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.
not a cat for me, I see a penguin with egg at night-time.
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.
Good comment, ElisabethB 😃
You're welcome 😃 there is lots of simple information for beginners here
Welcome grayb, agree, hard to classify, just do your best.
Welcome Jacobo1987. Green object is a foreground star in our own galaxy. Green and squareness are artifacts.
I can see a vague feature of an arm, so it isn't an elliptical galaxy..

yes foreground star, not a transient, also present in DECaLS http://legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=0.0026&dec=-0.0022&zoom=13&layer=decals-dr5
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
NGC5690 #NGC 5690
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.

Welcome GuzTiime. The star at the bottom has refraction spikes, due to being overexposed.
Hard to classify. Might be features, edgeon. Or maybe not.

Welcome stevie44, ellipticals are never barred, they have no features. A spiral, with hint of bars and ring.
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.
Looks like a #ring galaxy, there are many of those (not a ringed galaxy)
Nope, a distant galaxy with areas of star formation. If it were in our own galaxy, we would distinguish individual stars.

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.

Welcome back mfwuk. Not supernova, it is present in in older sky surveys, just a foreground star.
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.

I think the alternate z of 0.980773 is more reliable, because the spectrum doesn't have a Lyman alpha peak. But still behind the galaxy.
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.
This green object is indeed a quasar, as you can tell by its spectrum, and it is behind the galaxy, and further away.

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.

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.

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.

blue bar is an artifact
An annoying small galaxy. starforming,, red/green is an artifact. Classify as smooth, round
Yep! Supernova
Blue blob looks like a starforming area
But it does look weird.
Usually blue galaxies are closer than orange galaxies. In this simulation, the blue would be in front.
Yes, they are all simulated starforming areas.

I'm not sure which shiny red dot you mean. do you mean the red star on left margin?
Yes, simulation unsuccessful, mark as star/artifact
SDSS sometimes has misalignment of stack images.
Ooooh, nice
Hmmmm....... maybe http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=19.74255082&dec=16.32549983
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,
http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?ra=129.7015971&dec=0.94256926
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.
3.2 Quasars and Blazars https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=3
Blue thing is a foreground star in our galaxy #noquasar, #nojet
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.
Amazing. Maybe a merger of two galaxies, making a perfect X
Um, please tell us where you found this information

Difficult to know.
White bit is likely a foreground star in our own galaxy.

Look in PanSTARRS to see for yourself http://ps1images.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/ps1cutouts
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.
I think the orange one is much further away.
Sorry, but all these images are of galaxies or simulated galaxies. 😃
When you are classifying, there is no correct answer. Classify what you see.

Simulation has not produced a galaxy! Mark as star/artifact.
Just ignore star, and try to classify the galaxy. Edgeon, with unusual blue starforming area.
Software has targeted the orange star as the brightest part of the galaxy.
Its a difficult one. I would go for features, no spiral, anything odd-rings myself.

Star with an usual colour chart, maybe a close binary, one blue and one red. Blue might be a white dwarf high in UV light.
Artifacts have sharp edges and pure colours. Probably a cosmic ray hit.
Yes, usually it is the other way around, star formation in the outer arms. Maybe the result of a simulated merger?
It does look a bit warped, doesn't it?
I agree with you 😃
PAGE 2 Galaxy Redshift Chart https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000007/discussions/DGZ0000ulp?page=2
You are correct! orange object is a star in our own galaxy. Blue thing is 100 million light-years away.
Areas betweeen arms appear dark on these surveys, but are not dust lanes
#zgotw (Zooniverse Galaxy of the Week) suggestion
blue object doesn't appear to be present in a different image in SDSS, which has a fuzzier resolution.
Center object is a galaxy. Two white things are stars in our own galaxy.
Yes, I am confused too. We have seen many like this, it must be an artifact.
The middle thing is the object to identify, even if it isn't the brightest.
yeah, #wrongsize
supernova are small and green 4.1 Supernova https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=4

Here are more images.
2.1 Edge-on, dust lanes https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=2
This is a galaxy seen from the side, an edge-on galaxy, and one small galaxy. There is a star from our galaxy at top left.
The red object is much closer, because it is a star in our own galaxy.
There are many of these ring galaxies in the simulations.
It is hard to know without study, but they look distant me me. Different texture and colour.
Blue stars are actually clusters of blue stars.
Exact distance could be calculated. 7.3 Measure distance https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=7
I see only one galaxy. It would be about 100 million light years away. The others spots are stars in our own galaxy.

hmm, a bit small to see anything. #wrongsize but is a galaxy.
Red object is a red star in our own galaxy.
If you mean the pretty object in the bottom right corner, it is a bright star in our own galaxy.
brown colour is actually supposed to be lots of old red stars in a simulated galaxy.

I would say blue starforming regions and rest of galaxy has old red stars.
I think red object is a foreground star in front of the simulated galaxy.
or a galaxy with a double nucleus. I would say the middle choice.
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.
Yes, these illustris images seem to simulate rings of star formation .
not a supernova, just a star in our galaxy saturating the ccds.

