That colorful haze is an optical artifact caused by a bright star outside of this image
The red beam is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star just outside of this image
Do you mean the small edge on at the bottom ? Here are the coordinates : RA: 131.52037753, DEC: 27.67473847.
The bright spiky object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are optical artifacts.
These two objects are actually stars from our galaxy.
A couple of interacting galaxies. Really cool merger for me.
The spiky object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
All the objects in this image a stars from our galaxy.
Two galaxies interacting. Nice merger.
Artifact
Artefact caused by oversaturation.
It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
Satellite trails can also be blue or red.
Three stars for me as well.
Don't thinkso. The colors and the spikes are optical artifacts.
Two stars from our galaxy that appear to be close together.
Optical artifact
No way to tell from just this image.
Always classify the object in the center of the image ! 😄
That looks like an artifact to me.
Gorgeous merger!
Looks like an artifact caused by the overbright center.
Disturbed spiral looks more likely ! 😄
The galaxy looks disturbed to me.
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Probably overlap, but I would have marked it as a possible lens too (just in case)
The ring to the left is an optical artifact, sorry.
The blue streak to the left is an optical artifact or a cosmic ray that didn't get removed.
The blue ring is an optical artifact.
This is a very fuzzy spiral, so definitely no lensing. The red 'ring' is probably just an artefact, sorry.
This is actually a star from our galaxy.
Those are artifacts.
The blue dots are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No lensing here, as far as I can tell, sorry
it is an infrared image from the UKIDS Survey. Definitely a galaxy ! 😄
Nice catch ! 😄
This is an infrared image from the UKIDS Survey
This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. More on weird images here : http://tinyurl.com/GZartifacts
The green circle is an artifact. Dn't know what causes it though !
😄
All the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy
Not galaxies but stars from our galaxy.
The spikes, colors and weird center of the star are all optical artifacts
The object you are supposed to classify is the purple smudge. I'd go for irregular.
Thegreen half circle is an optical artifact. The bright spiky object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
With these kind of distortions it's definitely a merger.
This is actually a star from our galaxy, bt the colors are not real.
The only reason I can imagine why this one stays in the database is that the classifications vary a lot for this one
Definitely foreground star
It should be ! :- D This image here is an artificially redshifted one.
Very disturbed spiral. The 2 orange objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The bright blue object s a foreground star from our galaxy.
Always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one.
The central object is a galaxy. The one at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central object is a galaxy. The three bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nothing spectacular ! What are you referring to ?
No, the two bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Chance alignment for me.
Yep, definitely a star.
No, that is not a lensed galaxy. It is too far away from the central galaxy.
Th blue objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Not an ellipticial galaxy for me.
It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
Satellite trails can also be blue or red.
Nope, no merger here. The small blue thingy is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central galaxy which you are supposed to classify has a couple of starforming areas (the blue clumps)
The two galaxies to the left are probably merging.
Gorgeous merger ! 😄
Don't think there is a lens here. Looks like noise to me . But I'd love to be wrong ! 😄
This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real.

Althoug this is an amazing image, not sure why you are posting this here. GZ Talk Ourobouros is almost closed.
Definitely a galaxy. The odd colouring to the left could be an optical artifact.
Oh no, Don't be sorry, I just thought it was hilarious ! 😄
Groan ! 😉
The 'ring' could be fuzzy spiral arms and the central object looks more like a bar with a bulge. But, hey, that is just me !

A ring is a feature. So, if you start out with smooth, you cannot end with a ring.
1/2
Not sure how you, an experienced classifier, can classify something as an elliptical with a ring!
Not sure I see anything 'jet'-like, sorry !
The blue dots int he galaxy are active star forming areas ijn the galaxy.
Nope, not a nebula. It is indeed a spiral galaxy seen almost edge on.
Definitely not a star but a barred two-armed spiral !
I'd probably classify this galaxy as a disturbed spiral galaxy. But that is just me ! ;D
I'd go for a two-armed barred spiral to me.
According to SDSS it is another galaxy, but I'm not so sure. It looks like a foreground star from our galaxy to me.
The central object is a fuzzy galaxy.You could classify it as an irregular or as a very disturbed barred spiral. Just give it your best shot
It could be a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
Fuzzy disturbed galaxy or irregular galaxy.
The bright object in the bottom right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
If you see a central bulge, you cannot classify this galaxy as an elliptical.
The central object is a galaxy and the white one is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, no merger in this image. The yellow object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy.

If they are merging they are close together. If it is an overlap they are very far apart and the closeness is just a line of sight.

Sorry, it can't be both.
The blue blob, top left, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The yellow/orange line, top right, is probably a satellite trail.
Just looking at this image I'd say the small white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Do you have a spectrum ? 😄
2/2
And the object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artiffacts.

Nope ! The object in the centre is a very beautiful very disturbed barred spiral.
Hi Angelika !
What do you mean by a 'heated bulge' ?
Maybe yes, maybe no. Just give it your best shot !
For me it is just one disturbed (spiral ?) galaxy. The blue blob is probbaly a very active star forming area.
The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy. See the zoomed out image from SDSS (https://tinyurl.com/ya9axvud)
???
Then why are there so many images of very clear spirals ?
Yep ! A faint and fuzzy one ! 😄 If I squint really hard I think I can see a disturbed spiral galaxy.
The blue line could be a satellite trail.
With the more or less pointy ends I'd go for edge on.
The object, bottom left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, definitely not a merger !
Happy hunting !
Or a disturbed spiral galaxy ? 😉
How did you classify this one ?
Sorry, I don't see any objects below and left side?
What do you mean by heated bulge ? And I don't see any objects below and above the central galaxy.
Sorry, I don't see a large dzrk object above the central galaxy.
What do you mean by heated bulge ?
Not sure I see an overlap in this image, sorry.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Could you explain it a bit more ?
Not sure what you mean by your explanation. I just see a disk or spiral galaxy (with a rounded bulge) seen edge on.
The bright spiky thing is a s foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
Sorry, the 'jet' is another galaxy interacting with the central one.
Although the central galaxy looks disturbed, I don't see any obvious culprits in sight.
Not a dust cloud, but a real (irregular) galaxy with billions of stars.
Sorry, no supernova in this image. The central object is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on. The round object (left) is a foreground star.
Where ?
The yellow line is not a satellite trail, but a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this image.
You can get tidal tails when galaxies are merging, so you can classify it as both.
Sorry, I don't see an object, right side above !
Or you could go for a disturbed barred disk or spiral seen edge on.
2/2
And the galaxy bottom right is not an elliptical but a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.

The object in the centre is not an edge on but a barred disk or spiral galaxy seen face on.
Two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger

Here's the SDSS image : https://tinyurl.com/yaqk5buy . I'd classify this as a disturbed spiral interacting with another one.
The objects in this image are not stars but galaxies, probably interacting. Impressive #merger.
This is a disk or very fuzzy spiral galaxy with a big bulge.
This is not a planet but a real galaxy with billions of stars in it
The bright object bottom right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and the yellow bar are all optical artifacts.
Dear Angelika, What do you mean by a heated bulge ????
Both galaxies look very distorted, so #merger for me too.
Not a nebula but a fuzzy galaxy. The blue blobs are indeed areas with star formation.
This is a barred two armed spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring; No dustlanes in this image, sorry!
Sorry, there are no objects on the left side or above. There is a smudge in the bottom left corner and that could be a foerground star.
No merging in this image, just one smooth round galaxy in this image.
The dark spot is just an optical artifact.
The blue object in the centre is definitely not a planet but a star forming area in a (probably) irregular galaxy.
Looks like some optical artifacts around this smooth round galaxy.
Not enough distortion in either galaxy to tell if they are merging, sorry !
Sorry, I don't see a dark object below the central galaxy.
Oops ! Definitely not an elliptical ! I'd classify this one as a very disturbed barred spiral
Sorry, don't think this is a lensed galaxy. For one the 'arc' is too far away from the lensing galaxy. And it is too fuzzy as well.
I'd probably go for the two ellipticals merging. The spiral doesn't look to be involved (but that is just me ! 😉 )
Not sure I'd call these ones ellipticals, but they are definitely interacting !
The central object is not a star but a real galaxy.
The bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
The bright object bottom right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No clouds but two galaxies, probably interacting. Nice #merger!
The central object is not a star cluster or a nebula but a real galaxy. You could classify it as an irregular or as a very disturbed spiral.
The bright object, bottom left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
It is most definitely an artifact. The spikes and the round structure are optical artifacts caused by a bright star outside of this image.
The object in the centre is an elliptical galaxy and there is no ring of stars or a clump of stars in this image.
Sorry, there is just one elliptical galaxy in this image.
Or a very disturbed spiral galaxy. Just classify it as you see it !
I wouldn't classify this as cigar shaped as it is pointy at the ends. This is probably a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
Not sure where you see these overlaps. There is just one spiral galaxy in this image.
With these fuzzy elliptical it is not easy to see if there are disturbances, so merger is still a possibility.
See the comments below : two galaxies interacting. Lovely #merger.
There is no object sending a blue flash of light in this image, sorry.
No merging and no shadow object in this image, sorry.
There is no shadow object (don't know what this means anyhow) and there is no double star in the centre either !
Sorry, I have no idea what you mean.
See the comments below. The "jets" is just the disk of this disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on. + a beautiful dustlane.
Nope, not a supernova but a bright foreground star fromo ur galaxy. The spikes and colours are all optical artifacts caused by overexposure.
The faint blue blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy. The object at 5 o'clock is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
And the round object at 5 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Most of the other objects in this image are other galaxies, but without additional info it is not possible to tell if they are close.
The object at 9 looks like another galaxy to me. So, without any obvious disturbances, I'd go for overlap. But just classify what you see !
Gorgeous disturbed barred spiral with an inner ring !
The yellow line is a satellite trail.
See the comments below : the blue line is a satellite trail.
Why ?
Not sure what you are asking ! This looks like a disturbed spiral to me .
Or it could be the aftermath of a merger ! ;D
Your guess is as good as mine ! The central galaxy looks a bit disturbed, but the one to the right doesn't ! Just classify what you see !
Looks more like two galaxies interacting to me!

No dust in this image, sorry !
Nope, no 'shadow-objects' (whatever that may mean) in this image!
I'd classify the object in the centre as a disturbed spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on. But just answer the questions as well as you can !
If that is what you see, classify it as such ! 😄
I'd go for a disturbed two-armed spiral. But, hey, that is just me ! Just classify what YOU see !
Sorry, just one (disturbed) galaxy in this image.

The object in the centre of the image is a galaxy. But the bright white one is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
The yellow line is probably a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a very bright star outside of this image.
With these smooth ones it is not so easy to see disturbances . #Merger for me ! 😄
It does look iiek a foreground star. No z availabke, sorry.
Apparently the bright object is part of the fuzzy galaxy. Weird !
The bright object at 3 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Definitely two galaxies interacting.
The object in the centre of this image is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
What do you mean by 'a dead galaxy' ?
And there is nothing between the central galaxy and the star at 12 o'clock
For the umptieth time : galaxies CANNOT merge with foreground stars from our galaxy.
Looking at the disturbances in ith galaxies, they are already interacting/merging.
C'est certainement une possibilité ! Gorgeous #merger anyway.
Yep, yep and yep ! 😄
No merger in this image, sorry.
What do you mean by 'dead galaxy' ?
I'd classify this one as a disturbed edge one as well ! Or, possibly, a disturbed loose two armed barred spiral. 😉
What Budgie said !
Still don't know what you mean by 'dusty by inversion'. Some explanation would be much appreciated.
Please ! There is no merging with a black shadow in this image !
Sorry, no merging in this image. And what do you mean by 'dark stars' ?
Sorry, no merger in this image. Just one galaxy.
Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.
The blue blobs are active starforming areas in the galaxy.
I'd classify this one as a very disturbed barred spiral.
Sorry, there is no dust trail in this image.
I'm not sure what you are referring too ! (sorry)
The central object is a fuzzy galaxy and the blue spot is an active star forming area in the galaxy.
It's a optical artifact (a diffraction spike) caused by a very bright star outside of ths iimage.
Looks like an #overlap.
Sorry, just one galaxy in this image. No merger here.
Looks like another galaxy overlapping the central galaxy.
If I squint really hard (my favourite scientific method ! 😉 ) I'd say yes ! 😄
No double stars in this image
Sorry, just one fuzzy galaxy in this image. And galaxies CANNOT merge with foreground stars, sorry !
Definitely disturbed galaxy.
This could be a smooth galaxy, but you could also classfify this one as a fuzzy disk or tight spiral galaxy with a big bulge.
The central object is a heavily disturbed spiral galaxy probably interacting with the smalller one to the right.
The object, bottom left, is another galaxy. Not sure if it is interacting with the galaxy in the centre.
The bright white object is not a supernova but a foreground star from our galaxy.
The yellow is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a star outside of this image.
According to Skyserver the object in the centre of the image is a foreground star from our galaxy.

Sorry, definitely no gravitational lensing in this image.
Not sure what you mean by this comment !
That is definitely a possibility.
The central object looks like a severely disturbed barred spiral galaxy to me !
It is caused by interaction with another galaxy.
What do you mean by remnant ? The object in the centre is a fuzzy galaxy overlapping the edge on.
Do you mean the dark spot ? That is sadly just an artifact.
happy hunting !
The object bottom left is a foreground star from our galaxy .The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
This looks like a disturbed spiral galaxy to me.
Definitely not a dustlane. Sadly, just an artifact !
Happy hunting !
Just one galaxy for me. No merger, no overlap.
The bright blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The fuzzy orange one (which you are supposed to classify) is a real galaxy
You could go for a very (very ! ) disturbed barred spiral galaxy. Or you could classify it as an irregular. It's your call !
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is not possible that it is interacting with the central galaxy. No merger !
Erm, no ! It's a very disturbed spiral galaxy (sort of ! )
The two small circular objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy. Not sure what you mean by halo ?
The bright yellow blob is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Wow ! Something definitely came whizzing by !
The central galaxy is defintely disturbed, but no obvious culprit in sight. Could be the result of a fly-by.
Yep, two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger.
The 3 objects inthe centre of this image are 3 galaxies, probably merging.
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is just not possible for it to be 'crashing' into the central galaxy.
The blue blobs in the galaxy are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
The central object is definitely a galaxy.
Definitely two objecs (galaxies), probably merging.
The object at 5 is definitely a foreground star from our galaxy, so there is no way possible that it is influencing the central galaxy
Blue blobs are almost always signs of very active star forming areas.
I'd classify this one as a disturbed barred two-armed spiral. But hey, that is just me ! ;D
The bright object at 2 o'clock is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
I'd go for a faint and fuzzy disturbed two-armed spiral anyway. Not sure what you mean by darker ring though.
Yep, this is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on. It looks a bit disturbed as well.
The object at 10 o'clock is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy,But I'd classify it as a disturbed spiral with a noticeable bulge,but that's just me !
The bright object to the right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue dots are active star forming areas in the galaxy !
The central galaxy is definitely disturbed. It is certainly interacting with another galaxy.
No merger for me in this image, sorry.
Sorry, no merger in this image for me.
This is not a star but a galaxy with billions of stars.

But how did you classify it ? ;D
And the bright spiky object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
The central object is either an irregular galaxy or you could classify it as a very disturbed spiral galaxy. It is up to you.
The bright blue lines are indeed a rotating/tumbling satellite.
The bright object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Original post deleted because of language.

Yep ! The bright object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy !
The central object is not a star but a real galaxy containing millions of stars. The ohter faint objects are probably also galaxies.
The yellow round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Hi and welcome to the Zoo,
The two colours are ,sadly, just an artifact. Image processing error
Just an optical artifact (sorry! )
No dark jets here, but lovely dustlanes !
It's a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a very bright star outside of this image.
I'm thinking cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
Lovely foreground star from our galaxy !
The brigh, spiky object at the bottom is a foregound star fom our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
Probablility of it being a foreground star = 99.9999999% !
(sorry 😉 )
No merging whatsoever in this image (sorry)
The bright object (bottom left corner) is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The orange/brown streak is a satellite trail.
Sorry, no gravitational lensing in this image. The galaxy in the centre is not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
Not a clumpy gas cloud but a real galaxy with some star forming areas (the blue clumps)
The bright object at 2 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, definitely no merger here !
I'd classify the central galaxy as a slightly disturbed two-armed, barred spiral. But hey, that is just me !
Or a disturbed barred spiral galaxy ? 😄
Probably stars from our galaxy and tons of optical artifacts. Just classify as star/artifact.
I'd classify this one as a very disturbed spiral galaxy with a noticeable/dominant bulge.
The two colours are just an optical artifact. (misalignment of filters)
The yellow line is an optical artifact. It is a diffraction spike caused by a bright star outside of this image.
I would classify this one as a very disturbed galaxy with a big bulge.
For me, there is just one galaxy in this image.
Definitely a polar ring suspect ! ;D
Oh yes (the blue blobs) ! 😄
The central galaxy is definitely a disk or spiral seen edge on. The 'jet' is not a jet but another fuzzy galaxy. I'd go for overlap.
I'd go for merger here.
The different colours are not real. Looks like a misalignement of filters.
You could classify it as a disturbed edge on or as a very loose two armed spiral. Just give it your best shot.
The yellow object a the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is impossible that it is merging with the central galaxy.
The two colours are, sadly, just an optical artifact.
Maybe even two edge ons merging ! 😄
The bright object (top left) ? Yep, definitely a foreground star from our galaxy.
Happy hunting !
Sorry,but could you point out where you see an arc ? I really don't see it !
Just classify what you see !

Fuzzy disturbed spiral for me;
I'd probably classify his one as a very disturbed spiral !
Not sure if there is a merger in this image.
the 'arc' is probably a tidal trail from the yellow galaxy. See this SDSS image : http://tinyurl.com/y9gohmg7

Both galaxies look disturbed, so this is a #merger for me !
The bright object, top left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
The bright round object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot be interacting with the central galaxy.
See the comments below : It's a satellite trail.

One ring to bind them all ? 😉
The image is centered on one of the star forming areas (blue blobs) in the spiral galaxy. So it is safe to classify the spiral galaxy.
I'd classify the central object as a disturbed barred spiral with a couple of star forming areas (the blue blobs)
Sorry, no gravitational lens in this image.
Galaxies cannot merge with foreground stars from our galaxy. And the 'jet' is either an asteroid or a satellite trail.
Did you mark the lovely #dustlane ?
I'd go for merger. Both galaxies look disturbed.

I'd call this one a ringed galaxy.
The different colours are just a filter misalignment (sorry)
It's probably a seriously distorted spiral galaxy, but it is more of a ring than the majority of ringed galaxies that I have seen here !
The colour gradient is just an optical artifact (sorry).

The central object looks disturbed enough, but not enough data so know if it is interacting with the small round galaxy.
Arc can be any number of features, but here in GZ (and that is not very clearly stated) arc originally meant gravitational lensed galaxy.
Correct, it is a ringed galaxy, but definitely not an elliptical.
Sorry, not an elliptical but a two-armed spiral galaxy.
Definitely not an elliptical. It is a two-armed spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring. It's a ringed galaxy.
The blue blobs are star forming areas in this disturbed spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on.
Wow, you have keen eyes ! It could be a foreground star from our galaxy or even an artifact. Hard to tell.
The blue spots are starforming areas in the galaxy.
The central object is a fuzzy galaxy. The two small round objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy. Nice chance alignment.
What 'black artifact' are you referring to ?
Sorry, just one (maybe) disturbed spiral galaxy for me. No merger here.
Just classify what you see !
Thanks for participating and happy hunting !
Nope, sorry ! You cannot go back to 'correct' a classification. And anyway, for some images, there just is not a correct classification.
Sorry, no dust lanes in this galaxy.
See bluemagi's comment : one galaxy (the white object) and one foreground star (the yellow object).
The spiky object to the right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts
You could classify this one as a very (very ! ) disturbed two armed, barred spiral
Gorgeous ! 😄
Sorry, not a gravitational lens, but a faint, disturbed spiral arm.
The bright object at the top of the edge on is either a foreground star from our galaxy or it could be an asteroid.
There are millions upon millions of galaxies so there are bound to be some that ressemble each other ! ;D
Sorry, no merger here, although the central galaxy looks disturbed. . The colour are just caused by some misaligned filters.
Definitely interaction, so #merger for me.
Irregular is not used for galaxies distorted by interaction with other galaxies.
Not sure there is a pea in this image. First of, it doesn't look like a pea and second, do you have a spectrum ?
Yep ! Here they are : https://tinyurl.com/y9pgsqv8
Not really that fuzzy,sorry ! I'd classify this one as a two armed spiral seen at an angle. Just answer the questions as well as you can !
Nope ! Just misaligned filters and lots of other optical artifacts.

@angelikabellinghausen : the weird centre markings in the centre of the star are just optical artifacts.

