slightly different questions are asked.
Yes, these images are taken from the same photo base as SkyServer.
If you really can't classify, mark as star/artifact
I can't see much detail, I would make as smooth. Most of blobs are artifacts.
Light blue, hard to know if part of galaxy, but maybe since there is a hint on blue matching it on the other side.
Bright points are starforming areas. Strange shape, isn't it?
Dark blobs are areas between the spiral arms, which have nearly formed a #ring.
"Newly discovered RR Lyrae stars in the SDSS-Pan-STARRS1-Catalina footprint" seen in ADS search.
Blue object is a very bright blue star. Rectangle shape likely an artifact, looks nearly round in SDSS
blue features is some amazing star formation
Artifact. Two of everything, including stars.
Amazing. I was wondering if the if the spiral arm overlaps the galaxy bulge.
Might be smooth. Maybe.
... and red is an area of poor colour balance. Pretty though
Red thing is a star, crescent is brighter spot which overloads the ccd "film" green is from star on a different day of filming..

See something strange? Zoom out in SDSS Navigate and see if other stars are affected.
If opinions differ, it means that the galaxy is hard to classify.
Choose either edge-on, and report a huge #halo in Talk, or bar with no spiral arms.
Sorry, but I can't see any lens arcs which are usually dark red-blue
Certainly there is a lot of star formation in the blue object
Yes, it is an galaxy made to look far away. See Dim red galaxy in the left column in recent.
Yeah, sights like this just don't happen enough.

With high magnification, gets pixellated, and and more random. Arms are slightly blue, not really green in original, see...
The green line is a satellite trail.
The red objects is a foreground star in our galaxy.,

It is a galaxy made to look very distant to see how we classify it. See Dim Red Galaxies over on the left of Recent.
For distance to galaxy see #1 How do I : Find out more information about the galaxy I have classified?
Looks like a cluster of galaxies, too big to be called clumpy. #wrong size of image.

Artifact, a part of sky is too red.
Blue patch is to the NE, not NW because you are looking up at the sky, not down at a map. Say 11 oclock instead.
It looks like a brighter part of the galaxy, star-forming. The DECaLS brower in Examine
Yep, impossible to classify, mark as star/artifact
Blue areas of star formation and explosion, so you are correct in a way.
Arcs are usually bright blue, so maybe an overlap.
Yep, artifact, modern equivalent of spilled ink!
I would have said star/artifact , too.
Certainly the arcs are much bluer in DECaLS Browser. Nothing in NED
Classify as star/artifact
Classify as star/artifact then ๐
Amazing sight!
a lens arc is usually bright blue.
Always classify the galaxy in the middle ๐
Stars don't have enough mass to bend space as seen in these images.
Yes, the outer part of a galaxy is usually star forming.
Looks like the colour balance is off, maybe due to a line of bad pixels. Too blue.
Galaxy on the edge of the "photo". May be classified many ways, it is not clear.

At some large distance, it becomes hard (impossible?) to classify a galaxy. We want to estimate that distance.

..green and magenta blotches are artifacts, round red thing at right is a red star, small objects are foreground stars in our galaxy..
Yes, a bit difficult because it is highly magnified and fuzzy. Center is a nearly edge on spiral, small white is a white star,..
This is a ring. Lens arcs are in contrasting colours.
It is a barred 2 armed spiral. Is that what you wanted.
not an AGN, the spectrum in SDSS is quite dull

No lens, and I don't think merger. Links to some lens info follows
Let me gruess, the closer one is the blue?
dark body looks like a artifact, where a cosmic ray hit was erased
SDSS software guesses star or galaxy by the colour, but colour is being affected by neighbouring galaxy, has sharp edges, so star for me

white dwarf starshttp://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=4&comment_id=53d8b9d1db90c76202001111
White dwarf stars are actually dark blue !
Hard to count spiral arms, I see one and the rest is fuzzy.
The bulges are starforming areas.
Well all galaxies are the result of mergers, so maybe this is just finishing, and there is some star formation, the blue area
It is an artifact, a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "film", just ignore it.
a comet? or dare I say it, Planet X. Too dim to be a flare star or supernova.
http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=223.1855&dec=1.2126&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr3
You know, it doesn't really look much like an asteroid. Definitely transient, whatever it is, not in SDSS
supernova candidate PTF09dah no proper supernova number yet.
now I am confused. Do you mean the little green artifact on SDSS?
not a supernova, because present in SDSS image taken 10 years before, sorry
unfortunately satellite masking software chose a wrong target.
Yes, a lovely nearly edge on spiral
strange green is a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "film"
The galaxy can still be classified. It would be nice if it were bigger. #wrongsize

In browsers, all 3 objects are different colours, so #nolens.
Yes, looks like a broken arm, doesn't it? Strange green streak is a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "film"
Yes, DECaLS Browser also shows a gap. Almost a #ring galaxy
just an artifact
just an artifact.
blue lights are starforming areas, amazing sight
weird ball is present in two surveys, so is just a foregound star.
strange light green is a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "film"

Yes, lines like this happen alot when large areas of sky are mapped then sewn together. Just ignore it.
I would classify the galaxy and ignore the star. So smooth, cigar shaped. It may be an edge on spiral, but it is too dim and fuzzy.
Yeah, a problem. The software has targeted the brightest part of the galaxy, which happens to be a foreground star.

It has sharp edges, so it is a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "film"
Smooth, round. Probably an elliptical galaxy, but it may be a fuzzy distant spiral
Galaxy, but it is really hard to tell, isn't it
Not really much detail, so smooth oval, usual? well possible merger. but that is just me.

The stripes are internal reflections inside the telescope. See zoomed out view
I would think 2 armed spiral, and a foreground star photobombing the image.
The object with diffraction lines coming from it is a white star, which are usually medium sized.
The object in the center is a galaxy, though it could have been magnified more. #wrongsize

Distant and fuzzy, it might be interesting but I can't see anything in this image.
Sorry, this is a galaxy of billions of stars.
as you say, a glitch. probably a poorly behaved ccd.
Yes, I agree.

Yep! just foreground stars in our galaxy. see link for info on lenses.
Nope! it is an amazing ring.
Much of the colour is an artifact of image stacking. ok around the area in DECaLS, you will see many other galaxies and stars affected
I think a tidal debris trail? But not sure.
Not a jet, which are tiny features seen in a few "nearby" galaxies.
The 3 red balls are stars in our own galaxy, photobombing the image.
Yes, spiral, can't tell the number of arms, maybe 2. #tidal_debris
It is a "purple pea" in SDSS, starforming with lots of exploding stars.
These fuzzy blue ones annoy me too. I would say smooth, maybe inbetween. Nothing unusual. The software will measure blue automatically.
a pat on the head for you! ๐ always classify the one in the middle, even if it is more boring
software thought that it was a satellite, and tried to paint it out.
Squiggley lines are probably an artifact of "lassoing" galaxies during clean up of images.
Funny, I haven't seen any good lens candidates in the current set of objects. ie in the last year
sorry, no lens here, they are usually arc shaped.
Usually, if colours are very different, say overlap
http://d.legacysurvey.org/viewer/decals-dr3/1/15/10836/16119.jpg
hmm. I think..artifact due to image compression and maybe a cosmic ray hit removal.
oooh, nice.
amazing. maybe #shell galaxy?
Oooh, what a galaxy!
Just a blue star. Check the DECaLS Browser and see many other blue stars around it.
so distant, I'm not sure that I can see X shape but it is interesting.
a shekel ??? I looked it up on Wiki, but I am none the wiser. #alphabet #questionmark

Fuzzy, might be two ellipticals merging. After looking at DECaLS Brower, I might think overlap by a blue irregular galaxy over another.
Round red thing is a star in our own galaxy, same with round green thing.
Possibly the galaxy is at the end of a merger, a lot happening in it.
A cosmic ray hit, the modern equivalent of a scratched photo
Agree. I see no details, so smooth.

Oooh, that is amazing. Details, no spiral, and irregular in the last question.
Hard to know if merger unless the redshift of the galaxies has been done.

