The illumination represented here appears to be a cross section of a spiral. Two brighter round objects in the oval at about 2:00 and 8:00 with a bright bar going from one thru the hub and to the last.
Quite a few galaxies in this image, some may be merging. Also to the 1:00 of the central object appears to be lensing. #lensing
Just very bright.
This disk looks truncated as if cut.
A couple possible things going on here. Main object is asymmetric, it has a merging galaxy (?) in the upper left or dust channel. Then the other big galaxy may be merging.
two objects
Once again there is a bar going thru the halo of the galaxy, Or, the edge-on view is surrounded with a cluster!
Stars clustered together from this perspective
Asymmetrical
Or is this a "comma" galaxy?
the artifact streak going diagonally is evident but please note the object in the upper RH corner. Is this an object or artifact? Beyond the above, this galaxy may be edge-on or barred from above. I just can't tell and would appreciate some help./
I'm just another engineer but if ever there was a fine example of a merger, this would be one. Notice the shared material and what appears to be a broken hub on the right galaxy.
Could be hints of spiral arms showing
Could be hints of spiral arms showing
Too rounded to be edge on therefor this must be a bar
That is a fabulous looking galaxy in the upper left. Not sure if they are affecting each other but I tagged it so that you could make the determination.
As with other observations, the relative distance between these two would indicate if there is/was a merger but the galaxy in question seems to be "reaching out" to the second. So I called it a merger.
There may be a star (blue) in front of this one.
This could be edge-on or a bar forming.
On the other hand it could be two or more merging or the beginning of a spiral. Oh the possibilities!
Trace of a spiral on one side, or could be a cigar shape partially occluded.
Artifact
8 stars in close proximity
This is wild. Two merging galaxies with shared material
Basic cigar shaped but with trace of two spiral arm.
Perhaps two asymmetric galaxies merging
one bar two arm
Looking like four separate suns
four seperate galaxies this image.
Artifacts present and possible second galaxy
Two different colors in the central hub
Possible Cluster. not sure which to comment on.
Multiple galaxies in this image.
Two galaxies in this image.
Blue dot at 4:00 may be noise or part of galaxy.
Possible object behind being stretched. Object is seen at 5:30.
Two pair of arms overlain.
#streak
vertical pixelated streak
vertical streak
Two tonal color is an image artifact I presume.
#streak
looks like an oblique view of of a two arm spiral.
Something is different about this. Either it is edge-on or top down with bar.
The hub seems to be off-center.
This looks like lensing. Can I get confirmation?
galaxy is asymetrical
Possible dust in the top segment extending from top to center
Outstanding image!
Cluster of stars
There is something going on here right at the limit of resolution. I see two tangential rings going thru the galactic center.
Star cluster.
What appears to be a prominent arm off the top and a lesser arm off the bottom of the image.
It looks like a lot of activity around the edge of this galaxy. Star formation perhaps
I ID these as numerous stars.