The orange round object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not sure what you mean by 'strong radiation' ? I see two interacting galaxies. Gorgeous #merger !
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy..
Happy hunting !
Sorry, it is just not possible to see planets in these images. The dot, top right, is just an artifact.
Again not sure where you see a pea ? Could you point it out for me ?
Where do you see a pea ?
Could be a merger could be an overlap. With these smooth galaxies it is very difficult to say.
The central galaxy is a very disturbed spiral galaxy with a great dustlane. Gorgeous #merger.
Because it's so fuzzy,I'm thinking meteorite.
2/2
The resolution is just not good enough to decide either way. So star/artifact is the best solution.
1/2
Yep, there is definitely something in the centre of the image. But it could be a far away galaxy or a foreground star from our galaxy.
Yeah ! Sometimes the software gets confused. But that is where we come in ! ;D Just classify this one as star/artifact.
Happy hunting !
Wow ! This image never ceases to amaze me. Truly beautiful !
The black dot is not a star but an artifact.
Sorry but galaxies cannot be merging with foreground stars from our galaxy.
I see just one very disturbed galaxy. Could be any shape ! Just classify what you see and your classification will be invaluable.
Yep ! definitely a disk for me as well ! As for spiral arms, just give it your best shot ! 😄
Just one galaxy for me !
Gorgeous #merger !
The bright,spiky object is definitely a foreground star from our galaxy, but these images are heavily processed,so the colours are not real
It's a lenticular (disk) galaxy with a strong bar and a big bulge.
Foreground stars can be very dim or extremely bright and everything in between ! And almost every color imaginable.
I'd go for an almost edge on disk or spiral ! But hey, that is just me ! ;D
Sorry, no gravitational lensing going on in this image. Just two galaxies (probably merging ) and two foreground stars (the smaller dots)
Looks like a typical barred spiral to me. Lots of barred spirals have the arms starting at the ends of the bar.
Happy hunting !
An elliptical (=smooth) cannot have any features. This is a barred ringed spiral, where the two spiral arms fold back to make a ring.
This is definitely a two-armed, barred spiral. Nice catch !
If I squint I can see a two-armed spiral too ! 😄
There are just two galaxies in this image. But they both are disturbed, so they are interacting. Nice merger.
LOL ! 😄
Also , these images are heavily processed so the 'red dwarf' is also just a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not sure what you mean by this . All the stars you see in these images are from our Milky Way & all the galaxies are 'behind' the Milky Way
Sorry ! No supernova here. That is just a foreground star from our galaxy.
It is a disturbed edge on disk or spiral galaxy with an amazing dustlane !
Definitely an artefact. Could be a satellite trail.
I'm thinking tumbling satellite.
Beautiful overlap.
The big thingy in the bottom right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy; . The colours and spikes are (sadly) just optical artifacts.
The blue glowing thing at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are sadly just artifacts.
I'd probably go for a disturbed edge on disk or spiral with lots of star forming going on.
Sorry, but I had to laugh ! And you are right PrinceofEurope, that is just a load of gibberish ! Somehow we missed this (sorry ! )
Yep ! The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
See the comments below : the colours are just artifacts.
Neither, just misaligned filters
Happy hunting !
The blue thingy with spikes is a foreground star from out galaxy.
2/2
It can be closer or further away than the central galaxy, but without additional info (redshift) there is no way to tell.
1/2
The small round object (bottom right) is another galaxy.
The small round object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot in any way be merging with the central galaxy.
Sorry, but you cannot tag this as an elliptical and a spiral ! They are both very different types of galaxies !
It's not a gas cloud but an irregular star forming galaxy !
Happy hunting !
The blue speck could be a cosmic ray that didn't get removed.
No dust lane in this image, sorry !
Not sure what you mean by 'dead stars' Could you please explain ? Tx
No idea what you mean by 'old galaxy' ? Could you please explain ?
I have no idea what you mean by 'by inversion very dusty bulge'. This has no meaning in astronomical terms.
The 'jet' looks like a satellite trail to me.
The red dot is (sadly) just a foreground star from our galaxy !
But thanks for participating and happy hunting !😄
I'd call this a medium two armed (ringed) spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring. With loose spiral arms that is impossible.
Sorry, no ring for me here !
Please take a look at this (http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=6732.0) for what we really are looking for if we use overlap.
Merger for me as well !
That trail is made up of stars ! The galaxy is heavily disturbed by another galaxy.
No the star is not disturbed. The spikes and colours are all optical artifacts.
It could just as well be a merger in progress ! But anyhow, just give it your best shot !
Happy hunting !
Just one bar for me, sorry !
2/2
I do hope GZ Bars will have tons more examples of what they really want us to classify !
1/2
Tx ! I'll second that ! And that is with leaving out gravitational lenses !
I mentioned the possible confusion in the feedback form for Galaxy Bars ! Because here in GZ 'lens' means gravitational lens.
I'd love to be wrong, but for me it is too clumpy to be a voorwerpje.
It is just not 'cloudy' enough !
2/2
But without additional info (z) we cannot be sure. But just give it your best shot. If you think it is a merger, classify it as one.
1/2
The central galaxy looks slightly disturbed and the small one at 11 as well, so there could be some interaction.
Both galaxies look disturbed, so they are probably interacting .
Galaxies CANNOT merge with foreground stars from our Milky Way
The object at 10 is probably a foreground star from our galaxy, but it is impossible for it to be merging with the galaxy in the centre.
Sorry, I don't see it. Where do you see a gravitational lens in this image ?
The red glow and the diffraction spikes are optical artifacts caused by a bright foreground star from our galaxy jus toutside of this image.
The bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all just optical artifacts.
No bulge here in this either dwarf or Low Surface brightness or irregular galaxy.
Please explain what you mean by 'dead galaxies' !
Hi angelikabellinghausen
Could you please explain what you mean by 'dead stars' ? And could you point them out for me in this image ?
Just one (very beautiful) ringed galaxy here.
Or one very (very) disturbed spiral galaxy. Looks amazing though ! ;D
Don't worry ! Every image gets classified by at least 20 people. And sometimes there are no 'right' answers. Just give it your best shot !
I'd classify the central galaxy as a disturbed two-armed spiral ! ;D
There is a (very faint) galaxy in the centre of this image, but you can tag these ones with #wrong_size.
Sorry, the object to the left is indeed a foreground star so it CANNOT in any way be merging with the galaxy in the centre of the image.
I'd classify this as a disturbed spiral galaxy too !
Definitely not an elliptical ! It is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on with an amazing dust line !
Happy hunting ! ;D
Hi, here in GZ we only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps (not for foreground stars overlapping a galaxy) . Tx ! 😄
Some galaxies and a foreground star. And please remember to always classify the object in the centre of the image ! 😄
And again, here in GZ, it is not useful in any way to mention stars overlapping a galaxy.
For the umptienth time : there are no dead stars in this image.
Dear Angelika, here in GZ we only use overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. No need to mention foreground stars overlapping a galaxy.
Spiral galaxy for me as well, with a bar and two very fuzzy spiral arms.
Yep, it is a disk or spiral galaxy seen almost edge on. And I think I can see the hint of a dustlane as well !
The object in the centre is a smooth and round galaxy. Not sure what you mean by double star.
Sorry, no gravitational lens or arc in this image. The 'outer ring' are just two faint spiral arms .
The bright spots are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
Now that is an overlap if I ever saw one ! 😄
Sorry, no dust in these galaxies.
No dust whatever in this galaxy. (and no bulge either)
the blue line is probably a satellite trail . Looks amazing though ! ;D
Not sure about either !
Gorgeous chance alignment !
That is, sadly, just an artifact !
Disturbed barred spiral for me.
SDSS says galaxy, but it could just as well be a foreground star.
The yellow and blue thingies at the top are, sadly, just artifacts.
The second 'bulge' is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, just a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not a merger for me,sorry!Just a barred spiral galaxy in the centre of the image.All the small objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
What about a smooth and round galaxy ? That is how I would classify this one.
Don't think so. The two lower blue clumps are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Merger for sure ! 😄 (both galaxies are severely disturbed)
Definitely not. We are looking at other galaxies very, very far away The stars you see in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Oh my word ! What an amazing image ! This is just beyond gorgeous !
Not sure what you mean by 'dusty by inversion'. No dustlanes in this galaxy.
Overlapping stars are not interesting. There is really no need to mention these. Tx.
PLEASE, explain what you mean by clumps of dead stars ?
No disturbances in either galaxy. So, no merger for me. Maybe, an overlap.
Sorry, but I don't see any dustlanes in this galaxy.
Not sure what you mean by that ! There is probably a black hole in the centre of this image but you cannot see them.
2/2
No gravitational lenses in this image as spiral galaxies are usually not massive enough tot do any lensing.
1/2
The central galaxy is a seriously disturbed spiral galaxy.
Sorry, there is just one galaxy in the centre of the image. It's a barred fuzzy spiral with a big bulge and an inner ring.
Overlaps by a star are really not necessary to mention. Tx.
Not sure I'd call this one dusty. Even in inversion ! 😄
The object at the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. Colours, spikes and weird centre are all (sadly) just optical artifacts.
Sorry, those different colours are just optical artifacts. 😦
2/2
And most of the other small dots in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
1/2
The galaxy in the centre of the image is severely disturbed and has lots of star forming areas (the blu clumps)
With what ?
Sorry, but the bright object at 7 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
I just see one galaxy in the centre of the image. And overlaps by stars are not called overlaps in GZ.
There are some serious distortions so definitely interacting.
Please, only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. Thanks.
Or a disturbed spiral ?
I'd go for a very disturbed galaxy with an active star forming region (the blue blob).
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue line could be a satellite trail. Definitely no jets in this image.
Sorry, no lens or arc in this image. Lenses or arcs should refer to gravitational lenses and arcs.
Sorry, Angelika, but galaxies and foreground stars from our galaxy cannot merge ! They are just too far apart to be interacting.
LOL ! 😄 (btw, I think that is the first time anyone called me Ma'am. Makes me feel regal ! ;D )
The 'dark jet' is sadly just an artifact.
Okay, children ! Play nice now ! 😉
Now that is a boxy bulge if I ever saw one !
Nope ! the bright red 'halo' is just an optical artifact.
The bright spot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. And any stars that you see in these images are always foreground stars !
Hi ajrobb,
This is definitely a spiral, so it is NOT an elliptical. The 2 are mutually exclusive. Please don't use these two #'s together
@angelikabellinghausen you have been told time and time again that foreground stars from our galaxy and galaxies cannot merge.
Please explain what you mean by dead star ?
Definitely ! Nice catch !
Yep, definitely two galaxies. I don't they are interacting, so #overlap for me.
Neither, sorry. This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris project and the simulations are not powerful enough to create lenses.
Not sure this one counts as an overlap.
The pattern in the foreground star is sadly just an artifact.
Not one galaxy but two separate galaxies.
Looks like a foreground star from our galaxy to me.
The bright object to the right is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy.
No lensing for me, sorry.
Merger/disturbed : Check. Dustlane : ? I don't see one !
The bright red object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The Illustris simulated galaxies are placed on real foreground images.
Sorry, no gravitational lens in this image. Looks mor like a merger to me.
No, no,no ! The star is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot be interacting with the central galaxy.
Hi ajrobb
If you think a galaxy is a spiral it cannot be an elliptical & vice versa.Using both tags for one galaxy just doesn't make sense.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris project with star forming areas (the white dots)
See the comments below.
No, it is just one simulated galaxy from the Illustris project; And in these images the blue/white smudges mean star forming areas.
It's a very disturbed barred spiral galaxy from the Illustris data set. Meaning that it is a simulated galaxy.
Sorry, that is just an optical artifact. Just one galaxy in the centre of this image here.
Not sure about there being no interacting ! The central galaxy definiteily looks disturbed !
There are no galaxies overlapping one another in this image.
With these images, merger is a better option.
Not an overlap for me, sorry.
Not an overlap for me, sorry.
Not much overlapping going on here, sorry.
Erm, no !
Not much of an overlap for me, sorry. Beautiful #dustlane though !
Where do you see an overlap here ?
Or merger ! 😄
Nope, not happening ! Foreground stars from our galaxy CANNOT merge with galaxies.
The bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy . So it cannot be merging with the galaxy in the centre of the image.
What do you mean ?
What do you mean by clump of dead stars ?
Definitely not an elliptical.
That's a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and weird centre are all just artifacts.
Yep ! 😄
This is also a simulated galaxy from the Illustris project.
The central object is just one disturbed galaxy. It is a simulated galaxy from the illustris project.
Ooh ! Nice one indeed ! 😄
See the comments below.
Yep ! 😄
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris project and in these images blue/white smudges mean star forming areas.
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.

It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris project.
Not really an overlap ! The galaxies need to be overlapping for it to be called an overlap !
The colourful spike is an optical artifact (diffraction spike) caused by a bright star outside of this image.
This looks very much like two galaxies merging.
Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about !
Foreground stars from our galaxy and galaxies just cannot interact with each other! Do you understand the distances involved ?
The bright object, bottom left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. But the colours and spikes are just optical artifacts.
Sorry, this galaxy doesn't have a bar.
It's a simulated galaxy from Illustris. And in these images, blue/white blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy.
No idea what you are referring to !
Foreground stars from our galaxy and galaxies CANNOT merge !
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And in these images blue/white smudges mean star forming areas in the galaxy.
Why would the brighter object be further away if it appears to be in front of the galaxy? Looks like a star forming area in the galaxy to me
The Illustris software messed up. Just classify it as star/artifact.
Definitely not an elliptical ! It is very clear that this is a barred two armed spiral.
The small object in the top right corner is probably another galaxy. Could be a disturbed edge on
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris project. Blue dots/smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy
Just one galaxy here, sorry.
What do you mean by 'clumps of dead stars' ?
The red line is not a jet but a satellite trail.
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy so it cannot in any way be interacting with the galaxy.
The small white object is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it CANNOT in anyway be interacting with the central galaxy.
Angelika : What do you mean by 'dead stars ' ?????
Or a disturbed spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on.
The bright object at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy.

The blue 'balls' are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Not bulges but star forming areas in this simulated galaxy from Illustris.
The orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Which bits would that be ?
And the elongated bulge is actually a bar.
No problem ! We were all newbies once ! 😄
And, please, keep the questions coming !
The orange object at 9 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. Definitely no merger here.
The white object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy, so there is no way that it can be interacting with the central galaxy.
The red object to the right is just a foreground star from our galaxy. Nothing exploding in this image ! 😄
The central object could be a disturbed spiral. The object at 4 o'clock could be another galaxy.
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset and in these images blued smudges mean star forming areas.
The curved one ? That would be a disturbed spiral arm.
Nice chance alignment ! 😄
A disturbed spiral with a dominant bulge for me.
Where ?
The blue smudges in these simulated galaxies from Illustris mean star forming areas in the galaxy.
Another simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
Sorry, not a merger but just one simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
Galaxies and foreground stars from our galaxy cannot in any way interact.
Galaxies CANNOT merge with foreground stars from our galaxy !
What do you mean by 'clump of dead stars' ?
Not a jet but an artifact .
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset.
The bright object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
definitely not an edge on. It is a barred spiral with an inner ring seen face on.
It is a possibility ! 😄
I'd go for definitely a (two-armed) spiral. But hey, that is just me ! 😉
No worries. See here https://tinyurl.com/y8muecct for more info and scroll down to 1.9
So, I'd classify this as a disturbed spiral. Definitely not an irregular galaxy.
I wouldn't have used the # irregular here. It is definitely a spiral (maybe disturbed, but not really).
Okay, this stops here, both galaxies look disturbed, so definitely a merger.
This is a simulated galaxy from Illustris and the 'square' bulge is just an artifact.
No merging with clumps of dead stars, sorry. This is a disturbed barred spiral.
Sorry, no 'big dead stars' in this image. Those 'shadows are just artifacts.

Nope, definitely not ! The star is a foreground star from our galaxy and the central galaxy is very, very far away.
The red glare and the spike are artifacts caused by a bright foreground star from our galaxy.
Which object are you talking about ?
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue/white dots are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Not so much an irregular as a heavily disturbed (possibly a spiral) galaxy.
I don't think the edge on at the top is in any way interacting with the central galaxy. Looks just like a line of sight.
Nope, not a supernova remnant/planetary nebula, but a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
If they are merging they cannot be overlapping and vice versa ! 😄
Where ?
2/2
So there is now way possible for them to interact with the very far away galaxies !
1/2
You do realize that the stars we see in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.?
The Illustris simulation algorithm got a bit carried away (or was just lazy ! 😉 ). Just classify as star/artifact.
If you think these are interacting, you could classify it as a merger!
Happy hunting ! 😄

Beautiful very disturbed galaxy. Could be the result of a fly -y or the late stages of a merger.
Not sure I'd classify this one as dusty !
What about a barred two armed spiral (maybe an inner ring). And the red dots are all foreground stars from our galaxy. !
Happy hunting !😄
This is an image from Illustris (ie simulated galaxies). Obviously something went wrong, so just classify this one as star/artifact.
Not a merger but a simulated galaxy from Illustris. The blueish ring means star forming area in the galaxy.
What about a merger or else a very (very! ) disturbed galaxy.
If you classify it as an elliptical (ie smooth) there shouldn't be an inner ring or a bar (these are features).
If you classify it as an elliptical (ie smooth), it cannot have a bar.
You could call this a disturbed barred galaxy, but you could just as well go for irregular. Just answer the questions as well as you can.

The two blue clumps at 11 are star forming areas in the galaxy.

This is a two armed spiral seen nearly edge on. So the "indentation" is the curve of the lower arm.
Fuzzy galaxy. There isn't really much else to say about it. 😉
The 3 small and bright dots in this image are stars from our own galaxy.
Yep, edge on for me too !

Definitely not an overlap ! Gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Ys it is an artifact. It's a diffraction spike caused by a bright star outside of the image.

The central galaxy is certainly disturbed, but I do not think the top one is the culprit.They do have some different photoz's !
Both galaxies look disturbed, so I'd go for merger here !
The central object is most definitely a galaxy. You could classify it as a very disturbed spiral , but irregular is also a possibility!
I'd also go for foreground star. Nice catch @CeciliaB
Neither ! It is probably a very disturbed spiral with an inner ring. Looks gorgeous though! 😄
Neither ! The bright object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy. So , I'd classify this one as a disturbed spiral.
Sorry, there is no gravitational lens in this image. It is just a very disturbed spiral galaxy.
Loose two-armed barred spiral for me too ! 😄
Not sure what you are referring to?
Any stars you see in these images are from our own galaxy, so they cannot be interacting with the central galaxies.
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The yellow one is the bulge of a very faint disturbed (spiral ? ) galaxy.
The foreground star from our galaxy cannot in anyway be interacting with the central galaxy.
The blue star is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. So it cannot be interacting with the central galaxy.
The blue line could be a satellite trail.
Please only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/ galaxy overlaps; Tx .
Definitely not a lensed galaxy as these Illustris images cannot simulate lenses.
It could be a bar in this simulated galaxy from Illustris.
Bar for me.
See the comments below: The blue or white smudges in these simulated galaxies are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The blue dots in these simulated galaxies from Illustris are star forming areas in the galaxy.

Foreground stars from our galaxy and background galaxies just cannot merge/crash/interact in any way possible !
Sorry, but if the central object is a foreground star from our galaxy it is just not possible that it is merging with the galaxy at the top.
Not sure what you mean by 'magnet field visible' ?
There is no way possible that a foreground star could be merging with the central galaxy as they are very (very ! ) far apart
Not sure these two galaxies are merging. Neither of them looks disturbed.

Yep ! You can see this when it says 'Illustris' on the classifying page or here on Talk.
If you cannot see a dust lane in the 'normal' view, there is no dust lane at all.
Why only dusty by inversion ? Just a two armed spiral for me, sorry.
This is a simulated galaxy from Illustris, and in these simulated galaxies blue/white dots are star forming areas in the galaxy.
This is a simulated galaxy from Illiustris and they superimpose their sims on SDSS backgrounds. So I'm thinking this is just a coincidence.
See the comments below ! 😄
There is a faint and fuzzy galaxy in the centre of the image, but clicking star/artifact is perfectly acceptable in these cases

Now that is an amazing artifact ! 😄 And it is probably caused by that bright star : https://tinyurl.com/y8wmfuos
Nice catch ! Without the z's I would've gone for foreground star ! 😄
The central object is a disturbed, barred spiral with lots of star forming areas (the blue clumps). Nice pic ! 😄
Merger is a possibility as the large galaxy does look disturbed.
The red spot is foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot collide with the central galaxy.
The spiky object to the left is not a supernova but a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are optical artifacts.
2/2
But please, always classify the object in the centre of the image, even if it is the more boring one. 😄

The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
That bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts.
The smaller galaxy could be in the foreground or background. And the central galaxy doesn't look that disturbed. No merger for me.
Both of the galaxies in this image are sims. It could still be a simulated merger.
I don't think the galaxy to the left is interacting with the central one. No merger here for me.
Not a dust cloud but a real galaxy with billions and billions of stars.
2/2
So there is no way that they can be merging with any galaxy in these images.
1/2
Not sure what you mean by thus. The stars we see in these images are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Sorry, no gravitational lens in this image.
Just WOW ! 😄
Not sure what you are trying to say ?
Mergers always look strange ! ;D But, here, both galaxies look disturbed, so merger is definitely a possibility.
Yep ! And even though they are simulated, your classifications of them are incredibly valuable !
Happy hunting ! 😄
No, some of the images that we are asked to classify are simulated galaxies (more here : https://tinyurl.com/z8k7s42)
You can mark these in Talk with #wrong_size. You can classify these as star/artifact.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set and these 'square' galaxies are not that uncommon.
Sorry, not a supernova but a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And somehow they produce quite a lot of these 'rings'.
Just give it your best shot and that is all we ask from you ! 😄
The star (top left) is a foreground star from our galaxy, so there is no way that it can influence the galaxy that is soo much farther away.
Or a disturbed tow-armed spiral.
It just looks red. Could be because of dust in the galaxy.
It's an sim from Illustris & these simulations are not capable of producing gravitational lenses. What about a very disturbed barred spiral?
Yep ! 😄 Both galaxies are clearly interacting, so definitely #merger for me.
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
The blue or white spots are star forming areas in the galaxy.
It could be two galaxies merging or it could be two galaxies overlapping. Just give it your best shot !
Happy hunting ! 😄
Looks like a artifact to me, sorry !
The yellow object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy,so there is no interaction whatsoever possible between it &the central galaxy.
Try looking at it as a barred spiral galaxy with two arms that fold all the way back to form a ring.
Those 'jets' are just artifacts. So they are not real !
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set . See here : https://tinyurl.com/z8k7s42
Sorry, I don't see it.
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset. Blue/white smudges signify star forming areas in the galaxy.
Some of the blue blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy, others are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Both galaxies look distorted so maybe they are interacting.
The image is very fuzzy, so merger and overlap are possible. Just classify what you see and that will be very valuable.
The blue smudge at 7 o'clock could be a star forming area in the galaxy.
Definitely not an overlap ! 😄
The bright object to the left is actually a foreground star from our galaxy.
See the comments below : Optical artifacts and filter misalignments.
My pleasure ! Hope you are having fun here ! 😄
2/2
You could make a case both for overlap and for merger. You classify it as you see it..
Happy hunting ! 😄
1/2
That is really difficult to tell as they both look a bit fuzzy so no obvious signs of distortions. And there are no redshifts available
Not smooth at all.
Another simulated galaxy. from Illustris.
And in these images blue/white smudges signify active star forming regions in the galaxy.
3/3
But you should just answer the questions. Classify it as you see it.
Happy hunting !

As for the classification : I'd go for features- not an edge on - no bar - no spiral - no bulge - anything odd : ring and disturbed.

This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. More info on Illustris here : https://tinyurl.com/z8k7s42
This one looks a bit like an Illustris sim ! 😄
Oh wow ! What an amazing #merger ! 😄
Sorry, not a nova. The bright blue /green object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Truly amazing !
Happy hunting ! 😄
Not sure I'd classify this one as a barred galaxy. It could be a merger but not sure . Anyway, just classify what you see !
Beautiful ! Aren't we the privileged ones to get to see these images !
Happy hunting ! 😄

or if they are in the foreground/background.

Without additional information (redshift) it is impossible to determine of these galaxies are close to the central galaxy, ...
Nope, most of the objects in this image look very red. This just means that there were some filter problems.
Without additional information, it is impossible to tell if the two smaller galaxies are actually close to the central galaxy.
You could classify it either way (merger or no merger). I'd personally would go for no merger, but hey, that is just me ! 😄
happy hunting
The object (bottom left) is another galaxy, but without extra info (redshift) it's impossible to say if it's in the foreground or background
That red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Blue and white smudges in these simulated galaxies from Illustris are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Probably a merger, not an overlap.
Definitely an edge on spiral or disk galaxy. Good call ! 😄
Just 1 galaxy here.It's a simulated galaxy from the Illiustris set & in these images blue/white blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Good call Alex ! 😄
And after looking at the SDSS image I'm still going for the star forming area ! 😄
Without looking at the extra information, I'm going for star forming area in the galaxy.
The blue smudges in these simulated galaxies from Illustris mean star forming areas in the galaxy.
Neither of the galaxies look very disturbed, so I don't think they are interacting. No merger for me.
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue/white smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The orange dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sadly, no ! This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue/white smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The bright object bottom left is another galaxy. See here : https://tinyurl.com/yd9uzrff (zoomed out view SDSS)
Merger for me too !
The green sphere is a foreground star from our galaxy.
This is a simulated gaalxy from the Illustris data set. The blue and white smudges in thes images are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The yellow object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. In these images blue/white blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The two bright colourful objects are both foreground stars from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
Not a dust cloud, but a real galaxy with millions of stars.
Nope the faint white stripe is not coming out of anything; It is an edge on galaxy. Could be foreground, could be background.
Could be a merger ! The central galaxy does look disturbed. It is your choice ! Just go for it ! 😄
Nope, not a gas cloud, ut a real galaxy. I'd go for either a very disturbed spiral galaxy or an irregular. it is your choice ! 😄
Is there a question here ?
So, what is your remark ?
You do need to have something following the # ! Even if it is something completely useless !
Where ?
Why do you ask for a reference? Here in GZ people are asked to classify what they see, not what they have a reference for.
Just classify what you see ! For me personally, it's just one galaxy. But hey, that is just me. 😄
Happy hunting !
The object at 1 o'clock is probably another galaxy.
Sorry, it is neither. This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The white/blue blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Something obviously went wrong ! 😄 Just click star/artifact.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue/white blobs are sar forming areas in the galaxy.
The blue and yellow dots are star forming areas in this simulated galaxy from Illustris.
This is an image from the Illustris dataset of simulated galaxies. But obviously something went wrong here. Just click star/artifact.
Just by looking at this image I would've thought that the small white one is a star. But apparently it is also a galaxy.
The bright red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
It's definitely two galaxies. And always classify the object in the centre of the image.
Happy hunting ! 😄
That is just a foreground star from our galaxy. Looks amazing though ! 😄
The bright red object?Yes,that's a foreground star from our galaxy.But the object you are supposed to classify is(always)the central objetct
Not really. The two bright orange objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. The central galaxy does look disturbed though ! ;D
Don't think so. The 'lens' is much too far from the lensing galaxy.
The round object is not a foreground star (it has a z of .036), so it is probably part of the galaxy; Weird configuration !
Could be a merger. Both galaxies look disturbed.

This is actually a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And they sometimes produce 'strange' looking galaxies.
I'd classify this one as smooth and round.
Looks like a disturbed spiral galaxy to me.
Thank you for your explanation. But I don't think anyone (apart from you) understood this abbreviation.
Could you please explain *fing ? It looks as if you are masking a swear word. If I do not get an answer these posts will be removed. Tx.
Both galaxies look distorted, so definitely a merger.
With these kind of distortions it is most definitely a merger !
My classification would be a merger with a lot of dust lanes ! And what a gorgeous one at that ! ;D
No, but you could just explain what you mean by these abbreviations ! Tx.
No idea either. Just take no notice ! 😄
The bright object (top left) is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts.
The small round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be two galaxies merging as there seems to be two centres.
SDSS
And lots of galaxies do not have a central bulge.
The blue/white bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, no dustlane in this one for me.
Not sure about a dustlane.
You could classify this as a fuzzy barred spiral. The blue/white features in these simulated galaxies from Illustris mean star forming areas
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Happy hunting! 😄
Could be two galaxies merging.