Yep, two galaxies, maybe all 4 galaxies interacting.
Green thing is a star affected by colour error. Other nearby stars are also affected, go to DECaLS Browser
Possibly top and side galaxy may have been involved in a collision.
center galaxy, hard to say if spiral, too fuzzy.

Interesting. ๐ It could be two galaxies merging, or maybe an overlap. #x-shaped
splodge is a foreground star in our galaxy ๐
red streak is just a satellite trail ๐
Puzzling. I'll call in a scientist. Continue in discussion
It is a galaxy made of billions of stars. It is fuzzy, it might be a spiral. Hard to see.
It is a dim galaxy, with LSB Low Surface Brightness. Probably all galaxies have dark matter.
possibly, though photoz is 0.04, purple peas are 0.06-0.09
just foreground stars See the Lens Spotter's guide in SpaceWarps http://spacewarps.org/#/guide

red spot is a foreground star.

target galaxy looks closer than background orange galaxies, with foreground stars from our galaxy, and an #asteroid.
You're welcome! ๐
starforming : go into SDSS and look at the spectrum, it has no O peaks, so not starburst. also is labelled ๐
If it has pointed ends, it is an edgeon spiral which is too distant to see the dustlanes.
not star, redshift and orange colour in SDSS show it to be 2 galaxies, or one with a double nucleus.
yes, a very dim asteroid. Green and blue images of asteroids nearly overlap in this part of survey
It is a cosmic ray hitting the ccd "film"
Your guess is good. Every galaxy is different. ๐
agree that it looks strange. Put in "Objects that need more research" https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000004/discussions/DGZ0000ycq

It is too fuzzy to say.
I think the red one is further away, so unlikely to be a merger. My opinion anyway. )
actually, it is a cosmic ray hit. Too short for satellite trail
Yeah, an artifact, row of bad pixels

#1 How do I : Find out more information about the galaxy I have classified? http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000005/discussions/DGZ0000lv2
Probably a white star and a red star in our galaxy. You can learn more about them using this link
to software, photoz=0 is star, not equal zero is galaxy.
photoz of star is likely contaminated by light from the galaxy behind it
It certainly is faint, with #LSB low surface brightness
see http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237668590799028282
It is a foreground blue star in our own galaxy. This survey turns blue into red.
Interesting image.
the area around the elliptical may be an artifact. They images are heavily cleaned up before we see them.
Yes, there are two disturbed spiral arms.
nice find! interesting overlap
Sorry, but 2nd nucleus is a foreground star in our galaxy. There is a similar star nearby.
Quite a mess, target off center, NED says galaxy, Skyserver says star. I'd go with star.

The supernova would have been just above the nucleus.
Sorry I don't see any Einstein rings
See the Lens Spotter's guide in SpaceWarps http://spacewarps.org/#/guide
sorry, but I don't see any arcs
Purple colour is an artifact, there are many in these images.
#1 How do I : Find out more information about the galaxy I have classified? http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000005/discussions/DGZ0000lv2
http://legacysurvey.org/viewer/jpeg-cutout/?ra=318.8052&dec=2.1895&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr2
Green star is supernova SN 2014bn , an asteroid is is in the view too. SN2014bn
It is a galaxy, and yes, the nucleus is very bright. an #edgeon, the spectrum shows much dust.
Massive ray is an artifact of the telescope lenses.
In DECaLS browser, it looks like a red star in our galaxy, so a foreground object.
#NGC 5587 NGC5587
Massive green ray is an artifact, probably a cosmic ray hit on the ccd plate
yes, odd looking arms, one over another
red streak is an artifact, a cosmic ray hit
yes, most usual #tidal debris
things with solid colours and sharp edges are artifacts , cosmic ray hits.
Yes, a browse though the literature shows group
Green line with purple decoration is an artifact, probably a cosmic ray hit.
galaxies don't look disturbed, so I think nearly an overlap
not lenticular they look like an elliptical but with some detail such as dust lane. #edgeon
Purple dot photoz 0.11 same as big galaxy, so possibly a blue OIII area in the galaxy. Or Skyserver could be wrong. Spectrum would be needed
Blue star near center is actually a galaxy, according to spectrum on NED z=0,02
#wrongsize
The bright object is a foreground star in our own galaxy, and stars don't have enough mass to bend light in these images.
Ah, well I am a bit confused by what you mean. But it is an AGN, it has a hydrogen alpha peak
for me, overlap
The targeting software was looking for quasars, but the spectrum turned out to be a starburst.
Lens arcs are usually very obvious. I don't see any here.
http://legacysurvey.org/viewer/jpeg-cutout/?ra=235.6801&dec=14.0915&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr2
artifact - cosmic ray hit has pure colour and sharp edges
There are red and yellow stars from our galaxy in the image.
wonderful, maybe a #polarring
Hard to classify. I would say detail, no spiral, irregular
You can find a spectrum in NED, spectra, retrieve
Your first guess is correct, they are stars from our galaxy in the foreground.
#satellite-trail_masker chose the wrong target
No, bright object is a galaxy. Interesting pair, continue in science discussion.
agree
Yep! artifacts. But I like your technical term "splotches" ๐
I see a shell of tidal debris at one oclock, and many small cosmic ray hits all over.
Not sure where you mean, use clock system, because NE is at 11 oclock.
artifact, a weird triangular shape in DECaLS
poor quality spectrum in skyserver z=0.4
Interesting. a "close" galaxy z=0.005 LSB low surface brightness
I checked NED, it is called Seyfert's Sextet 87 references
Actual size of stars is smaller than a pixel, they look bigger due to light scatter. So no merger likely.
The two stars may be binary, or just appear close due to line of sight.
Dark areas between the bulge and the ring, there are no stars there.
Yes, it is an AGN (active galactic nucleus)
This one will fool you. Mark as smooth, but it is a blue starburst galaxy.
If you go onto the DECaLS browser, you will see all the nearby galaxies are the same.
Yes, a nice blue star
Noooooo... ๐ look at previous posts, the image isn't magnified enough
Put in Unreported supernova #SNe https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ00016qc
Yes a transient, but it may be a supernova, they are blue-green in colour. Not listed in NED
Looking at redshifts, object on left is a interesting green pea and is further away. #greenpea
It is an artifact, area of photo where there was no green, so just blue and red.
It is a very nice barred spiral, slightly overexposed
Asteroid in green filter - go to DECaLS browser, and click SDSS and see it disappear
maybe #x-shaped nucleus? result of merger? spectrum dusty, no emission. nothing in NED
#zooniverselogo ๐
No colour difference so #overlap #nolens
? not sure what you mean, bright area in center is the nucleus.
It is a satellite track, likely a tumbling rocket stage as it sometimes gets dim.
Red spot is an overexposed ccd.
Are you talking about a cluster of galaxies?

The green line is a cosmic ray hit, an artifact. ๐
Well, it is hard to say. Detail, not sure about bar, no spiral. It may be a lenticular galaxy
Your turn to analyze!
......yes...... faint, but yes, a good spot! ๐ really good #dustlane
See the Lens Spotter's guide in SpaceWarps http://spacewarps.org/#/guide #noarc #nolens
very different colours in SDSS see discussion
I wonder if it is a galaxy within a galaxy, of interest to MaNGA researchers. I'll ask . Might be a software lasso artifact
Looked up GZ classification for SDSS image which has less resolution, and bar is less clear. Elliptical 67.9% Edgeon 6.2%
This one I think bar and no spiral seen, but probably is a spiral. But that is me.
Classification will probably 50% each way, which is information in itself.
I have trouble with these. Hard to tell bar in fuzzy galaxy from edgeon in large halo.
Yes, a problem . Bar. no spiral, ring. for me anyway. #zooniverselogo
U think large nuclear bulge, and no dust lane no matter how hard I squint ๐
I think #overlap, but that is just my opinion.
Nice find, possible double nucleus both z=0.090 #doublenucleus
Maybe, but It is a spiral galaxy.
It is a galaxy, but it certainly could be bigger! #wrongsize
Internal reflection in telescope? can see wavelength interference waves.