Round object at top is a star in our galaxy. Other blobs are starforming areas. Yes, #ringed.
I would classify as barred galaxy with no spiral arms, ring. But that is just me. There is no right answer.

Colour and roundness, I would say foreground star.
Yes, software centered on a star, but you can ignore star and classify galaxy.

I can see why you might say lens, but it is too fuzzy.
#quasar! Very nice. Bright spot is not a cosmic ray, this is real
A binary nucleus. Not mentioned in NED?

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.
#dustlane
The bright spots are starforming areas.

I think star. Maybe SDSS thinks that it is part of the galaxy on the left, so is extended source which means galaxy to software.
It is an artifact from a nearby bright star.
Mark as smooth/round.
Interesting. the blue area is not seen in the SDSS images.
Edge-on spirals look reddish because of the dustlanes which are more prominent when viewed from the side.
Holes are just an artifact of the "distance" of the object.

That is how asteroids look in SDSS.
I think a distant quasar would be magenta ie. blue and red. This is light blue.
Funny shape of star is caused by overloaded ccds.
Slightly mismatch of red green and blue images.
I think some of the colours are artifacts, but I don't know why it happens in KiDS
Where did you get the redshift data for the smudge? I can't verify it.
left-star two brown are galaxies, blue is an artifact, a cosmic ray hit.

You will have to wait 100 million years for the answer to come back 😃
Sorry,no, also present in PanSTARRS images. Just a foreground star in our galaxy.
I am not familiar with these images yet.But I think that it is an artifact of software that dims a bright galaxy.
Dotty background is just random flucuations of light in the background. Possibly a blue star at 2 oclock.

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 😃
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 😃 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 ! 😄 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 😃
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 😃
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..

It might be a nuclear ring, though they are usually blue.

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.,
software thought that it was a satellite track and tried to erase it!
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.
Possibly, or maybe the blue one is much closer to us.
The blue object is a blue star in our own galaxy, and so not much closer to the galaxy than we are ;0

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 😃
Amazing sight!
a lens arc is usually bright blue.
Always classify the galaxy in the middle 😃
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.
Simulation of distant galaxy. Might be smooth, or might be star/artifact.

Dots are noise, ignore them if you can.
Yes, NED has a listing as a galaxy group.
I agree, hard to classify. But there must be a reason that it is included in the study.
Hard to know, though I don't see any deformity in DECaLS image.

a blue spot near a nucleus is always worth looking at, but I think this is a foreground star.
Red streak is a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "fim".

Yes, interesting white spot there. It may be a supernova SN 2003ec it looks like one in Skyserver, though location is slightly wrong.
Maybe not really close, the blue one may be closer to us than to the white galaxy. 😃
Ja 😃
At some large distance, it becomes hard (impossible?) to classify a galaxy. We want to estimate that distance.
the galaxy is the dim red fuzzy thing, not sure how I would classify, it is so faint. Background is random noise.

maybe a merger.
Green and blue is an asteroid. Quite a few asteroids nearby in the DECaLS browser.
Which object do you mean?
It is an artifact, a cosmic ray trail on the ccd "film"
yes, it is a galaxy, looks like a nearly edge-on spiral with blue starburst area on the end.
Actually, there is a very faint galaxy there, but I agree, hard to classify.
This is a ferengified image of a galaxy. See https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/ for more info.
but SDSS has redshift z=0.035 with tiny error bar. Nebulae are usually greener anyway.

Other people might say something else, but that indicates that it is a difficult classification.
Yeah, a challenge. Well, since I can't see detail, I would say smooth.

yes supernova. Continue in discussion
just ignore the artifact and classify as a spiral galaxy. Artifacts are for when there is no galaxy,.
Yes, some similarities between it and the book cover.
and red streak is a cosmic ray hit on the ccd "film". Cheers, 😃
..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
yes, very peculiar
It could be a satellite galaxy, making debris trails around the galaxy.
The fuzzy ones are galaxies, the round ones are stars.
About 1/5 of these objects are galaxies. Lots of stars and galaxies in this image!
Hard to say, but I think big one is closer.

Yes, the annoying white spot just to left of the nucleus of the galaxy is a star.
Welcome back Schrip!
This an elliptical galaxy, it is "smooth" and we see no detail.
It is a spiral but the arms are fuzzy.
It is an elliptical galaxy, with several fuzzy galaxies behind it, and several stars from our galaxy in front of it. Very transparent!
Good news! the image is cleaned up in dr3
Secondly, the galaxy has a ring shape, empty in the middle. I think artifact of masking and cleanup process.
Very strange. Firstly, there are 2 or 3 stars in our galaxy photobombing the image.
Like you said, The spiral arms viewed edge-on make blue thick areas at the ends of the galaxy.
yep! just artifacts, ignore them