The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy, but the colours, spikes and the green cloud/spike are just optical artifacts! 😄
Yep, this is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this image (https://tinyurl.com/yaflks7q)
The bright object (bottom right quadrant) is a foreground star from our galaxy. Colours,spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts.
@neoncoolguy:Sorry, the star is a foreground star from our galaxy,so there is NO way that this star can be merging with the central galaxy
Not every sim is a bad sim !
Please take note that this particularly hashtag has no influence on the classifications !
No,this is just one galaxy.It is a simulated one from the Illustris data set. And in these images blue/white smudges mean star forming areas
Hi CeciliaB : You are right. This is indeed a fairly good sim of a polar ring galaxy.
@zoob1172 : This one looks like a very realistic barred spiral galaxy.
I agree there are others that do not look very realistic.
The 'purple' object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. But the colours, spikes and weird centre are all just optical artifacts.
The blue/white smudges in these simulated galaxies from the Illustris data set are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The blue smudges in these simulated galaxies from the Illustris data set are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Correct. The object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not an elliptical but a simulated disk galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue blobs are star forming areas in the galaxy.
Yep, it is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
The bright red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Probably two ellipticals merging ! 😄
The blue blobs in this simulated image are star forming areas in the galaxy.
@958bacsal : There is no gravitational lensing in this image.
See the comments below : The object to the left of the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Don't classify by the colours, but by the features that you see ! And I would go for a disturbed (maybe barred), spiral as well ! 😄
The central galaxy is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. & these simulations are not capable of producing gravitational lenses
Edge on with a big bulge for me.
I'd go for disturbed barred spiral.
Actually it is clearer in the Skyserver image. Anyway, just give it your best shot ! We can only classify what we see ! 😉
I don't think this is an arc because the central galaxy is a fuzzy spiral galaxy and they usually are not massive enough to do any lensing.
Both galaxies look disturbed, so merger is very likely.
No gravitational lensing in this image. It is a heavily disturbed spiral galaxy.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset. The blue clumps are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The backgrounds are not simulations ! So, all of the Illustris images are hybrid images ! So what !!
Yep ! It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. Just classify what you see !
Sigh! The central galaxy from the Illustris dataset is a sim. & it is placed into a real background to make it more realistic. Nothing new
Sorry, that is not true. Only the central galaxy is a simulated galaxy and it gets positioned on a real background ! 😄
Yep,a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. & they do tend to produce a lot of weird ring(ed) galaxies. Just give it your best shot?
Just one disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on for me.
Sorry, no gravitational lensing in this image. It is a ringed barred spiral galaxy.
The central galaxy doesn't look disturbed, so no merger for me. And besides, the bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
I'd classify this one as a disturbed two armed spiral with a large bulge.
It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. I'd classify it as a spiral galaxy with a dominant bulge.
This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. For some reason they do produce quite a number of ring(ed) galaxies.
I'd classify it as a disturbed lenticular (disk) galaxy with a dominant bulge and maybe a tiny bar.
That 'jet' is a satellite trail. Because the satellite moves so fast it just gets imaged in one filter.
Sorry, but the central object is most definitely a galaxy !
If I recall correctly it is not possible to simulate gravitational lenses in Illustris.
There is a tiny galaxy in the centre of this image.
#wrong_size
Nothing exploded at 6 o'clock. Looks like another galaxy overlapping the central galaxy.
Not sure I'd call this one an elliptical. I'd go for a gorgeous disk galaxy.
Not sure if I would classify this one as an an elliptical. Looks like there is a bar there ! 😄
Could you pls explain what you mean with your rather cryptic messages , Tx !
Hi Ine, which object do you think is the other bright galaxy with strange colours ?
Where is that other very bright galaxy with strange colours ?
A simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And they do produce quite a lot of these weird 'ring'-like structures.
It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset (https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2015/09/21/new-images-for-galaxy-zoo-part-2-illustris/)
All of the red blobs in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy ! ;D
Blue/white dots in these simulated galaxies signify star forming areas in the galaxy.
Two stars and a galaxy. Nice chance alignment ! 😄
Yep ! I'd classify this one as a disturbed barred spiral
You can definitely classify it as an irregular. But you can also classify this one as a slightly disturbed disk or spiral seen edge on.
Not sure what you mean. The bright white dot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The bluish patches are very active star forming areas
Nothing to classify here ! Just click star/artifact and move on to the next one.
Happy hunting !😄
The pink ribbon is just an optical artifact ! 😄
It's not a nebula but a faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Hi adriano.zallo,
If you squint a bit you can see a bar and two fuzzy spiral arms. So not an elliptical.

The central object is a disturbed barred spiral.
The green line is part of a satellite trail.
Those bright blue blobs are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
Could be an optical artifact as well ! ;D
And in these Illustris images, pale blue means star forming areas in the galaxy.
It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And somehow they produce quite a number of these rings !
Not a nebula, but a real galaxy ! . But a really faint and fuzzy one at that ! 😄
Yep ! Just classify this as star/artifact.

Not sure what you mean by loose, but this is definitely not a loose armed spiral.
Unfortunately, it is just part of a satellite trail ! 😉

You are correct. he small smooth round one is in the centre of the image. But I'm certain that most people will classify the odd one.
No gravitational lens here. This is a simulated galaxy and I'd classify it as a disturbed spiral with a big bulge.
See the comments below : Most of the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
I'd classify it as a disk or spiral seen edge on, seriously disturbed with two star forming areas ( the two blue dots).
Lovely image ! 😄
😃 ! It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. And somehow they do produce a lto of these 'ringed' galaxies.
The white dot a 3 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. The greenish blue dots are star forming areas in the galaxy.

Oh yes ! 😄 ! Nice catch !
Nope ! The central object is a real galaxy! I'd classify it as an irregular with a very active star forming region (the blue blob).
The blue clouds are star forming areas in the galaxy.
It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset. Somehow they produce quite a lot of these rings. And blue means star forming areas
The object in the centre of the image is a fuzzy galaxy.

I'd go for features - edge on - something odd : dustlane and other. And tag it here in Talk ! 😄 Happy hunting ! 😄
The galaxy in the centre and the galaxy in the bottom right corner do look indeed to be interacting !
Nope, just a fuzzy and disturbed galaxy or otherwise an irregular one ! It is your call !
You should classify the object in the centre(?) but in this case Illustris just created an almost non existing galaxy. Star /artifact for me
Yep, zoob1172 is right. The green/red/blue object is an asteroid ! 😄
I suppose you are talking about the green dots at 9 o'clock ? They are sadly just artifacts.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset. I'd classify it a s a disk - no spiral arms.
Yep ! A misalignment of the filters. Looks amazing though ! 😉
These disturbances could be the result of a fly-by !

The bright object in the lower right hand corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are just optical artifacts.
Again , I wouldn't call this one smooth.
I wouldn't call tis one an elliptical. It has so many features !
With these fuzzy galaxies it is not easy to see if they are distorted, but merger is certainly a possibility.
The blue areas are star forming regions in this galaxy.
Not sure ! All three galaxies have different photo z's, but photo's can be very unreliable. Not sure this is a group !
Although the galaxy to the left looks disturbed I don't think these two are interacting, so no merger for me.
Sorry,there is no gravitational lens in this image. & the bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy. So no merger either.
It could still be a simulation of two edge on galaxies interacting !
And yes ! Just a very funny coincidence ! Remember the universe is veryyy large ! ;D
Two elliptical galaxies interacting. Nice merger ! 😄
The bright white dot at 10 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue blobs in these Illustris (simulated) galaxies are star forming areas in the galaxies.
Yes, most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Yes, this is definitely a galaxy. I'd probably would go for smooth and in between.
I'd go for an amazing (simulated) merger ! 😄
And this is one of the most realistic mergers I've seen from the Illustris dataset !
Or it could be a lenticular galaxy (ie a disk galaxy without spiral arms)
The red line is a satellite trail.
In this case you can safely click star/artifact ! 😄
The white blob is indeed a star but it is a foreground star from our galaxy
Yes, it's is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set & they do seem to produce quite a lot of these rings! No one knows why right now
The central object is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
The red object is indeed a star, but it can never be behind the galaxy. It is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The yellow spike is an optical artifact caused by a bright star outside of this image. And I do hope you classified the 'boring' galaxy ? ;D
Sorry,no merging going on here whatsoever. The object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. Distorted objects=possible merger.
Definitely no voorwerpjes here. You need these very bright colours for one !
If that is a bright star it is a star from our galaxy and it cannot in any way have any influence on the central galaxy
Yep ! Nice catch ! 😄
You can tag these ones with #wrong_size
If you classify a galaxy as cigar shaped (ie smooth) you cannot classify it as having a ring or a bulge. Smooth means no features whatsoever
That is defiinitely an option !
Don't think so! Sorry. It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
That is sadly just an optical artifact. But it does look amazing ! 😄
But this pic looks amazing anyhow ! 😄
Not sure what you are asking, sorry ?
This is a beautiful example of two galaxies interacting/merging !
The bright blobs in the centre are the central cores of the two galaxies.
Not sure about the dustlane, but what a nice merger ! 😄
That 'ray' is a diffraction spike (an optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this picture.

I'd go for a slightly disturbed edge on. But you are right, this galaxy is too small to classify ! Tag these as #wrong_size
Both of the galaxies do not show any kinds of disturbances , so no merger for me here ! 😄
A fuzzy and disturbed barred galaxy
The bright object top left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, no supernovae here. Just two foreground stars from our galaxy.
Correct ! The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy !
Gorgeous merger for me ! 😄
Eeps ! The red glow and the green stripe are just optical artifacts caused by a bright star just outside of this image !
The bright areas are active star forming regions in this simulated Illustris image !
The white and the yellow objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. The blue one in the middle is a fuzzy galaxy. Smooth and round for me
Looks like two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger.
That is also an optical artifact caused by the bright star.
Yep, could be. This looks like a seriously disturbed galaxy !
You can tag these images with #wrong_size.
Nope, sorry ! This is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue regions are active star forming areas in this galaxy.
Irregular is definitely an option. Or you could go with disturbed barred spiral. Just answer the questions as well as you can !
Yep, definitely a galaxy. It is from the Illustris dataset.
It could be a satellite trail or a diffraction spike caused by a bright star outside of this image.
The bright yellow object to the left o f the central galaxy (which you are supposed to classify) is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Just one disturbed galaxy for me.
Sorry, there is no gravitational lens in this image.
The object top right is another galaxy. But it looks really bright in this image.
Foreground star from our galaxy, sorry !
Definitely no lensing in this image ! 😄 Happy hunting anyway! 😄
Those blue dots signify star forming areas in this galaxy.
The bright object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot be interacting with the spiral. But it's a lovely image !
Ooh ! Really gorgeous one ! 😄
Oops ! 😄 Just click star/artifact and move on to the next one ! And hope that one will be a stunner ! 😄
If the satellite is not very reflective, this could still be one. And why do you need a bright foreground star ?
The green line is indeed a satellite trail.
The pale blue dots are starforming areas in this simulated galaxy.
The wo red dots are foreground stars from our galaxy. No gravitational lensing in this image, sorry.
The bright object at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy. So definitely no merger here.
You could classify this one as a disturbed spiral galaxy !
Yep, that could be a spiral seen edge on!
The backgrounds/foregrounds superimposed on these images are real ones to make these images more inline with the real images.
The bright object at 10 o'clock from the centre is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
You could go for a very disturbed spiral or else for an irregular.
2 spirals and a smooth one ! 😄
It is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset.
See here : http://tinyurl.com/z8k7s42
Eeps, the simulated galaxy from Illustris has disappeared ! 😄
Just classify as star/artifact !
Nope,it is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset. And in these images we get rings (fairly often) with star forming areas(blue dots)
It's a disturbed (spiral ?) galaxy. So this galaxy has been interacting with another galaxy that has bent it out of shape !
It is definitely a galaxy. You could go for irregular or else for a disturbed edge on.
It's a very fuzzy and disturbed galaxy.
The blue smudge is a star forming area in this simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
Correct. The object in the centre of the image is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
No lensing here, sorry. The blue patches are indeed star forming areas in the galaxy.
I don't think that is a star. Could be a star forming area in the galaxy.
I wouldn't go for a cigar shape but for a disturbed, barred disk. And the star is just a foreground star from our galaxy.
I would say yes ! I see a fuzzy two-armed spiral with a dominant bulge. But hey, that is just me !
LOL ! Actually, the green line is a satellite trail ! 😉
The small blue object is no a star but another galaxy. The yellow one is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Just click star/artifact and go to the next image! And that will be a stunner ! (hopefully! )
According to Skyserver it is a foreground star from our galaxy.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set and there have been some odd rings in there ! 😄

But anyway, a smaller object is not massive enough to 'suck in ' a more massive one.

The dot on the right could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
Merger is definitely a possibility. But this image is just too fuzzy to tell for sure.
Welcome to the Zoo !
The yellow dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Happy hunting ! 😄
This one will have so many conflicting classifications ! The scientists will surely have a second look !
Here in GZ we only use overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. So, no overlap here.
Yes, this is probably two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger.
The blue smudges in these simulated galaxies from the Illustris data set are meant to be star forming areas.
😄
Barred disk for me. 😃
Just give it your best guess ! 😄
The image is too fuzzy to tell for sure. But if you think they are merging you should classify it as such.
You could classify it as a barred disk galaxy with a ring of starforming areas.
All the stars in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy. So, they do not need to be included in the classification
The black spot is sadly just an artifact.
The orange/red spiky thing is a bright foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are just optical artifacts.
No, this is not a gas cloud but a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
Wow ! Lovely disturbed barred spiral with lots of star forming areas ! 😄
The blue smudges in these simulated galaxies from the Illustris data set mean active star forming regions in the galaxy.
Looks like a very (very !) disturbed spiral galaxy with an amazing dustlane ! 😄 (No cloud in this image, sorry)
Gorgeous disturbed barred(spiral?)galaxy with lots of star forming areas (the blue smudges).& it's a sim galaxy from the Illustris data set
Don't worry, lots of people will get this same image to classify, so any oopsies will get ironed out !
Happy hunting ! 😄
Both galaxies look disturbed, so #merger for me ! 😄
See the comments below ! 😄
😄 Yes, there is a difference in pronunciation. And the Belgian Dutch 'r' sounds slightly softer than the Dutch one ! 😄
😄 ;D
😉 I'm from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium ! 😄 LOL
A voorwerpje ! 😉 (it's the diminutive of Voorwerp ). And I wasn't talking about the size or anything, just the colour.
Couldn't hurt at all ! (But the voorwerpjes have these 'in your face colours ! 😉 )
Aww ! Let's nominate this one for next year's Valentine ! 😄
I'd classify the central galaxy as a disturbed barred spiral.
You could think that both galaxies looks slightly disturbed, so merger is still a possibility.
Somehow, I missed the dust reference ! Maybe you are mistaking the spiral arms for dust lanes ?
With lots of features, I wouldn't classify this one as an elliptical (smooth).
I would say two arms, but if you think you see 3, you should mark it as such.
Just give it your best shot ! 😄
Those two blue blobs are not individual stars but star forming areas in the galaxy !
You can tag these with #wrong_size ! Tx !
The blue smudges are star forming areas in this simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set.
Possible satellite trail. The object you are supposed to classify is the fuzzy galaxy in the centre. But here you can click star/artifact.
Probably not ! The yellow object at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy and neither of the galaxies look disturbed ! 😄
Definitely ! 😄
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The white object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The very bright object (top right) is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
Barred spiral for me too !
Not sure if there is an elliptical in this image (but that is just me ! 😄 )
Yep ! Definitely a galaxy ! 😄
The one in the centre is a galaxy and the one to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. Hope this helps ! 😄
It could just as well be a very disturbed lenticular (= disk) galaxy.
LOL ! 😄 It does look a bit like the Enterprise !
Not sure if I'd go with elliptical for this. Way too many features !
It probably is ! 😄
Looks more like two galaxies interacting !
The blue dot is probably an active star forming area in the galaxy.
The blue clumps are star forming areas in these simulated galaxies.
Yep ! In these simulated Illustris images pale blue means star forming areas in the galaxy.
A disk galaxy without spiral arms is called a lenticular galaxy. And this one is a beauty ! 😄
I'd go for disturbed, barred spiral with a bit of star forming going on (the blue clumps)
2/2
See this one : https://tinyurl.com/zqyyjb3 ! 😄

Although this is a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset, some real galaxies have been known to look quite rectangular
The red glow and the spike are optical artifacts cause by a bright foreground star from our galaxy just outside of the image.
Sorry, not a voorwerp but a real galaxy with lots of star formation going on (the blue clumps).
Looks like spiral arms to me !
The red line is a satellite trail.
Gorgeous ! 😄
Both galaxies look disturbed so merger is a very obvious classification.
I wouldn't call that a dustlane, sorry. Dustlanes in these images tend to be brown.
The bright white object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue dots are star forming areas in this simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set (https://tinyurl.com/z8k7s42)

That bright spot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Correct ! The yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Absolutely gorgeous !
Thankfully no ! That is just a bright star from our galaxy! 😄
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy that is just getting in the way ! ;D
Not sure I'd go for a ring here as it is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
Sorry, not as far as I know .
Yes, it is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The red spiky thing is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. But don't foget to classify the galaxy in the centre of the image ! 😄

Definitely not a smooth one ! Way too many features !
If it has pointy ends, it is probably a disk or spiral seen edge on (and not a smooth - cigar shaped galaxy), Sorry !
If you see a bulge and double clumps, these would qualify as features, so definitely not a smooth one !
The yellow line is anoptical artifact caused by the bright star top right.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. See here for more info : https://tinyurl.com/z8k7s42

The two toned/coloured thingies are most likely optical artifacts. I'd classify this one as smooth and round !
Yep ! Nice dustlane !
Yes, the blue dot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
The yellow/orange line is probably a satellite trail.
The galaxy in the image is a disturbed barred spiral.
That is just an optical artifact !
The bright white object to the left is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
If it is weird, it will get the attention of the scientists ! Just give it your best shot !
Happy hunting ! 😄
So, how did you classify this one ? 😄
It's a very fuzzy and disturbed (spiral ?) galaxy. Or you could go for an irregular.
The blue dots are probably very active star forming regions in the galaxy.
You could classify the central object as a smooth - in between-galaxy.
Where ?
The bright dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nope, this is a real galaxy with millions and millions of stars !
Or it could just be a line of sight. Just by looking at this image it is not possible to tell if these two stars (top left corner) are close
Not sure I'd call this a dust lane. I'd go for a very disturbed one armed spiral (with a very big bulge ! )
Nope, just a very (very!) fuzzy galaxy ! 😄
Nope, no merger here possible ! The top left object is a foreground star from our galaxy !
Happy hunting !
With these fuzzy smooth ones it is not always easy to tell, but merger is definitely a possibility ! 😄
The bright orange object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
If you see spiral arms then a spiral galaxy is the correct classification ! 😄
Correct, the central object is a foreground star from our galaxy. Sometimes the software gets confused ! 😉
Two-armed barred spiral : check. But the bright dot is probably just a foreground star from our galaxy, not a supernoa.
Without additional information and because neither of the galaxies is deformed/disturbed I'm thinking #overlap !
Very disturbed (loose) two-armed spiral galaxy with a gorgeous dustlane would be my classification ! 😄
Looks like a two armed spiral to me !
Fuzzy and disturbed spiral for me.
With these smooth ones it is always difficult to tell, but merger is still a possibility.
Oui ! 😄

Unfortunately, in this image, it looks like the foreground star is in the centre of the image.
The green object is a foreground star from our galaxy (and so is the orange smaller one ! )
The bright blue blob is possibly a very active star forming region in the galaxy.
No, there is no gravitational lens in this image. It's just a chance alignment.
There is no gravitational lens in this image, sorry.
It's a ring galaxy. See the discussion in 'Help' (to the right)
No, this is not a planetary nebula but a real galaxy. Two-armed or three-armed spiral ?
The yellow object is a foreground str from our galaxy.
The blue dot could be either a foreground star from our galaxy or an active star forming region in the galaxy.
Just classify this as star/artifact.
The coloured line is probably a satellite trail
Oh wow! Let's call it the scorpion galaxy ! 😉

The galaxy behind it could be a disturbed spiral galaxy.
Unfortunately the central object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The software does get confused sometimes ! 😄
No and no ! The smaller round object is a foreground star so no merger possible and definitely no gravitationally arc !
The bright red object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and the weird green glow are all just optical artifacts.
Don't worry about your English , we'll get to understand each other quite well ! Just keep posting your questions here and have fun ! 😄
Not sure what you are asking, sorry ! You could classify this one as an edge on with a bulge or even a fuzzy spiral. It is your call !
Lots of star formation going on in this galaxy ! 😄
First of all : always classify the object in the centre of the image and from there just answer the questions as well as you can ! 😄
Oh dear! Don't you start ! 😉
Everyone else, please keep posting questions ! 😄
I'm no going to answer any of your questions anymore since you are not reading the answers we post.
Not a nebula but a real galaxy. The blue dots are star forming areas in the galaxy.

As it says on the classifying page : always classify the object in the centre of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! )
And the bright object at the top is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy ! 😄
Correct ! The central object is an edge disk or spiral galaxy sen edge, with a bulge !
The bright orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy (and I suppose that is what you are asking about ! 😉 )
The bright (yellow/orange) object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.

If you see 3 arms, you should mark it as such ! And yes, the spiky, bright object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and the yellow line are all just optical artifacts.
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy. There is no gravitational lens in this image.
If you classify it as an elliptical galaxy (smooth)it cannot have all these features.If you think it has features it cannot be an elliptical

The yellow round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Two galaxies in Skyserver for me as well and definitely in this GAMA-KiDS image.
The central object is definitely a galaxy!
Some of the small dots are active star forming areas in the galaxy, others could be foreground stars from our galaxy.
But how did you classify the central galaxy ? 😄
Not a nebula, but a ferengified image of a galaxy. See here for more : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
For me it is just one very (very ! ) disturbed galaxy.
That is possibility ! ! But be sure to always classify the object in the centre of the image ! 😄
It's a seriously disturbed galaxy! Looks amazing though ! 😄
Yep ! Star for me too !
The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy !
Sorry, no boxy bulge in this image for me !
Here in GZ, we only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. So, this foreground star overlapping a galaxy is not an overlap.
Where ?
The 3 bright objects in this image are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
A very fuzzy disturbed barred spiral galaxy (maybe ?) 😉
A very faint & fuzzy galaxy. You could go for a very disturbed (barred ?) spiral or you could go for irregular. It is up to you ! 😄
Just classify this image as star/artifact ! It is an extremely ferengified image.
The object to the right could be a foreground star from our galaxy.So,no merger for me here ! (sorry)
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors,spikes and weird centre are just optical artifacts !
The bright object, bottom left, is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and and colorful spikes are just optical artifacts.
And, I agree, the bright object at 10 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Please, only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps !

That is what you got from the Skyserver site ! But how did you classify this image ! 😉
That is certainly a possibility. But what a fuzzy image ! 😄
I have no idea what you mean by your orientation acronyms. Maybe you could just use eg 4 o'clock or something like that.
Too fuzzy to tell ! Star/artifact is the best classification for these extreme pixellated images.
This us an artificially redshifted image of this galaxy (https://tinyurl.com/hy2px73). no concentric rings but faint and fuzzy spiral arms.
Yep ! That is a very good description of this galaxy ! 😄
See the comments below ! The orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy.m
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is definitely NOT interacting with thte central gaalxy.
Just click star/artifact in these cases ! 😄

The line is an artifact (diffraction spike) caused by a bright star outside of this image
The centre of the lower gaalxy is not blocked by a foreground star. It is just a very bright centre.
Where do you see a pea ?
The blue spots are probaly active star forming areas in the galaxy
I'd go for a fuzzy barred galaxy. (maybe slightly disturbed)
Not sure about the other two. And I'm not sure the central galaxy ( which you are supposed to classify) is an elliptical.
Just looking at this image and the bright orange and red objects are foreground stars from our galaxy (definitely not ellipticals).
Nice spiral or disk galaxy (with a big round bulge) seen edge on
The yellow bar is indeed an artifact. But you should always classify the object int he centre of the image ! 😄 Happy hunting!
The small dot (at 2 o'clock) could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
What do you mean : no features ????
I do hope you classified this one as a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on !
I see just one galaxy, but it is a very (very ! ) disturbed) spiral !
Hy Ryanswear, always classify the object in the centre of the image (even if it is the most boring one! ) 😄

Btw, what does MTG and LTG mean ?
It makes me smile to see an asteroid (the blue/red/green smarties, bottom left). So much fond memories ! 😄
The central object is just one galaxy.
Where do you see a voorwerpje ?
😃 I did have to check myself, because the star looks elongated. Not obvious at all !
The 'halo' is probably two fuzzy spiral arms in this gorgeous barred spiral.
Jets are usually not visible in these images.But what an amazing image. Looks like two galaxies interacting. Great catch !
Yep ! I'm with CeciliaB here. Probably a disk galaxy.
Looking at the zoomed out image in Skyserver, al the stars in it have this slightly elongated look. So, star for me (and no overlap !) 😉
I'd go with very disturbed spiral.
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a fuzzy galaxy. The bright round one is a foreground star from our galaxy.
LOL ! The red line is a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and bcause of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
Two spiral or disk galaxies seen edge on, possibly interacting.
The round object to the left of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy.

That is the most plausible possibility. But then again it could be an active star forming region connected with the galaxy.
The bright blue dots are not supernovae but very active star forming areas in the galaxy.
The bright blue dot is a very active star forming region in the galaxy.
The bright round object top left is not a galaxy but a forground star from our galaxy. No gravitational arcs in this image.