The two blue-grey things are compact galaxies which are much closer to us. Does that answer your question?
The red and blue objects are stars, maybe the white one near the galaxy too.
You can check the redshifts and calculate the distance to be sure that that galaxies are in touching distance, a million miles apart or less
but that is more for your education and makes classification more satisfying.
You can't use the extra data to classify an image. After some experience, you will get an idea of what is happening in the image
continue in discussion
classification, but it is good to learn something about astrophysics and the Universe.
The added information doesn't really help with the

Looking at Browser and SDSS, I would think spiral, edgeon and star, from left to right.
not totally sure though

I looked at Browser and SDSS,and I think it is a galaxy - galaxy #overlap
red under nucleus looks like old red stars in the bulge
You would need to find the z or photoz to be sure. But not much disturance.
Which thing? Black lines are artifacts.
certainly dust land and tidal. #nolens
It is a faint blue galaxy. #LSB low surface brightness
what is distorted?
Yes, looks like a busy neighbourhood.
It is an irregular galaxy, maybe the end result of a merger.
#zooniverselogo ๐
or #pseudoring
Nice image for a sci-fi movie!
Galaxy would look more balanced with better image. I think spiral arm, not tidal trail.
Funny flat area present in both DECaLS and SDSS images. I think DECaLS may have used SDSS data, maybe is along line of pixel collection.
Red and green marks are just artifacts, sorry.
Object is present in both DECaLS and SDSS, 15 years apart, so not transient, star in our galaxy.
Forum: Ringed and Pseudoringed Galaxies EricFDiaz http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=10635.0 The Kinematics and Dynamics of Galactic Rings, The Physics of Resonance
yes, difficult. Detail, bar, no spiral, ring. #psuedoring
galaxy?
Yes, hard to see anything, classify as smooth, round.
It does look like a ringed galaxy, but it might be a nuclear ring instead of a ring outside the galaxy.
Yaah! Lovely dustlane ๐
Yellow spot is a cosmic ray hit.
It is one or two galaxies made of millions of stars.It certainly is a strange shape.
Cute! But the pink heart is an overloaded ccd.
could be a merger, but is hard to see.
dark object is a cosmic ray hit.
Looks a bit like our Milky Way galaxy, though we have a bar.
Red square is an overloaded ccd.
I think I would classify as irregular
green line looks like a satellite trail
I vote that merger will eventually happen. That will make big gravitational waves.
Mark as star/ artifact.
No, it is made of stars. Quite hard to describe, isn't it?
The blue cloud is a starforming galaxy, with lots of blue stars.
yes strange, a nearly completed merger I suppose
Object at bottom is a star, unusual magenta in SDSS, maybe a binary star, one red and one blue.
I had to look that up. See discussion in Science.
pink colour is a artifact , no green in messy area, so turns white into blue-red
blue galaxy, not a nebula http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=4&comment_id=53d8b9c3db90c76710000fa0
Nucleus is very slightly redder than rest of galaxy, because it is made of older red stars.
Blue edge of galaxy is artifact due to atmospheric conditions.
Definitely #edgeon with #dustlane, it is clearer in the browser
I would say detail, edgeon
Hmm.. maybe a little bar
Yes, it looks like an #edgeon galaxy with #starforming areas
long #tidal trail
Quite impressive!
#edgeon #starburst
#starburst galaxy
red things are cosmic ray hits
maybe interacting
Tough one, not sure if overlap or very late merger
no, I think blue is starforming
They don't look disturbed so probably no merger
Pseudoringed http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=10635.0 The Kinematics and Dynamics of Galactic Rings, The Physics of Resonance
But yes, quite a starforming galaxy
not SE, but SW, directions are opposite because you are looking up.
Ooooh, good spotting, nice dustlane, much clearer in Browser
Lovely ๐
No disturbance so hard to decide if merger
They might be 3 very separated objects.
agree, just do your best. #wrongsize
You are correct, the weird coloured bars are a camera artifact.
Agree, it is a blue star in our galaxy.
No, it looks little because it is far away. It looks quite large.
small sharp objects like that are cosmic ray hits.
Well, for me, I would say a nearly completed merger, resulting in an irregular galaxy.

Supernova are green-blue, and sharper. these are starforming areas.
Here are some supernovaย http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=4
I would classify as detail, then no to most other questions.
well, correct colour for a supernova, we need c_cld to tell us if it is too green and therefore a cosmic ray hit.
Each galaxy affects the other one, ๐
Not a dust lane, upper blob looks like a foreground star, in SDSS.
Yes, looks like a blue star
To me, it looks disturbed, so probably an interaction.
It might be either a disturbed ellipical or fuzzy spiral. I would classify as smooth, since I can't see much.
Strange green object is a blue star, colours are not what you would expect because optimized for distant galaxies, not nearby stars.
good point, continue in discussion
Two extra round objects are stars in our galaxy. No dust lane, need an edgeon galaxy, but there are star trails.
Might be both or either, I think perhaps tidal trail.
These round things are all stars in our galaxy. The galaxy is made of distant stars and look fuzzy.
Purple bars are photographic artifact, There are many in these images.
Agree, I think probably connected.
It is an AGN, a active galactic nucleus. It is red on SDSS, which indicates hot hydrogen.
It is a star, present in both DECaLS and SDSS. #notsupernova
If it has pointy ends, then it is a nearly edge-on spiral. Ellipticals have rounded ends.

sorry, just a red star, supernovae are blue-green. see link
A treat for the day. Thank you for posting.
artifact - galaxies have a red "shadow" to the left. A double exposure poorly aligned.
I would love to see a computer animation of the history of these two galaxies.
green streak is an artifact. Blue spot may be a starforming area, maybe caused by radiation from nucleus hitting other galaxy.
Or an elliptical with a large tidal trail.
A tough one. It might be an edge-on with a huge bulge.
Stars going in several direction. good candidate for MaNGA
studies.
What a fantastic galaxy! A binary coalescent event, see NED #UGC 05825 UGC05825
The second bright spot is a red star in our own galaxy in the foreground. Just ignore it.
Hard to see the galaxy, probably smooth and round.
Yes, an artifact but ignore it. There are many artifacts. We don't see them after a while.
The satellite masking software thought that the edge-on galaxy was a satellite.
The center of the red star is so bright that it has overloaded the ccds.
Galaxies have fuzzy edges. I think two galaxies might be interacting, several small parts torn off.
round objects with edges are usually stars. Below both galaxies is a red star.
Good find, it does look like a #double_nucleus
Yes, a very unusual galaxy. See discussion in Science (pseudoringed galaxy?)
yes, it looks like a bar.
It is an elliptical galaxy, classify as smooth, oval ๐
green and magenta objects are artifacts. lots of them on these images.
bright star is a star in our galaxy.
Yes, it is the blue and green of an asteroid. which the software attempted to black out.
Not much deformation, so probably no merging.
I would say smooth, oval, something different? other maybe double nucleus, hard to say.
Hmmm, looks that way in both DECaLS and SDSS, So not an artifact.
orange dot is a red star ๐
second object: SDSS Skyserver says galaxy has photoz 0.197zErr0.127 it may be further away,
Colours in SDSS are quite similar, so maybe double nucleus or overlap?
I asked a scientist
Sorry,this is a ringed spiral, and a red star in our galaxy in the foreground.
One might be behind the other.
Yes, looks quite busy
#1 How do I : Find out more information about the galaxy I have classified? http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000005/discussions/DGZ0000lv2
You can check their distances by finding the redshift value for each galaxy, which is z or photoz
Most galaxies are far apart, some may be closer to us than to the other galaxies.
see 3.10 Spectra Guide : How colour is presented to you on the computer screen
http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000ulp?page=3&comment_id=53fef74c25c642799800005c
This corrects the redshift of light from distant galaxies, but stars in our galaxy appear strange colours.
Infrared light is red, red light is green, and green light is blue. blue light is also blue.
A red star appears green in DECaLS.
agree, just an artifact, a cosmic ray hit
Maybe, or they might just be close overlap, since there is not yet much disturbance
sorry #nolens here, look at this link for examples
See the Lens Spotter's guide in SpaceWarps http://spacewarps.org/#/guide
I think black pixel is due to random flucuations in the amount of light - this bit just didn't get any. I see there are many blacks nearby.
hmm. unusual, maybe where a cosmic ray hit was erased, Nothing in SDSS, so is transient, whatever it is.