You could classify this one either as a very disturbed spiral galaxy, but irregular is equally valid.
No overlap here, sorry ! The purple dot is a foreground star from our galaxy. The hashtag overlap is only used for galaxy/galaxy overlaps.
The object to the right of the galaxy centre is probably a foreground star fro our galaxy.
The green object, bottom left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The color is an optical artifact.
The bright object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and coloured stripes are optical artifacts.
The bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
It's an extremely artificially redshifted galaxy

Looking at the original image (http://tinyurl.com/zgt6mp3), it could just as well be a disturbed, barred spiral with lots of star formation!

Please, classify the object as it appears in this image and not what you think/know it is ! This image should be classified as smooth&round
The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Yes, two galaxies. I'd go for #overlap.
It is an artificially redshifted gaalxy. See here for more info : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
I'm thinking it is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on. The slightly pointy tips give it away ! 😄
Hey ! Go for it ! 😄
The central object is a very disturbed, barred spiral galaxy with a couple of active star forming areas (the blue clumps).
The object in the centre is the tiny edge on galaxy. #wrong_size
The round bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
In the centre of the image there are two galaxies (not a star) overlapping.
Most probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
You could make a case for it 😄
It is an artificially redshifted galaxy. See here for more information : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
If it is a star it is always a foreground star from our galaxy
Yep ! There are two (not connected ) galaxies and one foreground star from our galaxy in the centre of this image.
Hey, you are right ! The bright spiky dot is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy and there is no way that it is causing disturbances in the central galaxy ! 😄
It could be a bar ! See the original image : http://cas.sdss.org/dr13/en/tools/chart/navi.aspx?ra=198.764634583627&dec=24.6188267682862

See my comment below ! 😄
Some of the small objects are other galaxies, others are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Spiral galaxies can rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise ! No problem.
Probably a spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on.
Probably ! 😄
It could be a disk galaxy with a very dominant bulge but you could classify this one just as well as smooth and round.
Yep ! Looks like it ! 😄
This is definitely a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on. The 'pointy' ends give it away.
Merger is a possibility, but neither galaxy looks (very) disturbed, so it could just as well be an overlap.
Here's the zoomed out image : http://tinyurl.com/jne2p4w
Gorgeous #merger ! 😄
The bright spiky object to the left is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are optical artifacts.
The blue object at 12 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.

The object at 6 o'clock from the core is probably a forground star from our galaxy.
A very faint and fuzzy irregular galaxy.
I see just one very disturbed galaxy.
The round one at 6 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. The one to the right is another galaxy.
The blue dots are active star forming regions in the galaxy.
No gravitational lens here. This is a fuzzy disturbed (spiral) galaxy.
See here : http://tinyurl.com/z2opfap
Happy hunting ! 😄
The straight line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact ) caused by a bright star outside of this image
Definitely an edge on galaxy, and disturbed.
The object in the centre of the image is definitely not a star, but a very fuzzy and 'irregular' galaxy !
If you see a dustlane, you should classify it. (I don't see a dustlane, but that is just me ! )
The object to the left looks like a galaxy to me. Not sure if it is overlapping or merging. It is your call ! 😄
The blue dot is an active star forming area in the galaxy.
Very poetic ! 😄
That could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
I wouldn't call this one smooth ! I see a bar and more than a hint of disturbed spiral arms (but hey, that is just me ! )
Both of these objects are foreground stars from our galaxy, so no merger here whatsoever ! 😄
In that case, just give it your best shot ! 😄
The red dots in this image are forground stars from our galaxy.
The central object is not a nebula but a disturbed galaxy with lots of star forming areas (the blue regions).
It looks like they are interacting to me. Nice #merger ! 😄
The red line is a satellite trail.
The green line is a satellite trail
Both galaxies look disturbed. Definitely a #merger for me ! 😄
What a gorgeous #merger !!!!
The bright pink object, top right, is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot have any interaction with the central galaxy.
It is an artificially redshifted image of a galaxy. Just give it your best shot! 😄 Happy hunting !
The bright object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy!
The blue dot at 7 o'clock is probably a very active star forming area in the galaxy ! 😄
Two galaxies, probably interacting ! Gorgeous image !
It could be two galaxies interacting !
What object are you referring to ? 😄
This is an image from an old and retired data set. And the strange colours are just optical artifacts and filter problems !
See the comments below.
Not turning into a spiral gaalxy. It is a slightly disturbed spiral galaxy with two very faint spiral arms.
The two bright white/green objects are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
The two stars look amazing ! Gorgeous line of sight ! The Universe is full of surprises! 😄
It's an artificially redshifted image ( http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx ) and it is not easy to classify. Just give it your best shot ! 😄
The purple thingies are just artifacts. It is safe to ignore these ! 😉
The bright spot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy, but we only use the # overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlap.
The central object is a very faint and fuzzy irregular galaxy. .
Not sure what you mean by anomaly. If you squint very hard you could just make out a two-armed barred spiral.
The bright red object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes, dark hirzonal lines and colors are all optical artifacts.
The blue dots (top right side) are just artifacts.
The violet dots and the green line are (sadly) just artifacts.
The blue line is a satellite trail.
The bright object, top left, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
You do realize that the object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy, so no merger whatsoever possible ! 😄
The purple object, top left, is a foreground star from our galaxy, but the colours are not real ! 😄
The red object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and red 'halo' are all optical artifact ! 😄
The blue object at the top is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. I do hope you classified the object in the centre of the image! 😄
Short answer : no ! 😄
No gravitational lensing in this image. It looks stunning though. 3 galaxies, probably interacting.
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Lovely image, but sadly no lens here. It is an artificially redshifted image of this galaxy : http://tinyurl.com/zhdxhuo

Gorgeous #merger but also #wrong_size ! 😄
Definitely a bar for me here ! 😄
If it has features (like a bar and/or a ring) it cannot be an elliptical. I'd go for a lenticular.
Sorry, no gravitational lensing in this image ! Spirals (or lenticulars) are usually not massive enough to do any lensing !
This looks like a disturbed barred spiral with an inner ring or else a disturbed barred lenticular with an inner ring.
Yep ! The red objects are all foreground stars from our galxy. But did you classify the small edge on galaxy inthe centre ? 😉
#wrong_size
The fact that it appears to have an inner ring could mean that it's a lenticular(a disk but without spiral arms)galaxy with a dominant bulge
The colour gradient is probably just an optical artifact (sorry ! )
Both galaxies look very disturbed, so I'd say #merger for sure!
Looks like it ! 😄
Definitely a spiral. I'd go for a disturbed two-armed barred spiral.
The bright spot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy and has nothing to do with the cenral galaxy.
It is an artificially redshifted galaxy. See this blog post for more info: https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
I'd call that more than a hint ! 😄 Beautiful disturbed spiral.

It's an extreme artificially redshifted galaxy. And in these extreme cases, star/artifact is perfectly acceptable.
Nope, definitely no gravitational lens/arc in this image. Looks like a fuzzy barred spiral to me.
Oh, okay ! Sorry, didn't mean to be so strict! 😄 And you are right ! with these smooth ones it is just almost impossible to tell.
Nope, just foreground stars from our galaxy, coloured with some optical artifacts.
This is a bit of a mystery for me : Why tag something as a merger AND an overlap ? They are mutually exclusive !

The bright object in the top left corner is just a foreground star from our galaxy. The triangular shape is just an optical artifact.
The two small bright objects to the left and right are foreground stars from our galaxy. And it is just a chance alignment !
Yep, correct ! The green and purple dots are just artifacts.
The object in the centre is a disturbed barred spiral galaxy. Gorgeous image ! 😄
The bright object in the top right quadrant is just a bright foreground star from our galaxy. Looks very pretty though! 😄
The red object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. But I hope you classified the object in the centre of the image ! 😉
The bright red object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy, but hte central object (which you are supposed to classify, is a galaxy.
This image is just too fuzzy to tell !
The blue line is a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in just one filter.

If there is not a lot (or no) interaction visible I tend to go for overlap.
Not a nebula but a real galaxy ! 😄 And there are indeed a couple of active star forming areas in it !
I'd classify this one as a gorgeous irregular ! 😄
At these distances it is not even possible to see individual stars in far away galaxies let alone planets !
The central object looks like a disturbed barred spiral to me.
If it has features (like the clumps here) than it is not a smooth galaxy. I'd go for an irregular or else a disturbed spiral galaxy.
If you see a bar (as in this galaxy) it is a disk galaxy (lenticular).
Not an elliptical but possibly a disk or spiral galaxy seen esge on.
There is the possibilty of a bar in this galaxy, so it cannot be an elliptical.
Sorry, ellipticals cannot have a bar !
Not an elliptical but a disk galaxy with a dominant bulge.
If you classifiy this one as an elliptical it cannot be barred as ellipticals are smooth (ie no features whatsoever).
So, how did you classify this one ? 😄
This is an extreme artificially redshifted galaxy. Just give it your best shot !
Glad to be of help and just keep the questions coming ! 😄
Happy hunting ! 😄
An extremely artifially redshifted image of a galaxy. Star/artifact for me. 😄
The two galaxies int he centre look disturbed, so merging is definitely a possibility ! No lensing here, sorry.
That is sadly just optical noise ! 😄

Have you seen this blog post ? : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
It you called it barred it cannot be an elliptical. Smooth (= elliptical) means without features and a bar is definitely a feature !
Not sure I'd call this one an elliptical. It could just as well be an extreme fuzzy spiral.
As far as GZ classifications are concerned: just look at the image of this galaxy & you see a disk with a dominant bulge&an amazing dustlane
Both larger galaxies look disturbed, so it is definitely possibly they are interacting. Possible #merger.
#wrong_size
I don't think it is a spiral but it sure looks like a disk (lenticular) galaxy to me. You can clearly see a horizontal disk. 😄
Or a spiral galaxy in front of an edge on, or maybe even some interaction going on ! 😄 ! It is your call ! Happy hunting ! 😄

So, my educated guess is that this is most probably a foreground star.
1/2
To determine is this is a supernova you would need at least two images (before and after).
Bright blue patches are usually a sign of star formation (in these SDSS images)!
Where do you see a super nova ? The blue blobs are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
Without additional information (redshift,etc) it is very difficult to determine if these galaxies are interacting !
With these extreme redshifted/ferengified images where there is hardly anything to classify star/artifact is perfectly acceptable.
The bright one to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. But that is very hard to see in this image. So, no merger here !
This could also be a spiral galaxy seen edge on.
The bright object at the top left side of the galaxy is sadly just a foreground star from our galaxy.
Most probably a foreground star from our galaxy ( sorry !!!! 😉 )
Lol ! But how did you classify it ?
Not sure I'd go for elliptical (=smooth) for this one ! Probably a disk or fuzzy spiral galaxy !
Not sure about the boxy bulge or the overlap. But definitely a disturbed edge on ! 😄

Sorry, smooth and disk seen edge on are mutually exclusive!
This one has slightly pointed ends, so I'd go for disk or spiral seen edge on.
The dark spot is just an artifact caused by oversaturation.
The tiny dark spot in the bright centre is just an artifact caused by oversaturation.
The green stripe is (sadly) just an artifact !

In this case it is perfectly acceptible to classify it as star/artifact ! 😄
double what ?
Not sure I'd go for elliptical (=smooth) as I can see a number of features. And the blue clumps are probably active star forming regions.
The blue stripe is indeed an artifact and should not be marked as weird !

Hi, this is a ferengified image of a galaxy (http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx).
Not sure where you see these spiral arms ! Could be a very disturbed elliptical galaxy !
Maybe a possible #polar_ring ?
I'd go for #merger ! 😄
If you classify it as an elliptical (=smooth) it cannot have a ring (as that would count as a feature! )
An elliptical galaxy can have a bulge but any other feature points to it being not an elliptical galaxy !
If you call it an edge on, it cannot be an elliptical. Ellipticals are smooth without any features ! 😄
f you think it is an elliptical, it cannot have a ring (as that would be a feature ! ). And the object at 11 is indeed a foreground star.
It is a ferengified image of a galaxy (http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx) ,which means it is artificially redshifted. Just give it your best shot !
That is definitely a possibility ! 😄
Don't think so ! The spot above the galaxy centre could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
Features and the no to every question and in the end : anythng odd : yes - irregular. But hey , that is just me ! 😄
Or a very (very ) disturbed spiral galaxy ! ;D
If you call it a smooth galaxy it cannot have any features ! Why not a disturbed barred galaxy ! : D
The object in the center looks like a very disturbed barred spiral & it is very possible that it is interacting with the galaxy to the left.
It's a ferengified galaxy. See this http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx for more info !
The big red object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
I agree ! In these cases it is percefectly acceptable to click star/artifact !
Hi, this is indeed a galaxy. It is a ferengified image ! See here for more info : http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx
If there is no galaxy visible you can click star/artifact.
Not a bar shaped galaxy but a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
Wow ! That is an impressive dustlane ! 😄
Or a disturbed spiral galaxy with an obvious bulge.
I'd go for a very disturbed barred spiral galaxy. But you could make a case for an irregular as well ! Just give it your best shot ! 😄
Definitely a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on ! 😄
These two galaxies are definitely interacting ! 😄
You could go for a disturbed spiral with a big bulge ! 😄
I agree ! It is a ferengified (http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx) galaxy.
Nope ! It is a real (ferengified = http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx) galaxy ! 😄
The object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy, so no merger possible, sorry !
The blue clumps are active star forming regions in the galaxy.
Neither ! This is a galaxy wh billions of stars ! . The purple/green line is an artifact.
These extreme ferengified (http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx) galaxies are very difficult to classify. Star/artifiact is also an option.
At least two galaxies interacting ! Gorgeous #merger ! 😄
This is an old Hubble image with tons of artifacts. No need to classify this one ! 😉
Nope, not a star but a ferengified galaxy (http://tinyurl.com/j6frzzx). It is okay to classify this one as star/artifact.
Nope ! The bright object,top right,is a foreground star from our galaxy. But please, always classify the object in the centre of the image.
Not a supernova remnant but a real (ferengified) galaxy !
The 'feathers' in the foreground are imaging artifacts.
#wrong_size
#wrong_size
Yep ! 😄
The bright yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object to the lett is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. But in this image that is all but impossible to tell.
There is not much to classify, is there ! 😃
You can use star/artifact.
those thingies to the right are not arms. This image is very pixellated.
If you classify it as an elliptical it cannot have a dominant bulge and be ringed ! These things are features !
Sorry ! If you think this is a smooth one (elliptical) , it cannot have any features ! This is most definitely a barred spiral !
Not sure if I'd go for an elliptical ! And if you think there is a noticeable bulge it cannot be an elliptical (smooth one) either !
Not sure I'd classify this one as an elliptical. Probably a very (very) fuzzy spiral with a big bulge !
If you classify it as a smooth one do not attribute any features !
Definitely not an elliptical galaxy. There lots of features here, as you have classified ! If it is a smooth one there are no features !
The central object could be a very (very) disturbed spiral galaxy or just an irregular galaxy
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Gorgeous edge on with an even more dazzling dustlane !
If you see an edge on, it cannot be an elliptical ! I might go for the dustlane but definitely a no/no about the bar !
It is a very ferengiefied image ( see this blog post : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/)
Ellipiticals are smooth without any features. So, this should be classified as a disk or fuzzy spiral galaxy with a bar !
Yep, this image is ferengified beyond recognition ! ;D You can classify this one as star/artifact , no problemo ! 😄
Well, I'd go for a disturbed barred two-armed spiral ! But hey, that is just me ! ;D
Yep ! 😄
The blue object is a disturbed spiral or disk galaxy with lots of star forming areas (the blue clumps !)
Gorgeous barred spiral with lots of star forming areas (the blue blobs).
I'd classify this one as smooth and in between, but that is just me ! 😄
Hi ! Hope you enjoy GZ ! 😄
If it is this blurry you can classify these as star/artifact;
You can classify these as star/artifact;
You can classify these as star/artifact;
What about a possible #polarring ?
No artifact but an irregular galaxy.
Classify as star/artifact ! 😄
A disturbed, barred spiral galaxy
The central object is ot a star but a very disturbed galaxy.
The software completely messed up ! 😄 The central object is a foreground star from our galaxy and so are the two bright spiy objects.
You can click star/artifact for these !
I wouldn't call this a loose spiral as the arms are wound tightly !
You can tyoe in the coordinates on the SDSS site and then you can get to the additional info.
It's NGC 0931 btw ! 😉
The bright, spiky obect to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The orange object (top) is indeed a star from our galaxy. But the central object, which you are supposed to classify, is a galaxy.
This is a ferengified image of a galaxy. See https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/ for more info.
This is a barred disk galaxy (lenticular).
Or two spirals merging !
This is a Ferengi image (https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/). But I'd classify this as star/artifact
Oh wow ! Gorgeous #merger !
Definitely not a star but a picture perfect example of a barred spiral galaxy ! 😄
The blue spots are active star forming areas in the galaxy ! 😄
Nope ! It is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. I'd go for #irregular !
You can mark these with @wrong_size !
Gorgeous, slightly disturbed, spiral galaxy ! Nice catch ! 😄
Not sure I'd go for clumpy, probably more disturbed. But that is just me !
Take a look at this blog post first : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
Happy hunting ! 😄
Or just a very fuzzy image ! Have you seen this blog post ? : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
Definitely no gravitational lens in this image (sorry! )
#merger for me as well ! 😄
Nope ! This is definitely a (disturbed/irregular) galaxy and not a supernova remnant !
Hiya, have you seen this blog post ? : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
Yep, definitely not an easy one ! 😄 have you seen this blog post ? : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
Or it could be a spiral galaxy seen edge on ! 😄
Oh Wow ! Gorgeous #overlap ! 😄
If you see two spiral arms you should classify as such ! 😄
It's a possibility ! Have you seen this blog post ? : https://blog.galaxyzoo.org/2016/12/12/ferengi-2-images-launched/
Not sure there are foreground stars in this image ! ;D
A disk galaxy seen edge on, could just as well be a spiral galaxy ! 😄
Definitely #merger ! 😄
So, how did you classify it ? 😄
With these kind of distortions, I'd say #merger !!!
The central object is not a star but a very real galaxy with a very, very bright core (maybe an AGN ? )

The strange blue thingy at the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. See the original image :
What about a disturbed barred spiral with an inner ring ! 😄
The bright ring and the dark core are probably just optical artifacts caused by oversaturation.
2/2
But you should look for disturbances in the galaxies to see if they are really interacting ! (Not sure this is the case here ! )
1/2
A three way merger is definitely possible and has happened before !
The green flare is just an optical artifact, caused by the bright star at 5 o'clock.
Just one galaxy in the centre of the image : a disk galaxy with a bar !
Yep ! 😄
The bright blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy. Happy hunting ! 😄
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy !
Happy hunting ! 😄
It is very dim but it is a galaxy none the less ! 😄
#irregular for me ! 😄
This is definitely a weird one ! It looks like a disturbed elliptical but with a very defined dustlane (which should not be possible ! )
Nope ! Not a planetary nebula but a real galaxy ! Looks like a spiral galaxy with tight arms.

Well, it is not always easy to tell with these fuzzy smooth ones ! 😄
Wow ! #dailyzoo
That weird yellow line is sady just an artifact.
Happy hunting ! 😄
Disturbed, barred spiral with two arms.Interacting with the galaxy to the left. Nice #merger.
Nice bulgeless edge on.
You can still see the spiral structure, so I'd go for a disturbed two armed spiral.
Probably overlap ! Nice catch ! 😄
If you see indications of a spiral shape you cannot classify it as an ellliptical. Ellipicals are smooth without features.
The "arc"is either a disturbed spiral arm or tidal debris.
Check out the grav lens thread over on the old Galaxy Zoo forum and see what I posted ! 😄 And for every dud there is a maybe ! 😄
The central object is probably a spiral/disk galaxy & these are usually not massive enough to do any lensing visible in these images(sorry!)
This one looks like a disk (possibly spiral) galaxy seen at an angle. Perhaps with a boxy bulge ?
Yep ! great #merger ! 😄
The bright white (seemingly cubic) thing is a foreground star from our galaxy. The fact that it looks squarish is just an artifact.
It could go either way ! I'm more inclined to call this a merger. Both galaxies look slightly disturbed.
It doesn't look like lensing. Some of the small ones could be foreground stars from our galaxy.
Probably ! 😄
The central galaxy is a seriously disturbed spiral. So a definite yes for tidal debris ! 😄
I'm with CeciliaB here ! It is either an elliptical or a galaxy with features ! You cannot have an elliptical with features, sorry !
Just because I classify it a s a spiral doesn't mean it is one ! Just answer the questions as well as you can !
A disturbed spiral galaxy with a dominant bulge ? 😄
The bright object at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Great job ! Thans for participating ! 😄
Yep ! 😄
None of the galaxies in this image look especially disturbed,so no merger here for me.And also no gravitational lensing in this image,sorry.
I just see one barred spiral galaxy with two very faint spiral arms.
Isn't it just ! 😄
I'd go for a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on (with a round bulge).
The ring of material is just fuzzy and disturbed spiral arms folding back to make a ring. It's called a #ringed galaxy.
The bright white/blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy !
A very lovely chance alignment of galaxies and stars from our galaxy !

After checking out the z's which are almost identical, it appears that merger is also a possibility.

Just by looking at the images I'd go for overlap as well.
First hunch is the correct one : the blue patches are regions of very active star forming in the galaxy.
Happy hunting ! 😄
To me, it looks like they are interacting. I'd go for #merger.
😄
The yellowish spot is sadly just an artifact !
Neither ! The central object is a disturbed spiral galaxy. So, the 'arc' is a disturbed spiral arm.
I'd go for merger ! Both galaxies look pretty disturbed ! 😄
Sorry, the bright round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.

Sorry, but there is no gravitational lensing in this image. The central object is a fuzzy spiral galaxy...
Definitely looks like it ! 😄
That could be another galaxy seen edge on.
I'd classsify the central object as an irregular galaxy.
The red thread/line is just an optical artifact and should not be marked as weird !
Happy hunting ! 😄
A slightly disturbed, loose two-armed spiral ? 😉
Two amazing galaxies in one image ! 😄
The bright spot at 5 is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
See the comments below: two galaxies colliding. Nice #merger
The central object is a disturbed galaxy.
The image is just too fuzzy ! And without additional information it is impossible to tell. Sorry ! 😄
I see three galaxies in the centre of the image.
The green line is a satellite trail. Not sure what that is in the upper right, sorry.
I'd definitely go for a fuzzy barred spiral ! 😄
The image is just too fuzzy to tell. It could be another galaxy but it could just as well be a foreground star from our galaxy.

Sorry, no gravitational lensing in this image. Spiral galaxies are usuall not massive enought to do any lensing ! 😄
The 'beam of light' is another galaxy. Could be foreground or background or even interacting with the central galaxy.
The green line is indeed an artifact. Sorry !
The central object is a galaxy, but the one at 10 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, definitely no merger here !
The blue line is,sadly, just an artifact.
Wow ! That is an amazing #merger ! 😄
Most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
With smooth galaxies it is definitely not easy to tell. I'd go for merger here.
The purple green thingy is (sadly) just an artifact !
Happy hunting! 😄
The objects with a blue dot/ring in the centre are foreground stars from our galaxy.The blue is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation
Not sure this is a merger. The central galaxy does not look disturbed and the small round object at 8 o'clock looks like a foreground star
Yep ! Both galaxies are deformed. A sure sign they are interacting. Nice #merger.
I'd probably go for #merger as both galaxies look disturbed.
I'd go for an independent galaxy.
I'd go for a three-armed barred spiral with a noticeable bulge - tidal debris.
The horizontal coloured lines are sadly just artifacts !
The distortions could be the result of a fly-by.
Sorry, no gravitational lenses here. The central galaxy is a barred spiral with two fuzzy spiral arms.
Looks amazing though ! 😄
Quite a lot of colliding galaxies. Gorgeous #merger !
Nice catch !
Sorry, no lensed galaxy in this image
And both galaxies are seriously disturbed ! Definitely a #merger in my book ! 😄
You could make a case for both ! Without additional information (redshift) it is hard to tell.
Just give it your best shot !

Here it is not so clear, so some will classify this as a merger and others as an overlap.

Look for disturbances in the galaxies. That is always a clear sign they are interacting.
Always classify the object in the centre of the image !

I'd go for a double ringed galaxy! 😄 But a really nice catch! 😄
Yep ! I'd go for a distorted spiral/disk edge on ! 😄
And a very disturbed one too ! 😄
The round white object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy and just cannot be interacting with the cenral galaxy.
Neither galaxy looks disturbed, but a merger is still a possibility. Personally, I wouldn't mark it as one.
Probably.
#dustlane for me ! 😄
Not sure. Neither of the galaxies looks disturbed. Could be an #overlap.
I'm more inclined to go for tidal debris ! 😄
What are you referring to ?
Just one spiral galaxy here. No merger, sorry !
Where ?
Probably not an arc but tidal debris/disturbed spiral arm from the central galaxy.
The straight line is probably a satellite trail.
The bright dot at 8 o'clock is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
happy hunting! ;D
That is a possibility ! 😄
Sorry, no jets here for me !
Not sure ! I'd probably go for one very disturbed spiral galaxy (with a couple of foreground stars).
Sorry, this is not an elliptical. You could go for lenticular of fuzzy spiral
Fuzzy spiral for me too ! 😄
Nice one ! 😄
Why ? Gorgeous #merger for me ! 😄
Happy hunting ! 😄
And we don't mean the small round one ! Just zoom out and there is a gorgeous spiral galaxy with the same z !
The central object is probably a two-armed spiral galaxy. Not sure what the artifact # is referring to !
It is probably a spiral, but the image is just sooooo fuzzy !
SDSS says star, but I'm not sure. I'd flag this one as a possible voorwerpje too !
The fuzzy 'ring' around the central bulge are probably spiral arms.
Yep, definitely a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on !
The cenral oval object is a galaxy. The bright white one at 1 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Always classify the object in the centre of the image !
Happy hunting ! 😄
The purple and green line is just an artiact and has nothing to do with the galaxies in this image.
Definitely a dustlane ! Not sure about a polar ring though !
Two galaxies interacting. Gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Could be ! Definitely a very disturbed spiral galaxy ! D

Keep up the good work ! 😄
Ah, I see ! That purple line looks kinda artificial, sorry !
That is certainly a possibility.
Yes, this could be a fuzzy spiral.
Disturbed barred spiral for me.
Disturbed spiral for me.

PS : I do understand German but I cannot write in German. I hope this is okay !😄
The bright object at 12 o'clock is a foreground a star from our galaxy and the reddish line at the top is an imaging artifact.
Why ? 😄
It is a very fuzzy image. But I'm inclined to classify this one as a two armed spiral.But that is just me ! 😄
It's two galaxies, probably overlapping.
The greenish white round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The red line is indeed an artifact.
See the other comments below ! Gorgeous merger
Without additional info (redshift) it is not possible to tell just from this image if these galaxies will ever merge !
But without additional info (redshift) it is not possible to determine which galaxies are actually interacting in this image.
Certainement une distortion. Mais le coupable n'est pas dans l'image ! 😄
The star (to the right) is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, it is just not possible that it is interacting with the two galaxies !
Not a lenticular but a two armed spiral.
The green line is (sadly) just an imaging artifact.
Happy hunting ! 😄
No gravitational lens here. This is a spiral galaxy with faint and fuzzy spiral arms
The object in the bottom right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The purple dots are an artifact caused by oversaturation.

The image is very fuzzy, but merger is a possibility.
It is a fuzzy image but both galaxies look disturbed.

Not sure what the problem is. As said in below comment : it is a barred two-armed spiral, maybe smightmy disturbed.
It's a possible distorted spiral.
Good call ! And as both galaxis look disturbed, it could be a #merger just starting ! 😄
Meh ! I'd probably go with disturbed spiral ! 😄
Please, only use the # overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps.
Or a disturbed spiral. And yes it is NGC5505
The image is very fuzzy, but merger is a possibility.
Its a disturbed galaxy with lots of star formation (the blue clumps) going on.
Not sure I'd go for an edge on. And what do you mean by 'halo' ?
Not to mention the amazing interacting galaxies ! #merger;
Top galaxy is very distorted. #merger for me
Yep ! A fuzzy two armed spiral galaxy ! 😄
The blue dots in the galaxy are not inidividual stars but star forming areas in the galaxy.

The central object is most definitely a galaxy.
The red stripe is (sadly) just an artifact.
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy. So no interaction possible with the galaxy in the centre of the image.

Amazing ! And look at those dustlanes ! 😄
The bright green object (colours aren't real) is a foreground star from our galaxy. SDSS image and DECaLS one are flipped ?
Very disturbed spiral galaxy.
Nope, not a supenova. It's definitely a galaxy !
Both have the same redshift and look disturbed, so they are definitely interacting ! 😄
Always classify the object in the centre of the image.
Here that is definitely the galaxy !
#dailyzoo ! just because ! 😄
See the zoomed out SDSS image : http://tinyurl.com/zw8b35e
Gorgeous #merger !
You cannot undo a classification. Don't worry if you make a mistake. Every image will be classified by lots of people.
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy, no no merger here.
The yellow stripe on the left side of the galaxy is indeed an imaging artifact.
This is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on
Looks like a merger to me ! 😄
The red thin line is, sadly, just an artifact !
I wouldn't go for overlap, looking at the disturbances in both galaxies. See the comments below/.
Looks like a fuzzy spiral to me ! 😄
The red colouring to the right is just an imaging artifact !
I see one heavily distorted galaxy with a couple of extremely active star forming regions (the blue clumps).
Not sure what you mean ! I see a disturbed spiral galaxy with some very active star forming regions (the blue clumps).
Merger is a possibility but the image is very fuzzy&there is not much disturbance visible in both galaxies.I wouldn't classify this a merger
Or a disturbed spiral galaxy with the spiral arms folding back a number of times. Lovely image.
The two bright objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
Happy hunting ! D
Not much disturbance in the galaxies in the centre. Not sure if I'd go for a merger.
Probably !
The central galaxy is definitely not an elliptical but a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
I'd go for one clumpy galaxy here. And the clumps are star forming areas in the galaxy.
With these kinds of distortions it is most probably a #merger and not an overlap ! 😄
Really ! That is a very strange classification !
The central object is an irregular galaxy (maybe a very deformed spiral1)/ The bright blue dot is an active star forming area in the galaxy.
Gorgeous !
Erm ! I could go with disturbed spiral ! (and a dustlane too ! )
Could be just one very disturbed spiral. No culprit in sight ! 😄
Two galaxies interacting ! Lovely #merger ! 😄
The 'arc' is too far away from the central galxy to be a gravitational lens. Gorgeous disturbed galaxy. 😄
The little square is sadly just an artifact.
Could be but SDSS thinks it is a galaxy and looking at that image (http://tinyurl.com/zyoa49p) I agre ! 😄
The green and purple lines/dots are sadly just artifacts.
Happy hunting ! 😄
The SDSS link is not correct for this galaxy. It jumps to a nearby object labelled as star. 😄
The red line is not an asteroid trail, but an artifact. bluemagi's asteroid can be found at the coordinates he gives (not in this image)
The red arcs are, sadly, just imaging artifacts !
Wow ! Amazing disturbed spiral !
Magnifique ! 😄
Yep ! Good catch ! 😄
Or maybe a foreground star from our galaxy ?
For me this is a (disturbed ?) spiral galaxy where the two (fuzzy) spiral arms fold back to make a ring. I.e. a #ringed galaxy.
And I'm not sure about the merging part either ! 😄
For me this image is just too fuzzy ! It could be 2 ellipticals, but it could just as wel be 2 fuzzy spirals merging !
#Merger for me, without a doubt ! 😄
Oh yes ! 😄
Technically this is called a disturbed ringed galaxy. It's where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring.
Probably just a fuzzy spiral. No lens here, sorry !
Yep ! Fuzzy barred spiral for me too ! 😄
Just one very disturbed spiral for me.
Or a fuzzy disturbed spiral.
Not much disturbance visible, but then again it is a very fuzzy image so merger is still a possibility.
Definitely ! 😄
Yep ! Great catch! 😄
The blue/purple (?) dots in the bottom spiral arm are active star forming areas.
Or a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. Could you please explain ?
No merger here, sorry. The two bright round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Two galaxies that appear to be close together. No gravitational lensing in this image, sorry.
The coloured line is indeed an an imaging artifact.
Yep ! Artifact.
The bright white object at 2 o'clock is,sadly, not a supernova but a foreground star from our galaxy. Sorry !
See my comment below ! ;D
Could be a merger, or could be an overlap.
It could be spiral arms that fold back to make a ring ! Really beautiful galaxy ! 😄
Do you mean the small dot at 8 o'clock ? That could just as well be a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger here anyway.
Yep, we can ! See : http://tinyurl.com/jr384dh 😄
Yep ! Great #merger ! 😄
Gorgeous #merger !
It is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.No merger whatsoever because the small round one is a foreground star from our galaxy
Merging with what ?
See the comments below : I'd go for a disturbed spiral galaxy.
Probaly a fuzzy spiral galaxy.
Spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on !
Please, not again ! 😦 It's a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
Definitely NOT an elliptical galaxy. This is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
Don't forget to mark the bar !
No comment as to the classification of the two galaxies, but #merger for me as well.
This one could be classified as smooth and in between.
Please, take a look at the examples ! This is a disk or spiral galaxy seen almost edge on.
Most definitely not an elliptical galaxy. I see a disturbed spiral galxy.
Try squinting and you will probably see a spiral structure here ! ;D
This is a classic example of a two-armed and barred spiral galaxy. Most definitely not an elliptical.
The thin horizontal line is most definitely not a dust lane. It is an artifact ! 😄
If it is ringed, it cannot be an elliptical. Remmeber : ellipticals are smooth and featureless.
Which object are you referring to ?
Or very disturbed spiral !
Hi strArter, I ran your post through Google translate but I'm not sure what you are asking. Is your galaxy count not right ?
The red stripe (to the left) is, sadly, just an artifact.
That looks like an artifact to me.
It's a fuzzy, disturbed, barred spiral galaxy
It's a smooth (slightly disturbed ?) galaxy. And the orange blob top right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Wow ! 😄
#dailyzoo
Sorry, I don't see it !
The yellow 'ray' is sadly just an artifact ! 😄
Happy hunting !
Whatever it is, this galaxy is severly disturbed !
If it is ringed it cannot be an elliptical. I'd go for a lenticular one.
I wouldn't call this one an overlap as the small object at 5 is a foreground star from our galaxy and the edge on at 4 is not overlapping.
I'd go for two faint and fuzzy spiral arms.
Yes, the blue marks are imaging artifacts.
Spiral galaxy seen FACE ON (definitely not edge on) and interacting with the galaxy to the right.
Nice #merger
Again, not a spiral seen edge on !
This is a disturbed spiral seen face on !
Definitely not a spiral seen edge on !
And the green line is, sadly, just an artifact ! 😄
The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
#dailyzoo
If you don't think this one looks disturbed in DECaLS I don't know what you would call disturbed ! 😄
See the comments below : gorgeous #merger ! 😄
No Voorwerp whatsoever in this image, sorry !
The two objects in the centre of the image are most definitely galaxies, but whether they are interacting or not is impossible to tell.
I'd probably go for foreground star, but your guess is as good as mine ! 😄
Yep ! Astro_Denny is correct ! 😄
I see just one galaxy, so neither for me. I'd go for a disturbed (maybe barred) spiral galaxy.
Oh yes ! 😄
The purple/green line is an artifact.
You could go for a barred lenticular (disk galaxy without spiral arms) with a big bulge.
The green curved line is sadly just an artfact.
Gorgeous #merger !
No dust rings in this galaxy, sorry ! 😦 Just a lovely two armed spiral galaxy !
A barred, loose two armed spiral. What is different for you ?
Your guess is as good as mine ! 😄 If there are a lot of different classifications this will alert the science team that this is a strange 1
and other objects are other galaxies.
Hope this helps ! 😄
The central object is a spiral/disk galaxy seen edge on (with a bulge).Some of the small objects are foreground stars from our galaxy ....
Nope, not just your imagination ! If I squint a bit I can see a spiral arm at 7. And also a bar in this spiral galaxy !
Sorry, the pink and yellow stripes are just optical artifacts and are just not real !
The object (bottom left) could be another galaxy but it could just as well be a foreground star from our galaxy. Too fuzzy to tell.

Yep ! Dustlane for me.
So much more visible in SDSS image :
Correct ! Here the software got confused and centered on a star instead of a galaxy !
The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Probably just a foreground star from our galaxy. Sorry !
Not sure if there is a merger in this image. The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nice disturbed barred spiral too ! 😄
It's a LSB galaxy (Low Surface Brightness).Nice find ! 😄
Sorry, probably just a foreground star from our galaxy.
Lovely barred spiral with two very faint and fuzzy spiral arms.
#merger ! 😄
The green line and the purple patch are just imaging artifacts.
The object in the centre of the image is not a star but a galaxy.

Here in GZ we use the term overlap for galax/galaxy overlaps.
1/2
As the two small white objects upper left are foreground stars from our galaxy, this isn't an overlap.
Definitely not smooth for me. It looks like a disturbed spiral galaxy.
Both galaxies are distorted so it is safe to call it a #merger ! 😄
The yellow stripe is just an imging artifact. No need to mark this as odd. Happy hunting !😄
#wrong_size
The object in the centre (that you are supposed to classify) is a fuzzy , disturbed (maybe a spiral) galaxy.
😄
The central object is a galaxy. The bright one at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Although it is not easy to see disturbances in these smooth galaxies, it is safe to assume that they are merging.
If you say so ! 😉
Definitely not a cigar shaped galaxy. It is a spiral or disk galaxy seen almost edge on, but a two armed spiral is also a possibility.
space creature ? ;D
Two galaxies interacting ! 😄
The purple dot, left of the centre, is sadly just an imaging artifact.
#wrong_size
Spiral galaxy with very faint and fuzzy arms is definitely a possibility.
The big fuzzy objects in the centre of the image are galaxies interacting. Nice #merger.
Sorry, not sure what you are asking ?
No idea which red object you are referring to. Could you point us to it ?
CeciliaB is correct. No merger in this image !
The bluish clumps are active star forming regions in the galaxy, so yes !
Yep ! A fuzzy (spiral ?) galaxy.
No gravitational lensing in this image, sorry !
Probably ! 😄
The green vertical line is an imaging artifact.
This looks like a disturbed spiral galaxy to me.
Yep ! That is a foreground star from our galaxy, but the colours are not real ! 😄
Just classify what you see ! That is all we are asking ! 😄
The coloured lines crossing the central galaxy are (sadly) just artifacts.
Definitely two foregroundstars from our galaxy. But whether they are actually close together ?
The central object is a distorted spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on.The purple dot is an artifact & the bright round 1 is a foreground star
The green coloured line is an artifact ! (sorry ! )
Nope,not a PN; But a real fuzzy galaxy ! 😄
It could be four, as they all appear to be distorted. But without additional info (z, etc) it is impossible to be sure.
Sorry, I have no idea what ou are referring to ! Could you please point me to it ?
This could indeed be a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on, but it could also be an irregular galaxy.
Either a fuzzy irregular or a fuzzy distorted spiral.
The central object is a fuzzy distorted galaxy, interacting with the larger one top left. Gorgeous #merger in action.
Possibly ! 😄
Just one disturbed galaxy for me, sorry. The reddish blob at 10 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nice #merger ! 😄
Disturbed fuzzy spiral for me.
What do you mean by other features ?
Nope ! The dustlane is the real deal ! :
Do you mean the round white object at the top ? That is a foreground star from our galalxy.
Yep ! Definitely a merger !
Ola e bienvenudo a GZ ! 😄
It's a very disturbed galaxy, but no obvious culprits in sight ! 😄
All of the above or nothing at all ! It is your call ! (I'd go for a tentaviley polar ring ! 😉 )
Definitely a spiral galaxy seen almost edge on ! 😄
That should not be happening ! I'll flag it to the developers !
The black spot is just an artifact and should not be marked as weird. The central object is a barred, two armed spiral, slightly disturbed.
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy so it is impossible for it to have any interaction whatsoever with the central galaxy.
I don't see any black spots, sorry. The central object is just a disturbed, barred spiral.
Yes, you are correct. The purple/brown rectangle is an artifact.
That is a bit of a strange classification : How can an elliptical have spiral arms ???? It is either or !

If you like to hunt for supernovae, try this site : https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/dwright04/supernova-hunters.
The bright spot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Just one (very disturbed) galaxy and zooming out there is no obvious culprit in sight. Maybe the result of a fly-by.
Gorgeous image ! 😄
😄
No jet in this image, sorry.
the squiggly reddish line is just an artifact. They are quite common in these DECaLS images.
@zutopian : So, how did you classify this one ?
Or maybe a very (very), fuzzy spiral ! ? ;D
Probably a merger, looking at the slightly disturbed galaxies ! 😄
Could be two galaxies merging or could just be a line of sight. The image is just too fuzzy to tell without additional information.
2/2
The small galaxy, top right, could be a foreground/background galaxy. No merger here for me : No disturbances in either galaxy.
1/2
The bluish galaxies (bottom right corner) are too far away from the cenral galaxy to be a lensed galaxy.
The coloured horizontal lines are just artifacts, sorry. No dust lane whatsoever !
The central object is a spiral galaxy & the round white one is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no interaction whatsoever possible.
The object at the bottom of the central galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy. Good question ! 😄
Sadly just artifacts. 😦
See the comments below : It is most definitely a spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on, but the colour is not real.
Why would you think this one is a spiral ?
Btw,you do realize that your hashtag spiral doesn't help at all? It is not used in any study
Spiral ? I don't think so !
The object at 12 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy, so definitely not a merger ! 😄
Yep, spiral for me as well. Try squinting and things will get much 'clearer' ! ;D
The objects to the left of the galaxy are all forground stars from our galaxy.
The image is just too fuzzy to tell. The small blob could just as well be a foreground star from our galaxy.
Oh yes ! 😉
It could go either way, the image is just too fuzzy to tell.
Definitely not a Einstein cross in this image. The blue clumps are starforming regions in the galaxy.
Disturbed spiral, so both ! 😄
Not a background star but a foreground star from our galaxy.
Wow ! Gorgeous #merger ! 😄
I'd go for overlap.
Or just one disturbed spiral ?
2/2
But without additional info (redshift) it is just impossible to determine that.
1/2
The small objects in this image could be foreground stars, far away galaxies or nearby galaxies (maybe interacting).
The halo could be very fuzzy spiral arms.
The green line is, sadly, just an artifact.
The small round object at 3 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
What an amazing image ! Definitely #merger ! 😄
Beautiful #boxy bulge !
Gorgeous !
#dailyzoo
They are, sadly, just artifacts !
Looks like one to me ! 😄
The imagze is very fuzzy, but I'd go for spiral too !
Both small orange objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. So, definitely no lensing here.
If I squint really hard (my favourite scientific method) I can see a fuzzy, slightly disturbed, spiral.
The barred stripe, top half of the gaalxy is an optical artifact.
Difficult to say, but the left one is probably a fuzzy spiral.
That would be a bar.
You can change the language for the classification page to a number of languages. Talk is mostly in English.
The yellow strip is just an artifact.
The green line with the purple dot is an artifact.
No jets whatosever in this image. The pink/purple lines are just artifacts (sorry) ! :fD
Wow ! Gorgeous #merger !
#dailyzoo
Both galaxies look disturbed and have similar redshifts, so #merger for me
Looks like they are interacting, so #merger for me too !
It's a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. Also known as a faint and fuzzy galaxy ! ;D
Disturbed spiral for me ! 😄
This is probably a disturbed spiral galaxy.
See the comments below : the blue/green fuzzy thingies are just an artifact !b:D
If the image is a very fuzzy one (like this one) there is no way to tell if this is an overlap or a possible merger. (Sorry ! )
Probably a fuzzy spiral arm. Definitely not a gravitational arc.
More chance of it being a tidal tail or fuzzy spiral arm. Definitely not a gravitational arc.
The green line and purple blob are just artifacts.
Yep ! This is a spiral galaxy, seen nearly edge on.
Click on Galaxy Zoo examine (under image) & then choose DECaLS or Skyserver. But remember zooming in will not bring our more details !
Not sure I'd call this one an elliptical. I'd go for a disk galaxy with a big bulge.
#wrong_size
Correct ! The bright round object below the centre of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nope, no merger here, sorry.
No merger. The small round dot (top left) is a foreground star fro our galaxy.
No merger here. The small round objects are foregroud stars fro mour galaxy.
No merger here. The small round dot a the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No merger here. The small round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
If you see any features like the bar in this one, it cannot be a smooth elliptical.
At these distances it is impossible to see individual stars. The best you can see is star forming clumps.
That is a possibility. But because of the overall fuzziness of the image it could just as well be a fuzzy barred spiral.
Not really ! Just a two-armed, barred spiral . Looks lovely though ! 😄
See the comments below : it's an artifact.
Astro_Denny is correct ! No gravitational lensing in this image as a foreground star from our galaxy is definitely not massive enough !
No merger here. The bright round object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The greenish/blue blob is an asteroid. Nice catch! 😄
Definitely no gravitational lensing in this image !
Not sure what you are referring to ???? In this image we have two edge on spirals probably very far apart ! Purely coincidence for me !
The two small round objects are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy. Why do you think they are massive old stars ?
So it is either merging or overlapping, you can't have both.
Which do you prefer ?
Hint : I'd go for #overlap ! 😄
2/2
The small dot to the right of the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger here, sorry.
1/2
The central object is not an elliptical (smooth) galaxy but probably a fuzzy spiral.
#wrong_size
It's a disturbed barred spiral galaxy. The blobs are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
It's two galaxies interacting ! Nice #merger !
Not a cloud but a faint and fuzzy galaxy with a star forming area (the blue blob).
Yep, barred spiral for me as well.
The bright blue star is most probably just a foreground star from our galaxy ! 😦
What an amazing image ! Nice catch ! 😄
Hi aubrey,
The object at 2 is not a supernova but (sadly) just a foreground star from our galaxy.
Merger for me as well ! Both galaxies are seriously disturbed.
No. This is a barred spiral seen face on. The spiral arms are very faint and fuzzy.
Here it's the fuzzy tips. Another hint is if it has pointed tips it is an edge on. Also there are very few cigars.
I'd probably go for disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
See the comments below ! 😄
Nice one ! 😄
That could be an asteroid ! 😄 Nice catch !
Nope ! You can tag these with #wrong_size.
especially the lower galaxy seems disturbed. So, it could be a merger.
Yep, artifact for me as well ! 😦
I would have gone for #merger too !
2/2
Can I ask where you found this image ? I hope you didn't get this to classify as it is not a DECaLS image. 😉

It's an optical artiffact caused by a bright star outside of this image.
the central objet is indeed a fuzzy galaxy. The star at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy. No interaction whatsoever possible.
With these kind of distortions, #merger is a safe bet ! 😉
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright spots are probably active star forming areas in the galaxy.
Btw, the central object is a galaxy ! ;-D
Gorgeous #merger ! See the zoomed out image : http://tinyurl.com/jeptlu9 😄
The central object is a slightly disturbed spiral galaxy. The reddish small objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.

The round object at 8 o'clock is a forerground star and the object a 5 is probably a background galaxy.

No merger for me. Although the central galaxy looks a bit disturbed.
No merger for me here. Both the small object at the top and the larger one at the bottom are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Tidal debris for me.

And the lower object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.