Welcome! There are no right answers, and sometimes a diversity of opninions ๐
Lens arcs are usually blue or magenta. Looks like a trail of stars
not a gravitational arc, they are usually blue. Are you seeing a dark arc? See DECaLs, it is a software erasure.

I'll put it on DECaLS forum

I think there is tidal debris, but image is too fuzzy to be sure.
Hard to tell, but I think one nucleus and twostar-forming areas
One of the nuclei is actually a star from our galaxy.
This is a galaxy made of billions of stars. There are some red stars from our galaxy in the image too.
Ooops, I must have the wrong asteroid. oh well.
In SDSS, shows several #bluepea with strong OIII spectrum.
Quite a mess, isn't it? Maybe the remains of a merger, with blue starforming areas.
Yay! using c_cld 's example, I finally successfully identified an asteroid, See discussion.
Rapid movement, since it is a streak rather than an oval. I can see that is is a near-earth asteroid. magnitude 16

yes, both look like they are being gravitationally attracted to each other.
red bar is likely a satellite going through the image.
Is it #x-shaped ?

Never seen anything like it. Half of galaxy missing!
Very pretty, and hard to classify ๐
asteroid? No, in this image,blue and green would be nearly together. Just a blueish and greenish star.
Colour and shape not right for a lens. see ....

#bar and nearly #ring
no nucleus
bright nucleus #bulge ?
Yes, for classification, I would say smooth, because I can't see any details.
Yes, it is hard to tell. I would say distant spiral galaxy, because an ellipticals usually has smaller nucleus.
I would think #ringed
Yes, it could fit into many categories. Sometimes there isn't one correct answer.
Since asteroids do an apparent looping orbit in our sky.
Maybe retrograde in blue and green, but came back in prograde in red image taken a month later? just a wild guess
http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=224.5835&dec=12.7236&zoom=15&layer=decals-dr2
oh, yes,,,
Yes, that is quite a bar!
The difference of opinion tells us something about the object - it doesn't fit easily into a category.
Some people will say details, no spiral arms, and some will say elliptical.
more red in DECaLS2 http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=196.1402&dec=0.1361&zoom=15&layer=decals-dr2

Supernova are smaller, and usually blue-green. see http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=4
Was the image more clear during classification? http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=196.1357&dec=0.1382&zoom=15&layer=decals-dr2

Good question. I usually look around for a galaxy nearby that may be disturbing it, but I don't see anything.
yes, overlap is useful for researchers
artifact made by the ccds. Bring back emulsion film!
Artifact / artefact ๐ cosmic ray hitting the ccds
Interesting! Put in Objects that need more research. http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000004/discussions/DGZ0000ycq
We just get used to them after a while, and don't even see them anymore.
and see that there are many artifacts / artefacts.
Have a wander around DECaLS sky using the link. below.

The lower object is a star in our galaxy, so not close to the galaxy.
I think line of sight
๐ yes, more asteroids ๐
Although I was confused by the 24 hour clock at first !
yes, quasar http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?ra=359.1410746590374&dec=0.9548932088014085
Yes, no two galaxies are the same.
You can comment on the others, it's allowed :}
artifact made by a spike from a nearby star, ccds are affected, go to the link and follow the spike which goes off to the left.
http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=336.0032&dec=-1.4477&zoom=16&layer=decals-dr2
Yeah, it could be the pre-merger of two spirals.
There might be two nuclei.
#photobomb ๐
just amazing
That nucleus is very active and being fed stars, so I would say merger.
Probably satellite galaxiesm see link below for examples of lenses.

Maybe its black hole is having a big meal.
agree is strange, close z=0.03, hot hydrogen yet not starforming
I think a spiral with several blue starforming areas
interesting merger, and a cosmic ray hit. See discussion.
artifact - probably cosmic ray cut out, one side missing as different images sewn together
http://imagine.legacysurvey.org/?ra=119.06752480735821&dec=28.41292365353907&zoom=14&layer=decals-dr1j
red colour is an artifact. http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=322.5782193&dec=10.90146948
agree. bottom line of eyetest ๐
Both have spectra in SDSS, and both are galaxies? Though spectra may have interference.
might be, see the discussion
The blue thing is a star in our galaxy. It is so bright that it saturates the ccds.
This is an irregular galaxy with starforming areas.
examples of jets here http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?
jets can only be seen in a few nearby galaxies, they are very small
broken arm?
Red colour is probably due to slight misalignment of filter images
bright nucleus, possible binary nucleus
I don't think billion Sun black holes have been detected.
Black holes are too small to be seen, and only eat small numbers of stars.
Yes, hard to see, just do your best.
no counterpart in SDSS. so an artifact, probably a cosmic ray strike
Well, I would say #overlap , no hint of merging for me. It's a nice one.
http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=119.5444&dec=23.4550&zoom=15&layer=decals-dr2
Yes, a very slow moving asteroid. see it in dr2, and flicker with SDSS button. The red disk is not part of the asteroid image.
Yes, amazing tidal debris ๐
Purple object is a star in our galaxy, which saturates the ccds.
agree, artifact, more of that in other galaxies
SkyServer says star, spectra says galaxy, I say galaxy. ๐
That is beautiful, isn't it?
One aberrant line has wrecked the y-axis, the spectrum would look better if the artifact spike was removed.
satellite trail , but is more boring
Just it is a star.

Yeah, hard to tell from this angle
looking at SDSS, I would say a close galaxy #overlap
no interaction for me
green dots are an artifact
The three main objects are galaxies. No supernovae in this image.
This is a high quality image. Remember this galaxy is probably 100 million light-years away.
This is a galaxy. It probably has a black hole in the center, but black holes are too small to see, even nearby ones.
Dark line is an artifact, it goes across the whole image.

I'll call in a scientist.
Not a sun, but a very bright nucleus of a galaxy.
Two blue lines.. Hmmm, very thin, like a lens arc.
Since there is no disturbance, I would think #overlap.
Yeah, hard one. Could be many things. There is no correct answer. Just do your best.
It is a star in our own galaxy. It is so bright it has overloaded the ccds.
no hint of disturbance, so no merger for me
yes, fine #tidal_debris
supernova are green or blue, but this a a cute array of stars in our galaxy.
good observation, possible #lens ? see discussion
I'll put it in objects that need more research.
Not a lens, they are a different colour..Interesting pattern around the galaxy though. #nolens
The centre of ellipticals often have a star-like nucleus.
the two galaxies are different colour which often indicates that they are at different distances.
Put in "Objects that should be .."
Spectra chart seems normal, no extra peaks that might indicate a lens. Must be hot hydrogen around nucleus.
That is interesting! A red ring. Maybe a gravitational lens?
Nice #ringed galaxy!
The elliptical shaped objects are galaxies in this image. Sometimes galaxies are round, but they look fuzzier than stars.
In SDSS, spectrum and colour says ordinary elliptical galaxy, but closer than many that we classify
#nomerger, this bright object is a star.
Sorry, I don't see supernova, they are blue or green in SDSS
#tidal_debris
You found life? Sorry, but you must be in the wrong zoo. Nothing of interest to biologists here. ๐
#overlap as decided by redshifts
But I can't seem to get the Hubble image from AEGIS. http://tkserver.keck.hawaii.edu/egs/dataAccess/query/egs_query_deep2.php
Galaxies of z=0.9 are hardly visible in SDSS. If that the red object is a galaxy, I would say that it is 0.6.
The SIMBAD object may be the blue area on the bottom left of the orange star. Blue area is 3.88 arc seconds away from the centre object.
How did you guess that it was a quasar?
Yes, blue star is a quasar z=1.1 http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237660561895129333 Skyserver still says star.
Red smudges are distant stars in our galaxy.
Might be an elliptical, or likely a spiral too far away to see its arms. Until we get a better image, there is no right answer.
supernova are brighter, this looks like a star in our galaxy.
All the simulations are of galaxies.
Green object is a blue star, overexposing the ccds.

The blue dot is a blue star
Hmmm... well, either irregular or a disturbed edgeon
The blue is a blue star. ๐
This is a simulated galaxy with a faint nucleus and some starforming areas.
Not sure if I can see a ring at bottom left.
Yes, strange green dot, and it is red on SDSS ? DECaLS is further into the infrared, so what is red on SDSS becomes green.
"tail" is likely a distant red galaxy.

Nice interaction. ๐
It is a star with diffraction spikes and an overexposed center which overloads the sensors.
Another line of malfunctioning ccds, changes colour and shape of objects.
The streaky line is caused by malfuctioning ccds,
Green outline is an artifact. Maybe green filter was used at a different time, and images don't exactly match.
Hard to say, maybe a barred galaxy? There will be a difference of opinions, that is OK, that is information in itself.
Too dim to identify, might be galaxy fragment, or maybe a star in our own galaxy.

I think star, actual size of star would be less than a pixel, and it is overloading the sensors.

not relativistic jets, you can only see them in nearby galaxies, these are simulated to be far away.
NED says galaxy, SIMBAD says galaxy, Skyserver says star, I say galaxy.
The faint ring may be from where a cosmic ray was removed. These images are heavily processed.
Arms usually have more star formation than bulge.
Spooky, I wonder how the scientists simulated that? Often get a bright spot at the end of a bar, where star formation is taking place.
spectrum is so weak that it is nearly shapeless
Nearly correct, black stripe is overloaded ccd, star "masks" which block the light are usually square

X-shaped !!
If it is round, it is probably a star in our galaxy.
No disturbance, so for me, no merger.
I make it a star. Is there a reason you say quasar?

I think just a star in the way. No disturbance, or unusual colors in SDSS.
agree,probably foreground star. Bright blue in SDSS. Possible white dwarf star.
Which dots? Blue starforming areas. Red star? Background?
Maybe a distant galaxy
maybe the blue ring of starforming areas
sorry I can't see a polar ring
wrong size image
strange effects are stars in our own galaxy, getting in the way
Pseudo ring #pseudoring http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=10635.0
oooohhhh, yes, agree
no disturbance, so probably just line of sight
bright spots are nuclei of galaxies, they are too fuzzy to be stars.
must be some amazing star formation
scarey face...#pareidolia
Galaxies not disturbed, not sure if they are merging might be overlap
agree, amazing. another galaxy with bar on one side of nucleus
Image is 1/10 of the way across the Universe. ๐ We can't get Hubble images of everything.
Agree, weak spiral.
#polarring ? sim
galaxy very red, viewed edgeon, possibly a lenticular galaxy
๐ yep! #blank
agree, the arms seem lumpier than is usual for a galaxy, like rose petals?
yes, spiral arms can have spurs, so the arm appears to be split.
agree, galaxy with starforming ring around the nucleus

cosmic ray hit, image too sharp, too one-coloured, nothing in SkyServer image, and spectrum doesn't show any black hole activity.
possible polar ring #polar
White round object is a star in our own galaxy
Green dot and red dot are probably stars in our galaxy getting in the way.
Pink thing is overexposed star. red ccd probably most affected, so probably a red star.
The lines from the star are spikes caused by the telescope frame.
The purple thing is a star in our galaxy. The galaxy behind is much further away. Nebula in our galaxy are green or blue.
yes, star on edge is a red star.
green ring in just an artifact
agree, mark as star/artifact
agree, new star forming areas.
That is amazing!
Most round spots are stars in our galaxy
There is no right or wrong answer. If two people answer different ways, it tells scientists that the image is difficult to classify.
It is rows of bad pixels.

weird, I wonder how this one was simulated?
colour is too pure, green is artifact
Elliptical galaxies often have a nucleus that looks like a star.
Is it starforming areas on the ends of bars?
blue dots are starforming areas
Quasar is shining through the arms of a much closer spiral galaxy.
NED thinks it is a quasar! nice find. photoz=2.53, no spectrum
purple stripes are artifacts, we get them sometimes.
black streak is ccd complaining that the star is too bright ๐
hard to say what blue spot is, might be starforming area, might be a blue star.
I would think starforming, not lensing.
blue star, more likely, left in the simulation
yes, some artifact

lens? no colour difference in SDSS, so disturbed galaxy. The star tidal trails often show shell structures.
purple pea (in SDSS anyway) It isn't purple here, is it?

arc! did someone say arc?
Little blobs near the galaxy: they may be satellite galaxies that will eventually merge. The three bright objects are stars in our galaxy.
it would be an annular eclipse then ๐

I think nuclear ring, but a good observation on your part.
Shape is neither balanced arcs nor quasar points.
On the other hand, colour could be affected by being buried.
Hard to prove lens without a spectral analysis. Light blue looks more like star formation. Lens arc usually bright purplish blue.
Sorry, I don't understand the question
No merger, all three galaxies are likely to be distant from each other.

A paper describes separating the star spectrum from the galaxy spectrum.
Galaxy is a disturbed edgeon. The white-blue object is a star in our galaxy, ruining the image. Other small things are more stars.
colliding? no disturbance, so probably not.
Also, each star size is actually smaller than a pixel, the light gets spread out by atmosphere and optics.
They are not actually close together. They are at different distances.

the colours are slightly different in SDSS, there is a join line going through the galaxy. The pink colour is typical of an active nucleus

Center object is the nucleus of a galaxy, and there are spiral arms around it. Examples of remnants in the link above.
I checked in skyserver, it has no spiral arms at all! see discussion.
Nor me, no spiral arms in g filter, and we should be able to see them.
no lens I checked the colour in SkyServer, same colour as galaxy so same distance as galaxy. #no_lens
Bright object is listed in NED as a star, so it is "close" by and the galaxy is distant.
amazing bar, I couldn't see the spiral arms while classifying, but I see some now. Is it the same image? z filter.
short bar? or elongated (double) nucleus?
Many of the bright "stars" are starforming areas, blue in SDSS see discussion.
it has a double nucleus ( binary coalescence)
Yep! just a star, I checked in NED

I'm not sure what you mean by prominences.
Do not include smaller blob on right, it can be included in "disturbed" if there is an obvious interaction, but I don't see one here.
Not sure, I see something faint. NED says something mag 19.4, that can't be it.
Well-done!!!! Strong Gravitational Lens Candidate in the GOODS field. #arc
Pretty ๐
It has sharp edges, so a cosmic ray hit on the ccd.
Agree, Target and nearest have the same redshift z=1.017, interacting? Not sure about edge-on.
Faintest of blobs, maybe a satellite galaxy of the one just off the image.
We are not seeing many details because it is so far away. huge starforming areas? on either side of nucleus. z=0.672
It is a clumpy galaxy. Your classifications will help Galaxy Zoo learn about these irregular and very distant galaxies.
What a peculiar galaxy.I suppose large #bulge
Maybe orange nucleus, and the start of a 2-armed spiral?
Different wavelengths sometimes available in Examine, not this one though.
Or it might be a white dwarf star in our galaxy, they look green and round in these images, no info on NED
Nice, a starforming clump in that galaxy.
Yes, to me, looks like a Scotty dog's face. or Sirius from Farscape.
Black patches are from cosmic ray removal and subsequent "painting over"
Not related, blue (x=0.3) is much closer than target galaxy (z=1.17).
Good idea. A #bar? Interesting stage of galaxy evolution? #clumpy
This is a clumpy. Cigar shape is usually for the closer galaxies, which are white, yellow or orange.
Classify as details, clumpy, 3 clumps in a line. Don't include the outlying 2 clumps.
not a star, it is a distant and dime galaxy, and we can't see any details.
green dots and green in galaxy are cosmic ray hits.