The central galaxy is a disturbed spiral. No obvious culprit in sight. Could be the result of a flyby.
Or possible #merger. With these smooth galaxies it is not easy to tell.
There is a purple spot in the SDSS image. I'm thinking active star forming region.
Not a stallite trail here. Just an artifact.
Yep, it's a typical DECaLS artifact.
There is only one galaxy in the centre of this image. The white round one to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central galaxy doesn't look disturbed. No merger for me, sorry.
Th object to the right is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no merger in this image.
Beautiful spiral with foreground stars. All the individual stars you see in these images are stars from our galaxy.
No merger in this image. Just one galaxy. The bright round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Not a star but a real galaxy !
It doesn't look like a lens. And the small object (top right) is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, just an artifact !
NO lensed galaxies in this image.
Two galaxies and a foregrond star (bottom). NO Einstein arcs in this image.
I'd go for merger. The little one to the right looks disturbed.
Lovely, disturbed barred spiral. Nice catch ! 😄
So sorry, but the pink and green thingies are just artifacts. Nothing special. 😦
The small round object at the bottom of the central galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, they cannot merge.
LOL !
The red line is, sadly, just an artifact.
The bright blue/white object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Merger for me! 😄
Definitely a merger ! Nice one !
Some far away galaxies.
But this image is #wrong_size.
Two galaxies, probably not interacting. #overlap.
And definitely not a gravitational lens.
The central (very disturbed) galaxy is interacting with the edge on (top of the image). Nice #merger in progress.
Nope ! A disturbed, barred two armed spiral where the fuzzy arms fold back to make a ring. A #ringed galaxy.
In the center of the image are two galaxies interacting !
Sorry, no four merging stars in this image and certainly no black cloud either !
The 'massive ray' is just an optical artifact !
The yellow 'flashes' are just optical artifacts. Nothing special, sorry.
The bright object (top right qudrant) is indeed a forground star from our galaxy. And therefore it CANNOT merge with the central galaxy.
Sadly, no merger here in this image. The object in the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy. The software made a mistake ! 😮
Yes, could be a disturbed spiral.
Correct ! Two galaxies merging ! Nice catch ! 😄
Two disturbed galaxies.
That is a spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on. It doesn't appear to be interacting with the central galaxy. #overlap for me.
It's a disturbed spiral galaxy.
Spectacualr #merger. I see 5-6 galaxies interacting.
Not sure if the "# abc" means anything. Some people invent their own #'s.
A very disturbed galaxy (probably a spiral). 😄
No inner ring, Just a two armed spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring. A #ringed galaxy.
two-armed, barred spiral. No idea why this one would be an unknown ! 😮
???
I'd call this one an edge on spiral with a noticeable bulge. Definitely not an elliptical.
The brown line crossing the galaxy from top to bottom is a beautiful #dustlane !
The object at 8 could just as well be a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no overlap here, sorry.
Why extraordinary ? The dark dot in the centre is just an optical artifact caused by oversaturation !
Wow ! Gorgeous #merger !
#dailyzoo
No gravitational lensed images in this image.
No Einstein arc in this image, sorry.
The two stars (top left) could be close together or it could just be a line of sight !
Sorry, I don't see a yellow ray ????
It is definitely a disk but it could also be a spiral with very faint spiral arms.
The small round object is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy. S, they are very far apart.
Why tag this one as a spiral when, I assume, you classified this one as a spiral ?
While I love your enthousiasm, there is no need for example to # things like spirals or mergers. I do hope you classified it as such.
Maybe a short bar, but not that obvious.
Looks more like a two armed, big bulge, spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make (almost) a ring.
#wrong_size
Both galaxies are very disturbed so I wouldn't call this an overlap but a #merger.
Looking at the central galaxy now (it being very heavily disturbed) , there is no way to know what it looked like before ! 😄
Spectacular barred spiral, heavily disturbed.
With a galaxy this disrupted, you cannot be sure that is was an eliptical galaxy to start with ! 😄
Don't overdo it ! Both galaxies are probably interacting. Any 'dark circle' is probably an artifact.
Correct ! Both these galaxies are interacting ! Nice #merger ! 😄
Sorry, not a merger here. The bright object at 11 is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No merger in this image. The orange dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sadly not. It is just an artifact ! 😦
Galaxies CANNOT merge with foreground stars from our gaalxy. And the black circle is just an artifact, sorry.
The white square with the green margin is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation. It is most definitely not real.
Gorgeous #merger.
#dailyzoo
The red/orange trail is an artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
No need to mark it as odd.
What !! ??? Definitely not !
Just a gorgeous (disturbed) spiral galaxy !
I'd probably not classify this one as smooth. But, hey, that is just me ! 😄 Just give it your best !
Just looking at this image I'd classify it as smooth and roundish.
The green 'arc' is, sadly, just an artifact. No need to mark it as odd.
A faint and fuzzy galaxy with a couple of active star forming areas (the blue clumps).
It is just an artifact. No need to mark it as odd.
A fuzzy disk or spiral galaxy seen nearly edge on.
Maybe, not much of a distortion visible in either galaxy. Could just as wel be an overlap.
Not an off centered center but probably an active starforming region in the galaxy. Or maybe, maybe a foreground star from our galaxy.
Here in GZ we only use the # overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. Happy hunting ! 😄
I'd call that a bar ! 😄
Very disturbed spiral ! 😄
Yes, this indeed a spiral galaxy seen edge on.
The central object is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on & the reddish dot is a foreground star from our galaxy. So,no relation whatsoever
And the green and red dot at the top is an asteroid.
The central object is a galaxy. The two bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy So, definitely no merger here.
Yep, galaxy for me as wel after looking at the zoomed out image.
#wrong_size
Gorgeous #merger indeed ! 😄
The red line is an artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
Could be a foreground star ?
The coloured lines are just imaging artifacts.
Nice chance alignment ! I would have thought that the central object is a star, but it is a galaxy with a z=0.141 !
The pink spot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. So, not an overlap.
The central galaxy is a disturbed (barred) spiral. Not sure who the culprit is ! 😄
Definitely tidal debris, not sure about a polar ring.
Nope, no lens in this image. Spiral galaxies are usually not massive enough to do these kinds of lensing.
The central galaxy is indeed gravitationally disturbed ! 😄
Not sure what there is at 7-8 o clock but it is definitely not a jet. Could be a star forming area in the galaxy.
Sorry, no jet in this image !
The central galaxy does not appear to be merging with the one at 2 o'clock. Not sure what you mean with the center star ?
The dot at 8 o'clock is probably a foreground star from our galaxy, so no interaction possible.
The bright white dot is the very bright centre of the galaxy.
Neither of the galaxies look disturbed, so not a merger for me.
Both galaxies look disturbed, so #merger for me.
The green thingy is probaly an asteroid ! Nice catch ! 😄
A fuzzy smooth and round galaxy ! 😃
The red line is just an image artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
Both galaxies look disturbed, so #merger for me.
I'd probably go for #merger. Lots of disturbance, especially in the large galaxy.
It is a disturbed spiral, interacting with another galaxy outside of this image.
See the zoomed out image : http://tinyurl.com/gukpccw
This is most probably not a polar ring. #overlap for me.
See the comments below : a possible polar ring.
The object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy, so a merger is totally out of the question! 😉
No dustlane in this image for me, sorry.
Sorry, I don't see any blue rays in this image !
The blue line going through the foreground star top right is indeed an artifact.
Not sure if this a merger. The image is just too fuzzy to tell. I'd go for a disturbed spiral ! 😄
Yep, spiral for me as well ! 😄
But it is not a nebula but a real galaxy.
Sorry, the red curved line is just an artfact. You'll see a lot of these in these DECaLS images.
The red line, top right corner, is an artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
#merger is also a possibility.
Just looking at this image it's impossible to determine if the galaxies are spirals. On the other hand,they both look disturbed. #merger !
Possible #polar_ring
#merger is also a possibility.
The stripes are just artifacts. 😦

Not a cluster sorry. The bright white objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. The fuzzy yellow one at the bottom is a galaxy.
The four amber/red spots are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
Two fuzzy galaxies probably interacting ! 😄
The purple and green line are indeed artifacts.

But no way to tell if the two stars are really close together or whether t is just a line of sight.

The two objects to the left and the round one to the right are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Just from looking at this picture you cannot tell if the stars are actually close together. It could just be a line of sight.
The bright object with the spikes is a foreground stars from our galaxy. The spikes are an optical artifact called diffraction spikes.
Nope, not a nebula. Just a fuzzy (low surface brightness ?) galaxy !
I'd go for a shadow !
You can tag these images with #wrong_size.
Thanks for participating ! 😄
Sorry, just one galaxy for me.
Sorry, no lensing here. Two spirals interacting. Cool #merger !😄
Just one fuzzy disturbed galaxy for me.

Could be a #polar_ring?
Looking at the zoomed out image (http://tinyurl.com/zo5nkts) those are definitely optical artifacts.
Nope, definitely not a cloud of gas but a real galaxy with millions and millions of stars. The image is very fuzzy though !
The blue blob bottom left is probably another (foreground ?) galaxy.
Sorry, I don't see any gravitational lensing in this image. And the central galaxy is a spiral and these are usually not massive enough.
The red line is an artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
The central object is not a nebula but a real galaxy. I'd go for edge on disk or spiral.
Merger is a possibility, but so is overlap.
I'd go for #merger ! Both galaxies look disturbed. But it is your call ! 😄
Very disturbed spiral galaxy.
At least two galaxies interacting (maybe 3). Lovely #merger !

Disturbed spiral !
Two fuzzy galaxies. Could be interacting , but the image is just too fuzzy to tell.
The cenral object and the one at 10 o'clock are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy. Nice catch ! 😄
Where do you see arcs ?
The galaxy with the lens is the small one (with an arc at the top of it) at 2 o'clock from the central galaxy.
It could also be a foreground star from our galaxy. Without additional information there is no way to tell.
Merger is a possibility, the central galaxy looks disturbed. But the image is very fuzzy, so your gues is as good as mine !
Yep ! 😄
Gorgeous disturbed barred spiral !
My classification for the central galaxy would be : a disturbed spiral with a noticeable bulge ! 😄

But they do have a similar redshift, so they could be interacting and they look disturbed as well !

Although the central galaxy looks disturbed, both of the galaxies to the right are very far away from it .
It is a lovely image ! 😃
The 'ring' around the bright central bulge is probably two faint and fuzzy spiral ams that fold all the way back to make a ring.
It is a very disturbed (possibly spiral) galaxy.
Both galaxies look disturbed, but the bottom one more so. Two galaxies interacting : lovely #merger ! 😄
The classification arc is used for gravitational lenses. No arc in this image ! 😄
The bright white objects in this image ars foreground stars from our galaxy.
Both galaxies look disturbed. So, merger for me.
Bar for me.
possible #polar_ring ?
Lenticular ? A two armed barred spiral with a big bulge, where the two spiral arms fold back to make a ring !
See the comments below : this could be a polar ring !
It is a galaxy, but it is obviously not the Milky Way ! ;D
It could be a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed. They are relatively common in these DECaLS images.
Looks like a disturbed galaxy. So, #tidal_tails.
Lenses are much more sharply defined. This one is just too fuzzy.
Correct ! Always classify the object in the centre of the image ! 😄
#wrong_size
The two objects in the centre are both galaxies. Merger is a possibility.
I'd go for polar ring too. Nice one !
Nope ! Top one is also a galaxy.
Definitely a #merger !
Not sure what you mean by bubbles& there is no dust line in this image.Most of the small round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The pale blue object at 9 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy?.
The small round objects to the left and the right of the central galaxy are both foreground stars from our galaxy. No merger here, sorry !
The small round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The green line and the purple blocs are artifacts. No need to mark them as weird.
The blue lines are just artifacts. You'll see them quite regularly in these DECaLS images.
Not sure I'd call this one an elliptical. I'd go for a fuzzy spiral with a big bulge. And there are no lenses in this image.
The bright spots are foreground stars from our galaxy, not supernovae, sorry.
The green line is just an artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
This galaxy has a z (redshift) of 0.122, so that means it is very far away from our Milky Way and Earth ! 😄
The central object is a galaxy. Some of the smaller round ones are foregrond stars from or galaxy.
Looks like it ! 😄 Nice catch !
Two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger ! 😄
Both galaxies look disturbed, so #merger for me.
Just one disturbed galaxy.
As I've said before : spiral galaxies are usually not massive enough to do this kind of lensing. There are NO lenses in this image.
The tree dots are foreground stars from our galaxy. Not lensed images frof a background galaxy.
Why do you call it a spiral if you can't see spiral arms ? And I don't see any arcs in this image.
The two dots upper right are probably foreground stars from our galaxy. No arcs in this image
The green and the red line are artifacts. Could be cosmic ray hits that didn't get removed.
Wow ! Amazing #merger !
#dailyzoo
Skyserver saysthe object to the left is a galaxy, but I'm not so sure. Looks like a star to me. So not a merger and not an overlap.

Just one disturbed clumpy spiral.
The colored line and the pink spot are just artifacts, sorry.

Not sure if I would go for irregular. Disturbed barred spiral would be my choice !
The two bright white spots are probably foreground stars from our galaxy, sorry.
The green dot is definitely an artifact.
The green dot in the galaxy at 5 o'clock is an artifact. Possibly a cosmic ray hit.
The "barre" could be a foreground edge on galaxy.
The object to the left is a foregroun star from our galaxy.
It's an imaging artifact.
No lens here, sorry. The central galaxy is heavily disturbed and probably interacting with the spiral at the bottom. Nice #merger !
Yep ! See the comments below ! 😄
The small bright dots are not supernovae but star forming regions in the galaxy.
Sorry, no gravitational lens in this image. The small round dots are foreground stars from our galaxy. Nice chance alignment.
Nope not a nebula, but a real galaxy.
Looks like another galaxy. No way to tell whether it is a foreground or background galaxy without additional information .
Sorry, no gravitational lensing in this image. Spiral galaxies are usually not massive enough to do any lensing ! 😄
The round white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The green smudge is probably an asteroid. And I'm not sure I'd call this galaxy an elliptical. The bulge is rather prominent.
I'd go for a barred, two-armed spiral galaxy. The spiral arms are really faint and fuzzy though !
It might look like a binary star system but it is two real galaxies with millions and millions of stars.
The three bright white objects are foregeround stars from our galaxy.
#wrong_size
The green spot is an artifact.
The small red dot bottom left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The red line is indeed an artifact.
Btw, overlap means just a line of sight: so galaxies that appear to be close but are just in the line of sight.
Not sure what you mean by overlap ? Both galaxies are obviously disturbed (and they have the same z) : so, a big resounding #merger for me.
What do you mean with the different colors ?
I'd go for a two armed (maybe barred) spiral with an inner ring.

Not sure why you would call the central galaxy a lenticular. Disturbed spiral for me.

The galaxy to to the right of the central one seems to be a background galaxy. Anyway, a lovely three-way #merger ! 😄
I think he means the yellow object at the bottom. It's a foreground star from our galaxy.
#merger for me ! 😄
That is defintitely a possibility ! Nice catch !
#wrong_size
It's a fuzzy galaxy, You could go for disturbed spiral or either an irregular.
The object int he centre is a disturbed galaxy, probably interacting with the small edgeon to the right. Nice #merger !
#wrong_size
An amazing disturbed galaxy.
See the comments below, it is a real galaxy ! 😄
Yep, we tag these 'faulty' images with #wrong_size
Happy hunting !😄
The fuzzy thingies at the bottom are just optical artifacts. See the zoomed out image.
Nope, it is probably just a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not a galaxy pulling itself together (how could that be), but a galaxy disturbed by another galaxy.
Yep, irregular for me too !
Gorgeous ! 😄
Two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger.
Looks like a #ringed galaxy to me : a two armed spiral galaxy, where the arms fold back to make a ring.
The blue smudge at the bottom is probably an asteroid.
Simply amazing ! 😄
#dailyzoo (again)
The red line is just an artifact. Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.

The fuzzy red/round objects could be foreground stars from our galaxy

Lots of red objects in this image ! 😄 The red line is just an optical artifact.
More like a disturbed spiral galaxy to me ! 😄
Sorry, I didn't see the comment from May, but the bright blue object , top right, is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
If you think it has a bar, it cannot be an elliptical. Ellipticals are smooth and featureless.
What about a disturbed fuzzy spiral galaxy?
They both have a z = 0.048 and they both look slightly disturbed. #merger for me.
Yep, the central galaxy is a barred spiral.
Yep, definitely a spiral ! 😄
The small round object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is a juxtaposition décalée (just a line of sight).
The black spot is an optical artifact.
That is just not possible. It is a line of sight.
It's just a line of sight. The star is a foreground star from our galaxy and the central galaxy is very, very far away.
Where ?
Not much distortion visible in either galaxy. It could just be a line of sight.
It could very well be a spiral, but if you see no features, click on smooth.
The central object is a spiral galaxy. The mauve line is an artifact, probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
Sorry, not a pulsar. The central galaxy could be a possible polar ring galaxy or it could be interacting with the smaller one at the bottom
Sorr, not a comet, but a fuzzy irregular galaxy with an active star forming region (the blue area at the bottom)
Nope, not a supernova, but a foreground star from our galaxy.
Where do you see a voorwerpje ? The central object is a fuzzy galaxy.
According to Skyserver the lower bright round object is a galaxy, but it and its companion look like a foreground stars to me.
The central galaxy looks already disturbed, so it is interacting with the two on the left.
Nice #merger ! 😄

Three galaxies, probably interacting ! Nice #merger ! 😄
Nope not a nebula. This is a real galaxy. And the tiny blue line at the bottom is an artifact.
Artifact, sorry !
Just that : artifacts ! 😄 Probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed completely.
Not an explosion (and not a lens either). Two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger !
Not an explosion. It's two galaxies, but the image is a bit fuzzy . So it is not clear if they are interacting or just appear to be close.
The central object is a disturbed galaxy.
the object in the centre of the image is a real galaxy. But the color is not real. Looks like a filter problem.
Yes, definitely a spiral galaxy.
Why couldn't you classify it as a spiral ?
Sorry, I don't see it.
No gravitational lens in this image, sorry.
The two small round objects are probably foreround stars from our galaxy.
Sorry, I don't see a gravitational lens around the central galaxy..
#wrong_size
@elsie22 : definitely a face on barred spiral galaxy .
Every classification is valuable !😄
I can live with that classification! ;D
I don't think your house is big enough ! 😄
😄
The small round object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
So, no merger possible.
Happy hunting ! 😄
Not sure, could be a foreground edge on galaxy.
I'd go for a barred disturbed spiral seen face on with two faint and fuzzy arms.
It's two galaxies interacting. Nice #merger !
#wrong_size
Not a gas cloud but a severely disturbed galaxy.
#wrong_size
Very disturbed galaxy. Not sure if it is a spiral.
There appears to be two cores in this mess. #merger for me.
The image is just too fuzzy to tell ! I'd go for no dustlane, but it is your call ! 😄
I'd go for a fuzzy two armed spiral , where tehe spiral arms fold back to almost make a ring !
Nope, not a cloud, but a real (fuzzy) galaxy with billions and billions of stars ! 😄
Oh yes ! 😄
Yep ! 😄
I just see one (very disturbed) galaxy, so no merger for me.
It is a fuzzy image, so it is not easy to see any disturbances. I'd go with overlap myself.
Lovely artifacts. See the zoomed out image : http://tinyurl.com/jp7bprh

I'd go for a loose two-armed barred spiral. The small round objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
No dustlane in this galaxy for me;
No idea why you would think this could be an edge on ! 😮
And you cannot see the bar in an edge on galaxy, because it is seen edge on.
Isn't it just ! What a gorgeous image ! 😄
Definitely not ! At these distances it is not possible to see individual stars in other galaxies, let alone individual planets !
Or disturbed spiral/disk galaxy seen edge on ?
#wrong_size, but what a gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Artifacts!
The green line and purple dot are (sadly) just artifacts ! 😄
Do you have a spectrum ?
Barred spiral for me, maybe slightly disturbed.

The bright object, top right, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts.
The central object is an irregular galaxy.
The small round object, left bottom corner, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Looks like it. Lovely #merger
Green line = cosmic ray hit.
Cosmic ray hit.

The black spots are just artifacts. Sorry, nothing special.
I'm looking very hard but I can't see a dustlane in this image !
It's possible that both these galaxies are inteacting. #Merger in porgress?
All mergers look bizarre ! ;D
No gravitational lensing in this image and most of the small round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
No gravitational lensing in this image.
The central galaxy is indeed a spiral and these are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
Just one galaxy here for me. The small round one at the bottom left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, no Einstein cross in this image
The central galaxy is a fuzzy spiral. Sorry, no gravitational lensing or merger in this image.
PS : The "ray"is an optical artifact. It is a diffraction spike (Tx wiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike)
Sorry, but the star (right) is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is completely IMPOSSIBLE for it to interact with the central galaxy
I see a fuzzy, disturbed spiral in the SDSS image.
This happens when galaxies are gravitationally interacting. Nice #merger and tidal debris! 😄
See the comments below ! 😃
Yep, inner ring for me too ! As for the number of spiral arms : just give it your best shot ! 😄
Wow ! Amazing #merger !
Not sure about a pseudoring. The galaxy is seen almost edge on !
I know what you mean !
Happy hunting ! 😄
Probably a satellite trail.
Not so much an edge on but a bar in an otherwise fuzzy galaxy.
Both the colored lines are just artifacts. (sorry ! )
Erm, no ! The central object is a barred spiral galaxy. The small round objects are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
Disturbed spiral or disk seen edge on.
Spiral with an inner ring.
The colored stripe is an optical artifact partially obscuring the foreground star from our galaxy
The green object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy, but the color is not real. The green line is just an artifact.
Probably ! 😄
Two-armed barred spiral for me as well. The blue dot could be a foreground star from our galaxy or else a star forming area in the galaxy.
Fuzzy spiral seen nearly edge on.

I really wouldn't call this one a spiral. Looks smooth and round to me & probably interacting with the smaller one at the top.
Nice #merger.
Definitely a bar here for me ! Nice catch ! 😄
Nope ! It's a real (but very fuzzy) galaxy.
But it is a real galaxy with lots of stars in it. The yellow dot at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Click on "Galaxy Zoo examine" under the image and then on "DECaLS Skyviewer" to the right. 😄
The red line is a satellite trail.
That is not a jet but probably a background galaxy. The spectrum identified it as a QSO.
QSO= Quasi Stellar Object or Quasar.

Sorry, I don' see a lens in this image.
Yep! #merger for me ! Nice catch ! 😄
The bright round, white objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
No gravitational lens/arc here. The fuzzy area around the central bulge could also be two spiral arms folding back to make a ringed galaxy.
A very fuzzy barred (maybe) spiral galaxy for me ! 😄
The bright spots are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
So sorry, but those black spots are just artifacts!
You could go either way. It is your call ! 😄
Both galaxies look disturbed and they have the same z, so #merger it is ! 😄
The central galaxy is definitely disturbed and both galaxies have roughly the same photoz, so merger is a possibility.
Erm, here in GZ we only say it is an overlap, if it is a galaxy/galaxy overlap. Foreground stars from our galaxy don't count as overlaps.
Definitely ! 😄
Maybe it is a disturbed spiral or else it is a very disturbed elliptical. It is your call ! 😄
A beautiful two-armed barred spiral where the arms fold back to almost make a ring.

And the object at 3 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy, so a merger is just impossible.

The red line could be a satellite trail but it could also be a cosmic ray hit.
Yep, fuzzy spiral for me as well. And just give it your best guess as for how many arms there are.
The blue clumps are probably star forming regions in the galaxy.
Oh wow ! What a gorgeous #merger ! (definitely not an overlap ! 😄 )
The red line is just an optical artifact and can safely be ignored ! ;D
The purple straight line and the red squigly one are both optical artifacts.
The central object is a disturbed galaxy. The round white object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The straight colored lines are optical artifacts and can be ignored. Sorry, nothing spectacular !
The white circular blobs are foreground stars from our galaxy, so no merger possible with the central galaxy.
The 2 galaxies in the centre look like they are interacting,so a #merger for me.But they are overlapping the edge on in the back.Cool find!

All the small round objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
If you think it has a ring and a bar it cannot be an elliptical. Ellipticals are smooth, meaning that they have no features whatsoever !
Sorry, definitely not an elliptical ! I'd go for a barred two-armed spiral with a big bulge.
The central object is a galaxy, but the small round one to the left is a foreground star.
Or disturbed spiral.
The purple and yellow lines are optical artifacts.
The bright blue/white object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
A very disturbed spiral galaxy ? 😉
What does "tide bleach" mean ?
Nope not a comet as it is visible in the exact same location in SDSS.

Nope ! Definitely not a lens. It is a very disturbed spiral galaxy ! 😄
Definitely not ! The central object is probably a galaxy, but the two bright ones to the right are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Two ellipticals, probably merging. And why would you mention rings ? Do you see rings ? I don't !!!
I'd go for a ringed galaxy, meaning a spiral galaxy where the two arms fold back to make a ring.

The small round object to the right is probaby a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no merger possible, whatsoever ! 😄
You should always classify the object in the centre. So, great job!
As for the bright object , that's a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not sure what you mean by that. The central object is a very disturbed barred (spiral ?) galaxy.

If it is a disturbed spiral it is bound to have tidal tails ! 😄

I'd go for a disturbed barred spiral ! And why would you say that this galaxy doesn't have a centre ?
The purple and green bar is just an artifact. Not sure what you mean by the black dots, sorry !

There are at least two galaxies in the centre of the image, but the image is too fuzzy to tell if they are interacting. No dustlane here.

With these ellipticals it is very diffifult to say if they are just overlapping or if they are interacting. I'd go for #merger.
Overlap is a possibility, but the central galaxy looks disturbed, so #merger is also one ! 😄
I'd probably go for two interacting galaxies with features (as opposed to ellipticals). But hat a gorgeous #merger ! 😄 ! Nice catch !
Wow ! Nice catch ! This galaxy has a very active centre ! And there is lits of tidal debris as well !
The object in the centre is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. But 99% of the people classifying this image will go for edge on ! 😄

Three galaxies probably interacting. Nice #merger ! 😄
The two bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.

Don't think so. The central object is possibly a spiral and these are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
A barred two-armed spiral. And you're right : the arms are very faint and fuzzy.
The two white/turqoise objects to the left are foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors are not real (artifacts)
What a beautiful mess ! 😄
I'd go for features - not an edge on - no bar - no spiral - no bulge - other : irregular.

And spiral galaxies are usually not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
Neither of the galaxies look ellipticals to me. Disturbed spirals.
The central object is indeed a spiral. The object top left is an overexposed foreground star from our galaxy The colours are not real.
Arc in GZ means a gravitational arc, so definitely not an arc. Disturbed spiral for me.

They both have similar z's, but there is not much distortion visible. But merger is still a possibilityy.
The green line is an artifact. They are quite common in these DECaLS images.
The red line is an artifact.
Not sure what the problem is? For me this is probably a fuzzy spiral.
Nice one ! 😄
Correct. The red line is indeed an artifact.

The spiral classification has already been recorded in the original GZ classification.
Anyway, happy hunting !