You can check whether they are actually close.
Great image! The green blobs are more distant. see discussion
They are probably far apart, see discussion.
Most galaxies have interactions which affect their shape.
a boomerang? I think another flying bird.
A variety of different classifications indicates that the target is difficult, which is a result in itself.
yes, difficult. either smooth and cigar shaped, or features, edgeon, no bulge.
Hard to say if merger, but amazing starforming areas ! ๐
Can't be an arc, because there is no galaxy nearby to bend it. Maybe interaction in the past?
lenses look smoother, and maybe this is too far from the galaxy. NIce though, I hope I am wrong.
Maybe agree, could be #voorwerp, possibly too fuzzy to be cosmic ray hit.
agree, starforming
I think 2-armed, but one of the arms is quite disturbed and I can't follow it.
target is a starforming area in the spiral arm. mark as artifact.
not much of a bulge. see http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=2&comment_id=53d8b8190d43f776b000107c

Too close to be clumpy, I think starforming? no nucleus? too much dust?
Galaxies might be very distant from each other.
Galaxy Zoo is trying to find out, with the help of your clicks.
Yellow may be closer to us than the other galaxies.
Hard to know if other galaxies are close or not,
A black hole would be smaller than a pixel. The nucleus is bright and overexposed.
z=2.356, blue target, this is a distant galaxy, and dim.
Or a big cosmic ray hit.
Maybe a star, I think "green" in this survey actually means red light, so it might be a red star.
No, the star would be less than a pixel wide. The light spreads out in the mirrors and lenses.
Red colour at z= 1.29 , maybe a Oiii object, a pea. or dust shrouded quasar?
Hard to know if green areas are galaxy arms, or artifacts. Have to wait for James Webb telescope
They don't look disturbed, so probably all at different distances.
Probably an irregular starforming galaxy. much closer than clumpy galaxies z=0.58
Little object is probably a star in our galaxy, so objects are a billion light-years apart.
Globulars usually refers to a cluster of stars orbiting our galaxy, might the remains of former galaxies. Elliptical or spiral? can't see.
It is the edge of observed area. Mark as artifact.
The yellow part is the nucleus. There is almost certainly a black hole in the center, but it would be smaller than a pixel.
Yes, I think spiral 2, maybe 2-armed though it is too fuzzy to see.
Sometimes there are blue starforming areas at the ends of bars, though I can't see any bars.
strange looking,isn't it, maybe dust shrouded? z=0.922

It is a distant galaxy. The bright things on the right are cosmic ray hits.
Yes, three galaxies.
Not quasars, they are bright, it has 3 clumps.
It is a distant galaxy, so far away that it is starting to look fuzzy, even when using Hubble.
cosmic ray hits
I would say in between since it is more oval. I think if it were an edge on disk, we would see a small amount of detail.
blue areas, not sure could be starforming areas. green is cosmic ray hit, artifact.
continue in discussion
possible arc is 7 arcsec away, do the usual rules still hold when using high z and the smaller univere
It is hard to know if they are merging or not.
Great find of z=4.058
no, the arc is an artifact of the cleanup
Could this be an Einstein ring around a distant red galaxy?
photoz 0.45
Thanks Capella, useful reference for SpaceWarps, z= 0.55
NED has refs on X-rays and dust obscured.. This might be an #voorwerp
I think object to the left is a close irregular galaxy with starforming areas, much closer than the distant yellow galaxy
They don't appear to be disturbed, so overlap
#pareidolia ๐
#pareidolia ๐
That is a cosmic ray hit that didn't get cleaned out of the image.
z=0.45? not sure about merger, maybe the red is further away?
agree, almost a 1-armed spiral
ohotoz 1.3
Yes, I think clockwise too.
The blue stuff is a galaxy with many blue stars.
voorwerps are found near quasars, and this isn't bright enough to be a quasar. starforming areas?
z=0.51, it may be a an Oiii object (green pea),probably not supernova, too fuzzy
small dim galaxy, classify as smooth, cigar shaped.
Nice green, is it a nearby Oiii pea z=0.2, a spiral at 1.0 or a Lyman break galaxy at z=4. NED gives no clues.
What is green at 0.77 PHOTO? areas of star formation?
Hi buato you are interested in jets so see comments below and have fun!
most early galaxies were merging, so I would guess that.
cosmic ray hits that didn't get cleaned out of the image.
arc? a bit short and fuzzy. possibly, but not compelling.
yes, it could be a spiral from the side.
clumpy galaxy, with one main clump? or 2 clumpy galaxies, overlapping, it is hard to decide.
It is only boring because it is so far away. If it were a billion light-years closer, I'm sure it would be fascinating. ๐
Those white spots are starforming areas. The general brown fuzz is due to pixellation of the image.
Green things are probably cosmic ray hits.
No, the blue thing is probably a small galaxy
target orange galaxy z 2.5 PHOT, blue may be closer, my guess 1.5?
probably some star-forming areas.
z is 2.91 PHOT, so quite far away, and with an unusual red colour. I wonder if the redshift guess is wrong.
interesting. may be a #polar arm, a arm of stars going around the galaxy, or it may be an overlap.
Not being sucked in, probably drawn out by a passing galaxy, it may fall back into the galaxy eventually
photoz 0.70, why does it look so brown?
That is strange, unusally blue and white.
probably a star in our galaxy, but may be #supernova Oh, I see someone has started a discussion
The orange disk is a star in our galaxy
cosmic ray hits that didn't get cleaned out of the image
cosmic ray hits that didn't get cleaned out of the image

If it was a Voorwerp, it would be a single colour.
It is a red star in our galaxy.
to me, no merger, not cigar shaped. Features or disk, not clumpy, edge-on, rounded bulge #bulge
edge-on with bar, blue star-forming areas at ends of bar, #bowtie shaped galaxy, a PhD for someone here.
nope, never seen this before, but it must be an artifact
refraction spike from a nearby star.
cosmic rays hitting the ccd , artifact.
We are seeing the black hole nearly edge on, the speed of the swirling gases going towards us and away from us broadens the emission line,
Could you tell us more about your comment? I don't quite understand it.
Yes, probably a red star
an irregular galaxy as result of collison? or maybe a galaxy that is still clumpy when other galaxies are properly formed.
http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr12/en/tools/explore/Summary.aspx?id=1237655464306410096
amazing colour. z= 0.594 so not too distant, just visible in SDSS, with star-forming areas,
likely an artifact made when image was cleaned up from cosmic ray hits.
very nice, a galaxy with intense star formation z=0.60
a very distant galaxy. see comments below and in Highest redshift in discussions mentioning thisl
Yes, amazing red. A red elliptical galaxy, even more redshifted at photoz=1.3
The bright yellow is probably a star in our galaxy.

Interesting little blobs though, photoz0.99
Relativistic jets are small features, they would be less than a pixel wide in these images. They can only be seen in 5 of the โnearerโ galaxies.

very nice clumpy?
edge-on
must be a refractive spike from a star outside the image, cut off when images from different runs were attached.
looks amazing, it may be a dust shrouded quasar z= 1.31
The comment below links to image of the entire galaxy, and it is very nice, too.
agree, copy of galaxy
overexposed star in SDSS
#edgeon
looks like the filters were misaligned.
Looks like a 2 clumps in a row, or maybe an edge-on spiral.
very dime, isn't it !
artifacts - cosmic ray hits on the ccd
Category hard to describe, bar? with attached (nuclear?) inner ring, and a 2 armed spiral. Interesting.
They are artifacts, cosmic ray hits on the ccd. 0.851 PHOT, it seems more distant.
see M82 for nearby example http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=276620.msg393236#msg393236
Hydrogen alpha is also seen during galaxy collision, when hydrogen clouds collide, and when relativistic jets hit a hydrogen cloud.
Image is so pixellated it is hard to see if the ring is real, the object is a distant galaxy.
see similar spectrum http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr10/en/tools/explore/summary.aspx?id=0x112d081c40ae0036&spec=0x08981707a7006800&apid=
So why isn't the AGN knot inside the center of the galaxy?
Yes, both Oiii and Hฮฑ emissions, so both a pea (blue?) and an active galaxy (red?) z=0.370 so relatively "close"
Green spots are cosmic ray hits that didn't get erased.
ๆญก่ฟ to Galaxy Zoo. Agree, the smaller galaxies may be apparently small because of their distance.

What kind of star? A red dwarf I think.
It is a galaxy, the artifact from the star nearby doesn't affect the image much, so just ignore it.
Roundness is a way of understanding galaxies. red+round is a red and dead elliptical. blue+round is star-forming compact galaxy.
red flare is refraction spikes from a red star.
http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ0000ulp?page=2
Why orange? As galaxies get further away, their light gets redshifted. Very distant ones are red.
http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ0000ulp?page=2
I think one star in the middle, and two galaxies above.
Those little rings and lines are artifacts of the cleaning-up process. ๐
You want a closer image - need to wait for James Webb Space Telescope to be sent up ๐
agree star, quasars are never that lovely pale light blue colour on SDSS
Most are pointing to the side. Quasars pointing at us are called blazars, and are probably brighter, as you would expect.

All the galaxies from this time period were merging. Amazing how pretty symmetrical spirals can evolve from these irregulars.
Apparently not a star, this is a galaxy photoz= 0.79. but photoz can be wrong. #compact,
Computerized databases have a millions of objects: sometimes it needs a person to look at a galaxy critically, that is why Galaxy Zoo exists
I'm sure that it could be both a clumpy galaxy and an AGN candidate.

What a peculiar spiral!
Instead of a quasar, could this be a lens?
spikes are from a nearby star
This would be a compact blue galaxy, probably star-forming. photoz.0.69
Probably all are different distances. The round one is probably a star.
In Examine, h band is bright, i is dim, j is bright COMBO-17 26900
z=1.018 It seems too bright, and nucleus too prominent to be a distant red elliptical.
Maybe a green Lyman Break Galaxy?
nice green one!
agree. blue/purple blob is different,

Neutrons stars are too small to see at this distance, but I can see the resemblance.
Nice. Probably a very long trail of stars. Cosmic ray strikes are much smaller.

Galaxy has a SDSS spectrum , looks very strange http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237656532678213751
So AGN or quiescent! I don't think it can be both.

quiescent galaxy, I assume means elliptical
photoz 0.697
I think the clumps are forming a spiral? Would be a text book image, but we are viewing it from nearly edge-on?
Thank you looking at it, Dr Marshall.
A Voorwerp would have a patch or line of uniform colour, because it emits only one colour.
In SDSS images, we would see a typical colour of an AGN. I am not as familiar withthe colours in Hubble images..
I suppose if there are X-rays coming from it, it is probably an AGN, a black hole eating stars.
photoz 2.2 I suppose it is the grey target galaxy. photoz 1.8 for the red elliptical, more red nearby
The dark line across the galaxy is probably an artifact caused by image compresssion for transmission. They disappear in original image.
This red thing may be a star in our galaxy,

red thing is either a red elliptical, or distant galaxy lensed by the target galaxy.
I like the blue galaxy, especially if it is really z=3.4
If I put my hand over the target galaxy, and look at the blue in isolation, it doesn't seem so curved.
To be useful, a lens must have an arc, or have a counter arc.

You can estimate distance from redshift, but it is tricky work. If they are far apart, they would be overlapping.

Yeah, I tried to kid myself that there was some mass than I couldn't see. ie redshifted beyond detection, or dark matter.
Do you think we should ask a scientist?
Mark as star/artifact. I would love to be wrong though.
The target looks boring. It doesn't look bright enough to be a quasar. Spectra can be wrong.
A redshift of 2.55 would be a quasar. There are 4 blue dots, a lensed quasar possibly. Not bright enough?
The redshift of 2.55 is interesting. May not be correct though. Hubble spectra don't have much detail.
The line may be a random collection of dots. There are other lines in the image if you look around.
The target galaxy has features, but not much to classify after that. I can't really see any spiral arms.
redshift 0.289 in Tools, This is "close" in comparison to clumpy galaxies, and not so far back in time.
This is a zoomed out image, you can tell because the pixels are smaller.
Yep! More detail and much prettier in Hubble! ๐
yes, hard to classify. Is the target part of the larger galaxy, a merger or an overlap? There is no right answer.

Binary star red + blue, but some quasars at z = 1.5 are pink. Maybe not bright enough to be a quasar?
Probably I star, looks yellow, but Hubble is using redder wavelengths so a red star?
Beautiful. I wonder why it has blue star-forming regions at the ends of its arms, and on one side only.
That is one problem of 2 colour images.
Annoying, I am unsure if it is a distant large clumpy, or a nearby blue elliptical.
Blue star is not in center, so not the target.
Line is a spike from a star out of frame. Classify as star/artifact,
Well, I think overlap since the galaxies don't look disturbed.
possible lens, but need new Webb Space telescope to see it better.
I classified the central as smooth, cigar shaped, but the overlapping galaxy is amazing. Agree, blue stars usually have short life spans.
nice #dustlane , looks like a sandwich
Someone will do a masters on it in 2020 ๐
Agree, quite intense blue
amazing! and so symmetrical !
Hubble image, there is no correct answer, so I am going with smooth and inbetween, though perhaps I should have said features and clumpy.
larger Hubble image: possible #dustlane, possible #ring or #tidal
Hubble image: features, clumpy,
Hubble image, highly magnified: classify as "clumpy" ? cosmic ray hits at left.

Actual stars would be smaller, they look bigger than they are because our atmosphere makes the light fuzzier.
Are they close? Some may be binary systems. Other just close by line-of-sight.

no jet, probably nearby red stars , possibly distant red galaxies.
Try going into Examine, View the object at different wavelengths, use the i button (red) and you can see a star. Maybe that is it.
The image is blurry, and it is hard to tell. But the nebula would be around the star.

looks like two spiral galaxies starting to merge. They are not very deformed, so I don't think merger has progressed far.
good work! possible #supernova by @john.talbot.astro
There is a hint of bar, but I may be imagining it, so I wouldn't mark it.

#shell galaxy, either collision or rotating binary nucleus.
NED lists as X-ray source, so yes, is agn or quasar. pink colour is hot hydrogen.

I wonder if the blue spot is a voorwerje. Skyserver says star, but it could be wrong. no PhotoZ
Big galaxy possibly slightly disturbed. No blue star-forming areas. If merging, has just started
There are photoZ middle one 0.08ยฑ0.02 other galaxy 0.07ยฑ0.02, so inconclusive, so look at morphology
agree, disturbed spiral.

We can't see jets at that distance. interesting galaxy, continue in discussion.
a group of stars "close together" by coincidence.
classify as bar, spiral, loose, 2-armed

So many other white stars around so reluctantly, I think stars. Zoomed out image...
Most quasars are blue, these are white but resembles lensed quasar. I will re-post in "Strong Gravitational .." in the Forum just in case.

Yes, a comet. Look below for details.
yes, a good scary face! but it is an ordinary star. Its brightness has saturated the ccd sensors.
overexposed star see http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=264.00433392&dec=67.92169737
I'm not sure of target, big star is interfering anyway, mark as star/artifact.
Bright nucleus overloads the ccd sensors see http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237671685325193430
orange star to left of nucleus, so overlap
Yes, it is a galaxy, the filters didn't align properly and the red is not centered on the yellow
blobs are star-forming area, what a bland little galaxy!
No correct answer. Mark as star/artifact and let get problem get sorted out in the future.
difficult ... green/red/blue object is an asteroid, but is right in the middle of the galaxy to be classified.
circular rings/features of are star just out of frame see http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000003/discussions/DGZ1006byh
thin red lines are just an artifact ๐
I put a post in the Forum to discuss this http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=6927.msg661738#msg661738
pink colour image is from the infrared survey UKIDSS images.
Skyserver and NED say orange thing is galaxy, but they might be wrong. No spectrum
no jet, jets are usually make unusual colours where they hit.
isn't that amazing!
supernova are brighter so just blue star overlaps the galaxy, so chance alignment.
stars, colours of centers are artifacts
just a galaxy with star-forming areas
star - follow examine, SkyServer, Navigate to see category
red lines are artifacts. Only about 6 jets are visible on SDSS
see http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=112.40011251&dec=-1.9002488
Poor image at the beginning of the night photgraphy

too bright, overloaded the ccds in camera
interesting green blob is an artifact of the imaging process
3 stars in our galaxy, software thinks that it is a galaxy, mark as star/artifact
small galaxy, with star-forming blue areas
blue, slightly irregular galaxy, star-forming
6 stars, software thinks that they are a galaxy. Mark star/artifact.
"because the galaxy is green and it has a purple dot?" star in our galaxy, overexposed the ccds
they are a source of UV light, so maybe in the middle of a merger?