Yes, you are very good at tagging spirals. But do you realize that your exra tagging does not have an added value ?
Where is the star ? 😮
Really nice #merger ! 😄
The central galaxy is probably interacting with the galaxy to the left. This is(for me)a first where both #overlap and #merger are correct!
Yep ! Or some of the 'clumps' could be foreground stars. (I'm looking at the one at half past 8 just to the left of the centre)
The green spots and beam are just optical artifacts.
I'd probably go for two galaxies interacting.
Always classify the object in the centre of the image. So here that would be the small edge on galaxy.
Nice ! 😄
The bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Both galaxies look disturbed, so #merger for me.
The central object&the one to the right are both galaxies.The orange round one &the bright white ones are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nice #merger too !
The object in the centre of the image is a galaxy. The one to the right is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Correct ! 😄
See the comments below : the purple line and dot are both artifacts.
I'd go for disturbed spiral, but it is your call !
Just one disturbed galaxy in this image.
The central galaxy is certainly very disturbed, but the little black spots are just optical artifacts, sorry ! 😄
The image is a bit fuzzy but a three way merger is certainly a possibility.
So sorry, but the blue line is just an optical artifact !
Happy hunting ! 😄
Yep ! Sometimes the software makes a mistake. Just classify ths one as star/artifact and move on to the next image ! Happy hunting ! 😄
The bright white object in the centre of the image is a foreground star from our galaxy. So no merger here.
Out of focus stars from our galaxy. Lots of filter and imaging problems.
Two galaxies, probably interacting looking at the distortions! 😄 #merger for me.
#wrong_size
Could be a merger, could be an overlap.
Two fuzzy spiral arms.
Yep ! Looks like artifacts to me.
Lots of interaction going on. Nice #merger
Two galaxies interacting. #merger
Wow ! #merger
Beautiful #merger
The object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy. So there cannot be any interaction betwen it and the central galalxy.
If you see three arms, you should mark that.
Oh yes ! 😄 #merger
Fuzzy barred spiral for me.
The central object is a very distuberd spiral.
#wrong_size
The central object is a disturbed galaxy.

No disturbances visible, so not sure about a merger here.
The weird line and dead pixel are just artifacts ! 😦
Gorgeous #merger !
The green and purple stripe is an artifact.
Just artifacts.
Where ?
Est-ce que tu peut reformuler ça? 😄
Disturbed spiral for me ! 😄
Correct ! The colored lines are just optical artifacts.
Not sure this is a merger. The one in the centre looks like a foreground star to me.
Very, very, very disturbed spiral. ;D
Those two bright objects at the bottom are foregound stars from our galaxy !
Happy hunting! 😄

RA and dec are located top left, under Search By. That way you can check Skyserver, NED and SIMBAD
1/2
As a work around : take a note of the RA and Dec and put them in one of the older pics (eg http://tinyurl.com/zf25jmc)
Looks like just one galaxy, so I'd go for disturbed.
I'd go with foreground star. Not a merger for me.
Yep ! 😄
The round one to the right is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no merger here.
The bright white round object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The 'distortion' is just an optical artifact (i.e. not real)
I'd go for merger, since both galaxies look disturbed.
With elliptical galaxies it isn't always easy to see if they are interacting. But a couple of them look disturbed, so merger for me as well.
Most of the objects around the central galaxy are foreground stars from our galaxy. So there is no interaction possible whatsoever ! 😄
At least two galaxies merging ! Impressive ! 😄
Sorry, no. That is just an artifact.
The central object is definitely a galaxy.
The small round objectto the left is a foreground star from our galaxy, so no interaction possible between it and the galaxy in the centre.
Yep ! Nice catch! 😄
Loose, two-armed spiral with a big bulge and a dustlane.
Dustlane for me as well !
The central object is most definite a galaxy ! The black dots are just optical artifacts ! . No need to mark thel.
Please, be more specific. What do you think is an artifact in this image?
If you can see features it is most definitely not an elliptical galaxy. I'd go for a spiral with two fuzzy/faint spiral arms.
Three galaxies merging ! Nice catch ! 😄
Congrats ! You found an asteroid ! 😄
@iTz4theWorld
That is up to you. If you think you see tidal debris, you should mark it.
You can have a spiral galaxy with tidal debris. This just means that the galaxy is disturbed by another galaxy.
Actually, in this image, the central object is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, the correct answer is star/artifact.
First of, I don't think these two are merging. And second : you don't have to click on any of the options.
2/2
The colours, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts.

The colorful spiky object to the left of the central galaxy (which you are supposed to classify) is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Lots and lots of imaging and filter problems. 😄
But is is definitely a galaxy ! 😄

But my guess is that most people will classify the galaxiesbehind it. So the classifications will be all over the place ! 😄

Always classify the object in the centre of the image.Unfortunately here this is a forground star from our galaxy.
Not sure if they are merging. The one in the centre looks a bit disturbed, the one to the left doesn't. It could just as well be an overlap
Two ringed galaxies (spiral galaxies where the two arms fold back to make a ring).
The purple dot and purple line are just optical artifacts.
Or #lenticular ?
They both look slightly distured and they have the same z, so #merger for me.
Ooh ! Nice one ! 😄

Lenticular galaxies are sometimes called "armless spiral galaxies." Lenticular galaxies have a central bulge, but no spiral arms.

I'd go for a two-armed barred spiral.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Did you get this image to classify today ?
Sorry, no gravitational lensing in this image.
This is a star from our galaxy, but there are a lot of filter and imaging problems. The colors are not real.
The black dot is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
It's an artifact.
The blue/black bar is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
Maybe merger, maybe not. These ones are very interesting because they will generate a whole lot of different classifications 😄
Tout a fait ! 😄 (Yep, definitely a barred spiral)
LOL ! We aim to please ! 😉
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/artefact 😄
The 'purple thing' ( 😉 ) is an artefact.
Not an edge on for me.
A very disturbed spiral for me. Probably merging with the little one at the bottom.
No gravitational arc in this image, sorry !
Looks like it !
See the comments below, it is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Possibly.
Have you looked at the zoomed out image ? Definitely a #merger ! 😄
I'd probably go for two very disturbed spiral arms.
#wrong_size
The bright object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.The blue bar in the centre is an artifact caused by oversaturation
The bright object in the left corner is a foregeround star from our galaxy. Nothing special, sorry ! 😄
Both the spikes and the 'red cloud' are just optical artifacts ! 😄
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it is impossible for it to have any effect on the (very, very far away) galaxy.
Slightly disturbed spiral ?
Nice one ! 😄
The central object is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy. (Sometimes the software does make a mistake ! 😉 )
Looking at the distortions in both the galaxy, it is definitely a #merger.
Skyserver says it is a galaxy, but it looks like a foreground star to me.
Nope, the central oject is definitly a galaxy. Probably merging with the larger one to the bottom right.
Could be an overlap ! 😄
Most of the small white dots are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
But the star is a foreground star from our galaxy, so it cannot be the cause of the disturbance ! 😄
Sorry, that is just not possibe. The distances are just too great.
Nope ! Starburst.
Looks like it, yes.
See the comments below. The red line is a satellite trail.
The bright round objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Not stars but galaxies merging.
In this case, just click star/artifact ! 😄
Just classify as star/artifact and move on! 😄
#wrong_size (as well ! )
The bright object bottom right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one. 😄
Disturbed barred spiral.
Spiral for me too !
Looks like a fuzzy two-armed barred spiral to me.
Could be an overlap.
Both the objects in the center are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Merger is a possibility.
The black spot and the pink ray are both artifacts.
That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact)
The object in the center of the image is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and black bar are all optical artifacts.

The purple thingy, bottom right, is indeed an optical artifact. No dust here ! 😄
The orange object at the bottom is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
No need to tag stars as they are of no importance.
Thanks for participating and happy hunting ! 😄
What about a barred spiral ! 😄
Nope ! Here in GZ we use the hashtag overlap only for galaxy/galaxy overlaps !
Or disturbed ! 😄
Nope ! Probably a foreground star from our galaxy in the line of sight !
Probably star forming areas in the galaxy.
Yep ! 😄
The green bar is (unfortunately ! 😉 ) just an optical artifact.
The bright greenish/white object is a foreground star from our galaxy (btw, the colors are not real !)
Please only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. Tx ! 😄
The bright object, bottom left, is a foreground star from our galaxy and the blue dot is just an optical artifact.
Please, only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps.
If you think it has a ring , it cannot be an elliptical. Ellipticals are totally featureless.
See the comments below ! 😄
A fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it ! 😄
Yep !
Unfortunately, it is just that : an optical artifact. It happens ! 😄
It's a foreground star from our galaxy.
It's two galaxies, probably interacting. No dustlane here.
The central object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, white spikes & blue/black bar are all optical artifacts.
That is just an artifact ! You can see quite a lot of them in these DECaLS images.
No gravitational lensing in this image. It is two galaxies interacting. Gorgeous #merger !
Happy hunting! 😄
Always classify the object in the centre of the image.
But here you can safely click star/artifact ! 😄
Without additional information (redshift) impossible to tell if these galaxies are actually close or if this is just a line of sight.
The three round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. Nice chance alignment ! 😄
The object top right could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
The round object in the centre is not a foreground star from our galaxy but another galaxy overlapping the other galaxy.
The red lines are not jets but just artifacts.
Without additional information no way to tell if it is another galaxy or a foreground star from our galaxy.
That is just an artifact (unfortunately ;D ).
Again two galaxies interacting.
Probably two galaxies interacting.

While techincally the foreground stars are overlapping the galaxy this is not an overlap.
I'd go for a barred, two-armed spiral, where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring.
Sorry, gravitational lenses/arcs are much more defined. This is a fuzzy, disturbed spiral galaxy.
No ring for me sorry !
Not sure if I'd mark this one with a bulge though ! Looks pretty bulgeless to me.

The central object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, white spikes and blue bar are all optical artifacts.
According to Skyserver (SDSS) this is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Correct ! The central object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No jet here, definitely an artifact (sorry)
Nice find ! x 😄
Two galaxies, definitely disturbed ! 😄
Not sure about the dustlane, sorry.
Or a fuzzy spiral ? 😉
Just looking at this image, I'd say no merger.
The clumps are probably starforming areas in the galaxy.
Not sure about a dustlane.
As for seeing the bigger picture : click on Galaxy Zoo examine and then on DECaLS Skyviewer and voila ! 😄
No obvious interaction visible, so not a merger for me.
Great pic ! 😄
But, please, always classify the object in the centre of the image !
Happy hunting! 😄
Just one galaxy for me.
Not sure this is a merger. Could be just line of sight.
😄
merger for me as well.
Both galaxis have the same redshift and both look disturbed, so I'd go for #merger .
The object int he centre of the image is a forground star from our galaxy. The two galaxies appear to be interacting.
The object at the bottom is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Just a thank you @bluemagi for consistenly tagging images with #wrong_size ! x 😃

Not sure what you are referring to ? If you mean the dark line, that's just an artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
No gravitational lensing in tis image. The galaxy is a disturbed barred spiral.
No comet in this image, sorry !
I wouldn't go for merger here. Neither of the galaxies look disturbed.

More like a disturbed galaxy. For starters, the arc or lens would have been a different colour than the central galaxy.
I'd personally would go for a three armed spiral here.
Just answer the questions as well as you can and your classification will be invaluable ! 😄
Happy hunting !
The object at 7 could be another galaxy. But I don't see it overlapping the central one.
It's a simulated galaxy from the Illustris dataset. The blue patches are star forming areas in the galaxy.

I would have gone for a two-armed spiral seen nearly edge on.
Not a dust cloud but a simulated galaxy from the Illustris data set. The blue patches are star forming areas in the galaxy.

Not sure I'd go for polar ring. Just looking at this image it looks like an ordinary barred two-armed spiral to me.
Here in GZ overlap is only used for galaxy/galaxy overlaps.

The two yellow galaxies could be interacting. The blue one is probably a foreground galaxy. So we could have a #merger and an #overlap ! 😄
The bright white object with the purple centre is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and weird centre are optical artifacts.
Oops ! The classifications for this image will be all over the place ! 😄
Since the small object at 11 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy, neither.

The central object is a disturbed (maybe spiral) galaxy. The 'green' object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Tidal debris means aftermath of a collision or merger.
The two bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the spiral features are very obvious ! Elliptical means no fetaures whatsoever. 😄
I would not call this one an elliptical at all! There is a very distinct bar, two spiral arms and a bulge ! 😮
As far as I understand it the white/yellow dots are extreme star forming areas.
Maybe you could give some directions ? Just saying there is a WD in this image is very confusing, especially for new zooites.
Where ? The object in the centre of the image is obviously a galaxy. 😄
Skyserver calls it a galaxy but according to NED the object at 10 o'clock is a star. I tend to agree with NED. So, no merger for me.
What about a disturbed barred spiral ? Just classify what you see ! 😄
Could be an asteroid.

First of, just answer the questions as well as you can !
Strange word to use here ! Do you have an explanation for this ? Just curious !
The object lower right could just as well be a foreground star from our galaxy. Without additional info (z) there is no way of knowing !
The structures are far too massive to be jets ! Looks like a very disturbed galaxy or two (or more) galaxies in the act of merging.
Nice catch!

Two galaxies merging ? 😄
Could you give us the ID's, please. That would help a lot. Tx
Oops ! That shouldn't be happening ! You are not supposed to get the same image twice ! I'll alert the science team.
Or two spiral arms folding back to make a ringed galaxy ! 😄
No gravitational lensing here, sorry. The blue clumps are star forming areas in the galaxy. See : http://tinyurl.com/nm6qnky

The "pea" does not have a flat spectrum with a high OIII peak. So, I'm thinking it is a very active star forming area in the galaxy.

The green line is probably a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed. The orange/red line could be a faint satellite trail.
One of the 'cores' could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not sure that is a dustlane.
A supernova is only visible for a couple of weeks. So a SN from 2010 cannot possibly be seen in an image from 2014.
Just to avoid confusion : The DECaLS observations began in August 2014, so the SN is not visible in this image.

See the comments below: just three stars in a row. No asteroid here.
Not a polar ring, sorry.

I'm also leaning towards a foreground star (but that is just me ! 😉 )
The bright round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.

The red line is just an optical artifact !
Both galaxies look disturbed, so #merger for me.
Looks like a disturbed spiral galaxy with a couple of star forming areas (the blue smudges). The small edge on at 10 is probably an overlap.
Probably.
#size_wrong
It looks like there might be an inner ring. Lots of tidal debris.
You could go for a very disturbed spiral or else an irregular. Just answer the questions as well as you can.
The blue smudges at the end of the spiral arms are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The coloured lines are optical artifacts.
The blue spot is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation
Loose two-armed spiral.
The object, right edge, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and "black disk" are all optical artifacts.
Not sure I'd call this a merger. Just one disturbed galaxy for me.
Not sure why you think this would be two galaxies It is a spiral galaxy with two spiral arms.
Not a lens, sorry. The blue smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy.
It's NGC 2420, an open (galactic) cluster.

The bright object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. And if it is a star it can only be foreground !
The blue smudges are indeed star forming areas in the galaxy.
Definitely a #merger ! 😄

Yep ! 😄
SDSS says it's a galaxy, but I'm not convinced. The round small object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
I'd go for spiral arm at the top.
The object in the center is definitely a galaxy. The one at 9 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object in the bottom right corner is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Please, always classify the object in the centre of the image. Even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
Beautiful #ring !

The object at 1 o'clock is a foreground star. So, I wouldn't call this an overlap.
Most definitely a spiral ! 😄
The object top left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts
The blue smudges are star forming areas in this galaxy. Gorgeous #ringed galaxy.
The blue/black spike is just an optical artifact. And the central object is a foreground star from our galaxy.

The object in the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and black/blue spike are all optical artifacts.
The blue spots are star froming areas in the galaxy. The galaxy could be classified as disturbed or even an irregular.
The small orange object at 7 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. Here in GZ we only use the # overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps.
The object in this image is a bright foreground star from our galaxy. The colours, spikes and black spike are all optical artifacts.
The green line is an artifact (sorry!) 😄
Definitely a very disturbed galaxy ! Looks amazing !
Slightly disturbed spiral galaxy. The 'gasses' are spiral arms containing lots and lots of stars !
But it is definitely an artifact !😄
The blue smudges are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
Ooh, not a good image at all ! 😄
The object in the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy and then you have the big back stripe !
The lines through the centre are indeed artifacts. And the bright object top left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Really not sure what you are referring to. The central galaxy in this image is so small and fuzzy, I'm thinking anything is noise !
What anomaly are you referring to ?
Face on disk for me. Why would you say this is not a galaxy seen face on ?
Disturbed galaxy. No lens here for me.
See the comments below : two galaxies interacting.
The white object with the pink centre is a foreground star from our galaxy The colours and weird centre are optical artifacts.

Not for me. But if you see tidal debris pleae mark it as such.
No dust here.The blue 'ring' is a lot of star forming areas in this galaxy.
Nope, just a bright foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are just optical artifacts.

Not sure if all three galaxies are interacting. Not really that much interaction visible.
Most of the small round objects in this image are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
The red lines are just artifacts, sorry !
Do you mean the two round objects ? They are foreground stars from our galaxy. No merger here, sorry.
The green object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object in the centre is a fuzzy galaxy. The red glow is an artifact caused by a bright star outside of the image.
Nothing odd here, just the software messing up ! 😄 Two stars getting in the way ! 😄
Classify as star/artifact.
I wouldn't say this is a classifc pea. Peas have a very flat spectrum with a high OIII peak.
The object in the centre looks like a two-armed spiral to me. So the blue streak would be the space between the centre and the spiral arm.
Breathtaking indeed ! What a gorgeous merger ! 😄
Happy hunting!

Gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Most of the faint and round objects in this image are forground stars from our galaxy.

A very disturbed galaxy, probably interacting with the one in the bottom left corner. So,my vote goes to merger as well.
The object at the bottom is probably a foreground star from our galaxy and here in GZ we only use the # overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps
Both galaxies look disturbed, so merger is definitely a possibility ! 😄
I suppose you mean the purple line. That is just an optical artifact.
Sorry, but this is definitely a galaxy. The blue smudges are star forming areas in the galaxy.

Wow ! Well done Illustris ! 😄
The galaxy at 2 o'clock looks disturbed as well, so is probably merging with the other two.
That looks like a spiral arm to me.
The central blue fuzzy object is not a nebula but a galaxy. The bright orange object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Really difficult to tell. I'd go for two galaxies but really not sure if they are merging or overlapping. It is your cal ! 😄
The image is a bit fuzzy, so very hard to tell. It is your call ! 😄
That is probably a satellite trail.

Yep, disturbed spiral works for me ! 😄
I'd go for a disturbed barred spiral with star forming areas (the blue clumps).

Nope ! 😄 The central object is a disturbed spiral or disk galaxy seen edge on.
The small disturbed edge on is in the center of the image. The white round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not sure if I can see two spiral arms.But it defintitely looks disturbed.
Please, always classify the object in the centre of the image. Here that is a smooth galaxy, probably interacting with the two higher up.
If you think you can see spiral features then you should classify it as a spiral. And it definitely looks disturbed.
The blue dots in these Illustris images are star forming areas in the galalxy

No spectrum (as far as I can see), so how do you know this is a pea? (just curious)
Ooh ! Nice find ! 😄

The object at 5 o'clock is another galaxy. It could be overlapping or it could be interacting with the central galaxy. It is your call ! 😄
This is an Illustris image and here the blue dots are star forming areas in the galaxy.
The red glow at the bottom is an optica artifact caused by a bright foreground star from our galaxy.

Hi Ian
Merger means that the galaxies are interacting. Overlap means that they are not physically close but just a line of sight.

Skyserver is seriously confused here ! It labels this one as a star but then it has a redshift of 0.038. So definitely not in our Milky Way

I'd go for a seriously disturbed spiral, with lots of star forming areas. But hey, that is just me ! 😄
The bright round object top left is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy.

Both major galaxies look disturbed. It seems that we have some interaction going on ! 😄
Btw, I do hope that you classified the objec in the centre of the image !
The bright white object at the bottom of the image is a foreground star from our galaxy. The color&weird centre are all optical artifacts.
It is just a fuzzy galaxy. The 'dark area' is just an artifact

I'd go for a two-armed spiral where the spiral arms fold back to almost make a ring.
Not sure what you mean with black stain object.The central object is a disturbed spiral with e of star forming areas (the blue smudges)
I'd go for a disturbed, very loose, two-armed spiral.
The blue smudges are star forming areas in this galaxy. No gravitational lensing here, sorry !

You could go for smooth and cigar shaped. But you could just as well go for a two-armed spiral seen almost edge on. It is your call ! 😄
I'd go for two galaxies interacting. #merger for me.
The blue pixels are indeed artifacts.
Correct ! The object(s) bottom right is/are stars from our galaxy. But, please, always classify the object in the centre of the image.
Not sure if it is a one armed spiral. If you squint you can see another fuzzy spiral arm on the opposite side. Definitely disturbed.

Hi nyjtm ! I don't mind to check out for you, but did you know that clicking on Galaxy Zoo examine will give you a lot more info !
Star forming is correct, but not gasses ! The blue smudges are star forming areas in this galaxy.
They have very close redshifts, so an interaction/merger in progress is definitely a possibility.

You could go for irregular but a distuberd spiral is another possibility ! 😄
Disturbed spiral maybe ? ;D

The blue spike, bottom right corner, is an optical artifact caused by a bright star.
Sorry, I don't understand your question.
It has pointy ends. So, it is more likely to be a disk or a spiral seen edge on.
The bright spot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
It could be a merger of two galaxies. But one of the bright spots could just as well be a foreground star.

Shamelessly plugging for another project : GZ Bar Lengths : https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/vrooje/galaxy-zoo-bar-lengths/classify/ 😄
Yep, fuzzy spiral or disk.
For me this is just a very disturbed spiral with a couple of active star forming regions.
I'd probably go for two spiral galaxies interacting ! But hey, it is your classification ! 😄
And happy hunting! 😄
Definitely a disturbed spiral.
And the red object to the left is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Stars from our galaxy, but the colours are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems.
In this case, if the image is centered on a part of the galaxy, you can classify the galaxy. Slightly disturbed spiral for me.

The object at 7 o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. You incorrectly identified the centre of the galaxy as a star.
The small round orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Both the objects here are stars from our galaxy, but the colours are not real. They only appear to be touching. Definitely no merger here.
Since it is only visible in one filter, I'm thinking artefact.

These are indeed stars from our galaxy. No way to tell from just this image if they are actually close toghether or just line of sight.
It is a bad image from the edge of the survey.
Looks like an artifact to me.
Could be a foreground star.
Here in GZ we only use the hashtag overlap for galaxy/galaxy overlaps ! So, this is technically an overlap but in GZ not ! 😄
Thanks !
Not sure what you mean with spoked and dust? Would you care to explain ?
Could be a disk or a fuzzy spiral.
A barred spiral galaxy, slightly disturbed.
The green streak is a satelite trail. Probably a tumbling sattelite !

Sorry, not a gravitational lens here. It looks more like a disturbed spiral arm.
Correct, the orange round object at 6 o'clock is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Where did you find this information ?

Always classify the object in the center, even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
Here, all the objects are stars from our galaxy.
Which one ? 😄 The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a fuzzy galaxy. The smaller one at 4 o'clock is probably a star
LOL !
A couple of out of focus and overexposed stars from our galaxy ! 😄
I'd go for (maybe disturbed) spiral ! No dustlane for me.
A very fuzzy image of a galaxy. Just answer the questions as well as you can !
Here in GZ we (try to) use the # overlap only for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. Thanks for helping out ! 😄
They look like two stars that appear close together in this image as well ! 😄
Definitely disturbed. Could be the result of a fly-by.
What about the black hole in the centre ? 😄
Yep ! ;D Misalignment of the filters.

I'd go for seriously disturbed spiral. And the thing you see in the u-band is not a jet but an internat structure of the galaxy.
The object top left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy.
See the comments below : an overexposed and out of focus star.
The green smudge at 5 is not a galaxy but an artifact.
Most definitely not. The central galaxy is a spiral galaxy and these are just not massive enough to do any kind of lensing.
It could very well be a disturbed fuzzy spiral (just saying ! 😉 )
Not sure if there is a dustlane here. Could just be an optical artifact.
Oh wow, what a gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Don't classify based on colour. Just answer the questions as well as you can ! And this one will get very different classifications ! ;D

Probably just an edge on and a chance alignment. Sorry !
Yep, merger for me too ! Nice catch ! 😄
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems. No lens here !
Correct ! But obviously the colors are not real.

😄 Tx !
And it is totally addictive ! I only started 8 years ago ! 😉
Just keep the questions coming and have fun ! 😄
If you see a hint of spiral arms it is definitely not an elliptical.
Try squinting ! 😄
Definitely not an elliptical as there are some features visible. Probably a fuzzy 2-armed spiral with a big bulge.
I'd probably go for disturbed spiral. Not sure if there is a dustlane.
The image is very fuzzy, so difficult to see if the galaxies are interacting.
I wouldn't call this one an irregular. I'd go for disturbed spiral.
Without additional info it is not possible to tell if the galaxy to the right is close or not to the central one.

It's only visible in the r-filter so I'm thinking artifact or cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
If you see a bar it cannot be an elliptical. It could be a lenticular galaxy : a disk without any spiral arms but with features.