you are right, there is another galaxy nearby
overexposed star see
http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000003/discussions/DGZ1006byh
or #merger? two spirals merging into each other?
software thinks that 3 stars in a row is a galaxy. That is why humans must help.
classify the galaxy in the center. The others will be centered on other images
target is small grey blob, classify as smooth, round or star/artifact but it is too small to classify
bright nucleus has overexposed the ccd image. AGN are green or magenta. http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=277142.0
actually, the thing you are supposed to classify is the dim little grey thing in the middle.I would say round and smooth, but it is hopeless
one galaxy and many stars
3 stars in a row, almost like Orion's belt ๐
classify the centre yellow thing, which may be star, or maybe a galaxy, classfy as star or artifact

good question, edge-on? or bar? continue in science discussion
if you need a zoomed out image, use Finding Chart http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=324.29117222&dec=-2.67846721
no interaction, so I would say overlap
software thinks that 3 close stars is a galaxy
a star in our galaxy overlapping a distant galaxy ๐
artifact, these images are heavily processed
The nucleus has a lot of dust around it, which makes it look more red.
The target that was supposed to be classified is the little red one above it but that is hopeless, so classify as star or artifact.
for images of lenses, see http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=275811
a lensed galaxy looked stretched into arcs. These are just two ellipticals that look similar
not sure, but probably overlapping star. Could be star-forming area in galaxy, but strange there is only one.
artifact, these images are heavily processed
Blue object is blue star, and a UV source http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237667138566881960
Target is orange object in center. Classify as "star or artifact",
stars have spikes on them, see http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000003/discussions/DGZ1006byh
Maybe a red dwarf or maybe a red giant. If red dwarf, then maybe 20 light-years. If red giant maybe 20,000 light-years?
Yes, I think the yellow fuzzy disc on the right is a star. It has fuzz around it, but other nearby stars have fuzz too. Maybe a misty night.
see discussion in Science "What is this purple feature?"
yes, #broken_arm ๐
bright red thing is a star just outside the image. Galaxy is certainly not bright, and is made of white stars.
yes, two blue stars. no info on them in SIMBAD
Object is here in NED http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237671166167679035
target galaxy is somewhere between these two stars, some UV source. I see nothing
not an AGN, something wrong with with the image
very nice #overlap! the two long fuzzy objects are galaxies. The small round things are stars
maybe a #two-armed spiral, but it is hard to tell
no, but I can see why you think it is a supernova, but a #ringed galaxy, #asteroid at bottom
error in image, other galaxies also have the blue filter and the red filter image not stacked properly
If it is the green and white disk, it is a star. or did you mean something else?
could be merging, see Discussion "Are two galaxies merging? looking at PhotoZ"
It is a satellite trail. The satellite passed quickly through the field of view while the green filter was being used.
bad photo, zoomed out image "Bad photo?" over in Chat

trail removed in SkyServer ! ! http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237680243585712342
most galaxies are still changing, so mind-boggling
software made a poor choice of center, I would classify the whole grey galaxy
star in our galaxy overlapping the galaxy
yes, often star-forming areas form at the ends of bars
The yellow galaxy is probably closer to us than to the orange galaxy.
central z=0.062 orange PhotoZ=0.47 , so two different galaxies.
interesting. #X-shaped #bowtie galaxies may merge in a millions of years
blue star-forming areas in arms of spiral
stars are round, galaxies are fuzzy, so object at 3 is a galaxy
Pretty pink object is probably a binary star: a red star and a blue star close together.
Classifiy the central object, which is a dim yellow smudge.
The red stripe is a row of bad pixels caused by a malfunctioning ccd camera chip.
no, nothing that exciting, ๐ overlap, all three are independent. see the previous posts on this topic below โ
wondered if blue arc to right was lensed, but there is no "u" light in it.
ooooh, nice, but I wouldn't want to live there, too much UV light http://www.galaxyzoo.org/#/examine/AGZ0002ua4
yes, and some flat surface reflected more of the Sun's rays at that bright spot
red dot an artifact? much dimmer in dr7 http://cas.sdss.org/dr7/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=587727225159090303
smooth and even, so satellite trail
highly magnified objects are pixellated and messy, and colours don't balance. Just say round, smooth.
see Colours of Galaxies in SDSS : Redshift chart
http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=277142.0
AGN would be magenta at that distance, so no, or not much.

rotating satellite, meteor trails are messier
sometimes confusing, classify the orange galaxy in the middle.
It could be a blue star in our galaxy or it could be a star-forming region in the target galaxy. need a spectral analysis to be certain.

orange/green split in nucleus? probably an artifact from the CCDs used to take the "picture"
Almost all galaxies are the product of mergers.
If it is a bright object, then click on NED SEARCH in SkyServer, and there might be a "real" name. Not this one though, it is too dim.
To find the name, click "Galaxy Zoo examine", then "View on SkyServer" and you get the name SDSS J160726.05-165611.6
probably 2 stars overlapping the galaxy
yes, a pretty star in our galaxy
those are red stars in our galaxy
I can't see a galaxy in the center, just classify as "star or artifact"
The galaxy to be classified is the small elliptical in the center. The bright object with spikes is a star in our galaxy.
Sorry, I am not understanding the question. try http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=280028.msg593042#msg593042
also, red colour on half of nucleus. I can't find a filter or CCD effect to explain it

click on examine to get to SkyServer Object Explorer, and go to Navigate, see that it is a spike from a star
two stars close together, mark as star/artifact. The central object may a star or a galaxy, but the image is too messy to be useful.
stars have spikes, the centre in overexposed resulting in saturated CCD

#tidal_debris or #polar_arm above galaxy
looks like a galaxy within a galaxy
#dominant_bulge #one-armed spiral
I think it is an artifact of an overloaded CCD. It is parallel to the direction of the CDD movement. see http://casjobs.sdss.org/ImgCutoutDR
The latest images are getting close to the Milky Way, and there are a lot of stars. I would mark this as star/artifact.

possible #tidal_debris going off to right out of picture. I followed it on Navigate, but no galaxy at the end of it.

It may be a #pseudoringed_galaxy. See

bright area in edge of disk, real or overlap by star or galaxy?
not an overlap, see discussion

The symmetry makes me think that it is a possible #lensed_quasar
overexposed star
The z is not accurate at these low numbers, so you can't really use it to measure distances like that.
#tidal_arms ? very stretched out
blue #star_forming areas, purple in SDSS, and red nucleus (from #H_alpha emission ?, no spectrum)
could be a #one_armed spiral a #ringed_galaxy or just a two armed galaxy.
either #edge_on_spiral with #polar_ring or #ringed_spiral with huge #bar
round #artifact ? , probably from removal of cosmic ray hit? has a spectral chart, #active_nucleus with #star_forming areas
here is the blue part of the asteroid

#yellow_star , which are green on SDSS. Overexposed in the middle, other nearby stars have the same artifact
probably a spiral, but the central bulge is elongated, a #bar ?

The green fleck is probably a #cosmic_ray hit
probably #asteroid green, red, blue exposures in front of red star or red galaxy

#ringed
possible #polar_ring , there seems to be two axis, one small disk and a larger polar ring
In the classification, it is unclear which galaxy is in the centre. It has a blue area in one arm might be a #voorwerpje
Green arcs are likely artifacts. I looked in dr8, there is much extra green around the galaxies.
#voorwerpje #AGN #double nucleus
blueness around the possible double nucleus may indicate AGN heated gas cloud
#ringed galaxy
#overlap
The red blur is a red star. Stars have spikes.
When I classified this, there was no object in the center of the image.