Do you mean smooth (eliptical) if you say 'globular'?
in this case I'd go for a spiral galaxy with a noticeable bulge.
If you squint a bit it liiks like this is a spiral.
Not a nebula but a real galaxy ! 😄
Nice barred spiral.
Definitely a barred galaxy with a big bulge.
It is a galaxy but this image got zoomed in too much.
#imagesizewrong
The bright round object is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no merger here ! 😄
The white dots are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Not sure what you mean with really dark in the centre ?
I see just one very disturbed spiral. No merger for me.
Sorry, this is one of the images that got zoomed in too much.
Just tag it with #imagesizewrong and it wil get removed from the database.
Just give it your best shot ! 😄
No gravitational lens or arc in this image.
No gravitational lens or arc in this image. It's a beautiful spiral galaxy.
No gravitational lens in this image, sorry. Spirals are usually not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
Sorry, no gravitationaly lens or arc in this image.
Why ? 😄
Tx ! 😄
Where ? I just see a gorgeous, barred two armed spiral.
Nope ! Just a spiral galaxy.
Lens or arc means a gravitational lens or arc.

The bright one in between is another galaxy. They do not look disturbed, so no merger for me.

The top one is a fuzzy galaxy, the bright purple dot is probably a star forming area.
Correct, both galaxies are spiral galaxies;
They could be star forming areas in the galaxy or else foreground stars from our galaxy.
http://tinyurl.com/noyqh9q
Most probably foreground star.
The bright round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry no lens here. It is a galaxy with an inner ring
Yep ! Here it is (image rotated 90°)

it is a fuzzy disturbed barred spiral. And it is indeed very far away, as are all the galaxies in these images ! 😉
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. No gravitational lensing in this image.
And we finished these images weeks ago. How did you get to classify this one ?
It IS your call ! ;D
There'is never a "star" in the centre of a spiral galaxy. The center is called a bulge and it is made up of loads and loads of stars .
This looks very much like a face on to me !
If you squint really hard, it could just be a disturbed spiral, with two small edge on's overlapping.
See : http://tinyurl.com/pcyxmyy
Both galaxies look very disturbed. Merger for me too ! 😄
I'd probably go for a two armed loose spiral . But hey it is your call ! 😄
If at all, only slightly ! :°
Where did you get this image ? 😄
We finished these weeks ago !
Disturbed spiral, not an irregular for me.
two arms and very loose. Fairly obvious.
What is the difference between an interacting pair and a merger ?
#imagesizewrong
Could be a star forming area in the galaxy or a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be a lenticular.
No gravitational lens here. Spirals are usually not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
The ring is made by the two spiral arms folding all the way back.
The "arcs" are faint spiral arms
Image zoomed in too much
#imagesizewrong
Not really a ring here. We have two spiral arms that fold back to make a ring.
Technically that is a #ringed galaxy ! 😄
Looks like a two-armed, barred spiral with a big bulge to me.
Definitely no (gravitational) lens here. Spiral galaxies are usually not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
No, don't say that ! These images in just one band are very valuable for the scientists to see how our classifications change !
If you squint, you can see a fuzzy/disturbed spiral.
Not smooth at all and definitely no (gravitational) lens here, sorry.
It's a fuzzy barred two-armed spiral.
The bright areas in the galaxy are active star forming regions.
Lovely barred spiral with two fuzzy arms.
Image zoomed in too much.
#imagesizewrong
#imagesizewrong
No lens effect here. What you see is two galaxies interacting and getting distorted in the act. Lovely #merger.
Probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
The bright white object to the left of the center of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Those knots could be active star forming areas in the galaxy.
You could go for irregular or maybe even a very disturbed spiral. It is your choice.
Galaxy at the top is a disturbed edge on galaxy. The central galaxy is not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
This is one of the images that got zoomed in too much.
Here's the zoomed out (color) image. http://tinyurl.com/n9tyr23

In case you are wondering : here's the zoomed out (and rotated) image : http://tinyurl.com/oxujxd8
This is one of those images that is zoomed in too much. Just give it your best shot and tag them as #imagesizewrong.
I'd go for a disturbed one-armed barred spiral.
Definitely a bar and the spiral arms seem to start from the ends of the bar
The outer "ring" is actually the two spiral arms folding back to make the ring.
The blue and green spots are cosmic ray hits that didn't get removed.
And as Capell05 said : we finished these Hubble images weeks ago.
This is actually a two armed spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring.
Not sure if these galaxies are interacting. It could be a line of sight. #overlap
The bright object top right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a fuzzy spiral. Not sure if it is interacting with the small one to the right.
These are brighter areas at the end of the bar (see the full color image http://tinyurl.com/pqom9wk). & we cannot directly see a black hole.
I can see what you mean but this is most definitely a galaxy. 😃
See the (rotated) color image http://tinyurl.com/oaxqwt5
Disturbed two-armed spiral with a hint of bar. 😃
Just one galaxy here. I'd go for disturbed spiral.
Spiral for me too !
Not sure I'd call this one smooth. It appears to have a bar.
And why do think it has 3 black holes ?
Or it could be a disturbed barred spiral.
Lovely spiral with lots of star formation going on (the white clumps).
Definitely not an elliptical. I'd go for fuzzy two-armed, barred spiral.
The bright round object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
But it is definitely a galaxy ! 😄
In the center of the image is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Or #barred, #ringed, and two spiral arms that fold back to make an outer ring. 😄
Not much of a distortion seen. I'd probably go for #overlap.
Are you referring to the bright round object at 3:30 ? That is a foreground star from our galaxy
Here's the full color image : http://tinyurl.com/pzh848u
Most definitely a galaxy. The bright spots are not stars but active star forming areas in this gorgeous spiral galaxy.
Not sure what your question is ?
It's a disturbed two-armed spiral for me.
The brighter spot at 2 is probably an active star forming region in the galaxy.
The lower bright spot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not sure what your question is, sorry !
The 'ring' is made of the two spiral arms folding back to make a ring. It is called a pseudo-ring. Lovely pic ! :d
2/2
Looking at the full color image : http://tinyurl.com/o6us3jw (image flipped), it is definitely a star forming area in the galaxy.

Just looking at this single band image it could be either another galaxy overlapping or a star forming area in the galaxy.
See the comment below : The bright spiky object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not really a boxy bulge.Barred, two-armed spiral for me..
Don't forget #spiral ! 😄
And not a boxy bulge, sorry.
Or fuzzy barred spiral ! 😉
The bright spiky object bottom left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Definitely ! 😄
meaning ? 😄
Oh, but it is definitely a galaxy. It it just so fuzzy because this image is just in one filter.
Just give it your best shot ! 😄
To determine if they could be supernovae you'd need a before and after image.
These dots are most likely foreground stars from our galaxy.
That is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright round object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The fuzz is not related to the star & is probably another faint&fuzzy galaxy.
This is a galaxy but it got zoomed in too much.
#imagesizewrong
I see one very defined arm and a fuzzy one (but, hey, that is just me ! 😉 )
I'd go for a very fuzzy spiral, not sure how many spiral arms. But hey, that is just me ! 😄
Yep, we've got a couple of those. Please mark them with #imagesizewrong and we'll get them resized ! 😄
This is a two-armed spiral with an inner ring. Nice catch ! 😄
If you mean the straight black line, that is indeed an artifact.
The central object is indeed a galaxy, but the bright round one is a foreground star. So, definitely not a merger.
The central object is a fuzzy barred spiral. The bright round object at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger here.
Or a barred two-armed spiral (slightly disturbed ?)
Looks like a barred spiral with an inner ring. maybe slightly disturbed,
Defintely not an Einstein ring.
#imagesizewrong
Looks indeed like a spiral but the image is zoomed in too much.

Definitely star formation ! Looks gorgeous ! 😄
Yep, that would be my classification as well ! 😄
The two bright patches are active star forming regions in the galaxy. See the colour image : http://tinyurl.com/ose7eup
Probably ! 😃
Oops, don't think so! This is a fuzzy barred two armed spiral, slightly disturbed !
Gorgeous ! 😄
On the other hand, if you squint really hard, you can see two very faint spiral arms. And they are folding all the way back to form aring

The small object below the central galaxy could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright object, top of center, is a foreground star from our galaxy.

Both the galaxies in this image are seriously disturbed.They are obviously interacting.Whether they will be merging? Only time will tell !
I'd go for a two-armed spiral.
The spots are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.

This is a great example of how classifications can vary with the different bands or combinations of them.

But just looking at this image, merger also looks a possibility.
It is just one galaxy, with two starforming areas on either side of the center.It is obvious in the color image ; http://tinyurl.com/nl7aoqv

First of : where did you get this image ? In this run of GZ we just have single band images.
That is probably an artifact.
Definitely a galaxy. I'd go for a barred two-armed spiral.
Galaxy looks indeed disturbed, but no obvious culprit in the neighbourhood. Could be the result of a fly-by.
Yes, I'd go for fuzzy spiral too ! 😄
With these kind of distortions merger is a safe bet ! 😄
That is just it : a bar ! 😄 This is a lovely barred spiral.
See wiki for more info : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barred_spiral_galaxy
If you squint really hard (my favorite scientific method), you can see a fuzzy and disturbed two-armed spiral. 😄
Definitely barred. Not so sure about the ring or the starforming bit.
The object to the left of the central bulge could be another galaxy, overlapping, or it could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central object is a barred (two-armed ?) spiral.
The object on the lower arm s another galaxy. It could be an overlap or it could be interacting.
Artifact. It's where the different fields got stitched together
The "M" is an optical artifact caused by the bright star at the bottom.
Loose-armed barred spiral.
The central object is a barred spiral. The smaller round dots are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The smaller round objects are almost all foreground stars from our galaxy. At these distances it is impossible to see planets
I'd go for a very disturbed barred spiral galaxy with a very large active starforming area at the top: Don't overdo the classifications !
Perfect ! 😄
The object, bottom right, is indeed a star from our galaxy. The colors,spikes & rings are all optical artifacts. No supernova here, sorry !
The central object is a fuzzy/disturbed spiral. The small object to the right could be part of the central galaxy (disturbed spiral arm)
No nebula in this image. the blue spot, right from the centre, is an active starforming area in the galaxy.
You could always go for irregular.
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it, sorry !
The smaller object top right is not a star but another galaxy.
You could go for a fuzzy disturbed edge on interacting with the galaxy to the right.
Definitely not an elliptical. It is a fuzzy spiral with a very active star forming area (the blu stuff)
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image ! 😄
Happy hunting !
The sbright spiky object is aforeground star from our galaxy.
The object bottom right is inded a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and rins are all optical artifacts
Not gas clouds but a real galaxy. These galaxies are incredibly far away and at these distances it is not possible to see individual stars.
The bright object,op right, is a star from our galaxy. The computer mistook the diffraction spike for an object. Classify as star/artifact.
The bright blue and green dots are artifacts. They are cosmic ray hits that didn't get removed.

There's probably a much more mundane explanation: eg:the central galaxy is a disturbed galaxy & has nothing to do with the one to left.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'green hoops'. The bright green splotches are cosmic ray hits that didn't get removed from the image.
The bright green spot is an artifact. It's a cosmic ray hit that didn't get removed.
It might look like a comet (sort of) but it is a real galaxy ! 😄
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Here that is a fuzzy edge on galaxy. The bright dot is probably a foreground star.
Fuzzy irregular galaxy. Not smooth.
Always classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! 😉 )
Definitely. I'd go for disturbed spiral.
Both galaxies look disturbed, so merger is a possibility. On the other hand the images are fuzzy. But it is your call !
With these fuzzy images, distortions are not very visible. But merger is a possibility. It is your call ! 😃
I'd go for disturbed fuzzy spiral as well.

the straight line is an optical artifact (diffraction spike) caused by a bright star outside of this image.
No gravitational arc in this image, sorry ! It is a fuzzy spiral with, probably, a very active star forming area (the blue clump)
I'm not saying this cannot be a two armed disturbed spiral. I was just commenting on the now deleted comment of 'boxy spiral'

Not really (for me) ! just a very fuzzy and faint galaxy. 😄
See the comments below : the sharp edged splotches are cosmic ray hits that didn't get removed from this image.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this really is a galaxy. 😄 The blue clump is an active star forming region in this irregular galaxy.
Not really overlapping for me. And both galaxies look disturbed, so merger is a possibility. But in the end it is your call ! 😄
Nothing exploding in this image. The central object, that you are supposed to classify, is a fuzzy galaxy, possibly a spiral.
Start with 'features' and then say no to everything. At the end at 'anything odd' click yes and then click 'irregular'. 😉
Yep, definitely another galaxy. But, please, always classify the object in the center of the image. 😄

The spiky object, bottom left, is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
The line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star oitside of this image.
No lensing in this image. These galaxies are irregulars or disturbed spirals and these galaxies are not massive enough to do any lensing.
The round object could still be the center. This galaxy looks very disturbed.

If you squint really hard you can see a barred two armed spiral.
Most people will pick the disturbed barred spiral as the central one.
Or just one clumpy galaxy.
Looks like cosmic ray hits that didn't get removed.
See the comments below:it's a foreground star from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the filters/imaging.Classify as star/#artifact

Correct ! The spikes are diffraction spikes (optical artifacts) caused by a bright star outside of this image.
Just click star/artifact and move on to the next one ! 😃
These ones are probably also cosmic rays. I just label them optical artifacts, because that is what they are in these images.
Usually cosmic rays get removed from the images before they are served up for classification. Only, sometimes the clean-up software fails.
The pinkish/purple and green thingies are cosmic rays that haven't been removed.
Let's make that two nice galaxies ! 😃
This is actually a star from our galaxy. 😃

The bright object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. Thhe colors, spikes and rings are all optical artifacts.
What an amazing spiral galaxy ! 😄
Weird irregular galaxy ! 😄
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact.
Sorry, the green specks are artifacts.
This is what some stars look like in these Hubble images. The colors, spikes and rings are all optical artifacts.
Not much distortion visible, bu then again it is a very fuzzy image. It is your call ! 😄
Merger is a possibility. It is not easy to tell with these fuzzy images.
That is a diffraction spike (optica artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this image.
Fuzzy disturbed spiral for me.
Looks like it.
Not a nebula but a fuzzy galaxy.
Probably a starforming region in the galaxy.
Fuzzy spiral in the center. The orange round object could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
I'd go for a spiral or for a clumpy spiral ! It is your call ! 😄
Clumpy spiral or something ? No dustlane here for me, sorry.
LOL ! That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this image.
Could be a diffraction spike caused by a bright star outside of this image.
Truly beautiful image ! #zgotw
The red and green confetti are just optical noise ! End of the chip artifacts ! 😄
The green sharp edged blobs are just artifacts, sorry.
Clumpy irregular ? Merger ?
The bright spiky object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
The green and blue confetti ? Yep, artifact ! 😄
I'd definitely go for edge on - no bulge 😄
The green spot is probably a cosmic ray that didn't get removed.
And that is what GZ is all about about ! 😄
It is already a Hubble image ! They don't come any nicer than this ! 😄
looks like the filters were misaligned.
Not sure. The color is weird.
Looks like a faint and fuzzy galaxy to me.
Oh no ! The horror ! 😄
What do you mean ?
Could even be three or more galaxies merging !
The fuzzy greyish green object in the center is a galaxy. The brigthly coloured thingies with the sharp edges are optical artifacts.
The 'honey comb' look is an optical artifact.
Wow ! Nice one ! :😄
Looks like it ! 😄 Just click star/artifact and hopefully the next image will be more interesting ! 😄 Happy hunting !
Yep, star from our galaxy! 😄
This is probably a star from our galaxy.
Two galaxies for me. Not interacting .
The green dot is either an artefact or a cosmic ray that didn't get removed.
The bright object top right ?
That is indeed a star ! The colors, spikes and rings are all optical artifacts.
I'd go for a vey disturbed barred spiral.
Looks like a 'spiral' with an active nucleus ! 😄
Oh wow ! amazing ! 😄
Agreed, it is a very fuzzy galaxy. Just give it your best shot ! 😄
This is actually a star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes, rings and weird center are al optical artifacts.

The brightly coloured thingies are artifacts. And you are supposed to classify the object in the center of the image.
The bright green & blue sharp-edged thingies are artifacts.The fuzzy blue object in the center is a galaxy as is the fuzzy object top right.
The object in the center is one galaxy (disturbed spiral) . The small round object at 10 is another galaxy that could be interacting.
All the objects in this image are real galaxies. 😄
I'd go for spiral.
Sorry, I don't see a lens either.
Beautiful barred spiral (not a nebula)
And, please, always classify the object in the center of the image even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes, rings and weird center are all optical artifacts.
No gravitational lensing in this image. Merger of two clumpy spirals.
The brightly coloured dots with the sharp edges are artifacts.
The straight line running through the galaxy could be a diffraction spike.
Really amazing ! Here's the SDSS image : http://tinyurl.com/otdnuyu
Could be, but the image is very fuzzy.
The bright object is probably a foreground star.
Just out of curiousity: did you get this image to classify just now ?
Interaction is a possibility, but then again these images are rather fuzzy . It is your call ! 😄

Are you talking about the bright object at the bottom ?
If I squint really hard, I can see a fuzzy spiral with a couple of star forming regions ! 😄
Wow, just wow ! 😄 #zgotw
The colouring is right for a lens, so maybe ! 😄
The ring is an inner ring of the galaxy. No lensing here.
No lens problem here. Definitely a nice merger ! 😄
This indeed a foreground star from our galaxy, but the colors,spikes, rings and 'hole' are all optical artifacts.
For some objects (like this one) there is not much more to tell than smooth and the shape. Just answer the questions as well as you can! 😄
That is not a nebula but a beautiful galaxy with active star forming regions (the blue clumps)
The brown circle is a dustlane that circles the galaxy.
Sorry, it is just an artifact.
Do you mean the bright object at the top? That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes & rings are all optical artifacts
While there is probably a black hole in this galaxy, it is not possible to see them.
The colorful object is indeed a star from our galaxy The colors, spikes and rings are all optical artifacts.
Correct !
The bright colourful object, top right , is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, rings & spikes are all optical artifacts.
The bright yellow dot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Beautiful image ! 😄
It is not an artifact, but a galaxy. Just answer the questions as well as you can.
Probably another faint galaxy.
Interaction is a possiblity.
Just one galaxy for me.
I'd probably go for merger for this one.
Correct. This is what stars can look like in these Hubble images.
Could be but with these fuzzy images it is very difficult to tell.

You will always need at least a before and after image for it to be a SN. 99,9% will be just foreround stars.
Oooh, nice catch ! The asteroid is the blue/red/green object at the right side of the image.
Just one galaxy. it looks distubed, but no obvious culprit in sight !

The multi-colored objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. The colors are just optical artifacts.
The central object is most definitely a galaxy.
A disturbed fuzzy spiral with a big bulge for me.
No meteor in this image, sorry . Where do you see one ?
Sorry, this is most definitely not a galaxy. It's an out of focus star with lots of imaging and fiter isssues.
Without additional information no way to tell that these galaxies are interacting.
It is probably a fuzzy two armed, barred spiral where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring. It is actually called a #ringed galaxy.
Not sure if there is a dustlane here.
You could go for disturbed fuzzy galaxy.
The white object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central object is a galaxy, but the 3 to the left are foreground stars from our galaxy. It is just a chance alignment.
This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems. Classify as star/#artifact.
I see a very disturbed spiral galaxy. Definitely not a gas cloud here ! 😄
The central galaxy looks a bit disturbed, but I'm not convinced this is a merger. So merger or overlap ? It is your call ! 😄
Both the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Lots of imaging and filter problems. No interaction here, sorry.
The blue "shadow" is an optical artifact. At these distances it is impossibme to see planets.
All the objects in his image are stars from our galaxy. Lots of imaging and filter problems. Classify as star/#artifact.
Probably ! 😄
Nope ! The blue object is a (or two) foreground star from our galaxy,, so it is most definitely in front of the central galaxy.
2/2
so it is definitely not connected to the central galaxy. Just a line of sight !

No dustlane here. The bright round object(bottom right) of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy.
I just see a two armed, barred spiral with a smallish bulge, sorry.
All the objects in this image are star from our galaxy. Lots of imaging and filter problems.Classify as star/#artifact !
Hapy hunting ! 😄
That is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Happy hunting ! 😄
Could be overlap, could be merger, with these smooth galaxies it is not easy to tell.
The bright dot at 8 is only visible in one filter so i'm thinking artifact. And here in GZ overlap is only used for galaxy/galaxy overlaps.
The dark spot in the center is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify a star/#artifact.
The bright object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
The central object is defintely a galaxy. You could go for disturbed barred spiral or alternatively for irregular.
LOL ! 😄
It is a piece of the Cosmic Scarf ! 😄 See the very zoomed out view : http://tinyurl.com/oykqecl
That is one way of classifying it. You could also go for disturbed barred, two-armed spiral. It is your call ! 😄
The galaxy cannot be in front of the star ! All the stars we see in these images are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The two red dots are optical artifacts.
The orange colouring in the star is just an optical artifact.
These two could be interacting, but with these fuzzy images it is not easy to tell. It is your cal ! 😄
The bright one to the bottom is a foreground star. And the one at the top could be a satellite galaxy or it could just be a line of sight.
The blue dot, bottom right corner, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The darker dot in the center & to the right are optical artifacts.
Nope, it is a very real galaxy. I'd go for irregular for this one.
It could go either way : not much distortion, but that doesn't mean they are not interacting yet.
No jets here ! See the comments below : it is a very beautiful polar ring.
I'd go for a disturbes spiral seen edge on.
I just see one disturbed spiral.
The central galaxies look disturbed, so merger is definitely a possibility ! 😄
This is most definitely a galaxy. Unfortunately it is a very fuzzy one ! 😄
See the comments below ! 😄
I'd go for a barred, two-armed spiral with a very small bulge. Maybe a little bit disturbed.
The bright orange object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems.

Without additional information (spectra) no way to tell.
All th eobjects in this image are sars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems. star/#artifact
The green dot is only visible in one filter so it is probably a cosmic ray that didn't get removed
Beautiful ringed galaxy. There s just one galaxy here, so no merger.
Always classsify the object in the center of the image !
Happy hunting ! 😄
All the objects in this image are most definitely stars from our galaxy ! 😄
No lens here sorry. This is actually a foreground star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems.
LOL ! Have you checked this thread ?
Oops, one of the bad images, usually found at the edge of the survey ! . Just classify these as star/#artifact.
Happy hunting ! 😄
Why ?
That is just an optical artifact, caused by oversaturation.
Sorry, that is probably just another galaxy . It is too far away from the central galaxy to be a gravitationaly lensed galaxy.
Probably an optical artifact, sorry.
What an amazing #merger ! 😄
Without a spectrum, no way to tell, sorry.
Why ?
This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Just classify as star/#artifact ! 😄
The fuzzy stuff is probably two faint spiral arms.
Nope ! The central object is a very real galaxy ! 😄
It is a very fuzzy image and not much distortion in either galaxy. It could be two totally unrelated galaxies or it it could be a merger.
Or it could be two galaxies with very bright cores, interacting. The image is very fuzzy. Just give it your best shot ! 😄
Very disturbed indeed ! 😄
This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Something went very wrong with the imaging and filters.
That is indeed a star, but it is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object to the right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The dark spots are just optical artifacts, sorry.
This is definitely a star from our galaxy ! Lots of imaging and filter problems ! 😄
What is your question ? 😄
Where is the overlap ? Both of the galaxies are very far apart !
Not sure about this being an overlap. The top galaxy especially looks really disturbed. I'd go for interaction. #merger.
And what a gorgeous dustlane it is ! 😄
Where's the satellite trail ?
Yep ! All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
This is a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems.
This is a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. The dark spot in the center is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.

Beautiful barred disk galaxy.
smooth and in between for me.
I'd go for smooth and round
All the objects in this image are out of focus stars from our galaxy or artefacts.
Could be a disturbed spiral.
Very prominent bar ! Nice catch ! 😄
I just see a fuzzy two-armed, barred spiral. Nothing special ,sorry.
So, how did you classify it ? 😄
A very short one ! ;D
It is probably a spiral, but it is just too fuzzy too tell.
I wouldn't call this one smooth ! I'd go for a fuzzy tight two armed spiral with a noticeable bulge, maybe even disturbed.
It is probably a fuzzy spiral with a very noticeabe bar.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Lots of imaging and filter problems.
The central object, which you are supposed to classify , is a galaxy. The other objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
There seems to be some problem with the SDSS site. I'll try later.
You have to look at the coordinates. Here 's the quasar : http://tinyurl.com/myyur6v
Sorry, I don't see a satellite trail in this image.
And, please, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it it is the most boring one ! 😄

No voorwerpje here, sorry. Did you see my previous comments ?
Most definitely a star with lots of imaging and filter problems ! Classify as star/#artifact 😄
I see a fuzzy two-armed spiral. No bulge, I agree.
Where ? Voorwerpjes have very bright colors : see this thread from the old forum : http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=275838.0
Again, all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact. 😄

The blue dots are active star forming areas in this irregular galaxy. No voorwerpje here, sorry.
Sorry, I don't see it. 😦
The object in front of the galaxies is probably a foreground star, not an asteroid.
It's a disturbed barred spiral.
The central galaxy looks distorted, so there could be some interaction going on.
I'd go for a disk or spiral seen edge on, no bulge, slightly disturbed.
Yep ! 😄
I'd go for barred, but that is just me ! 😄
What do you mean?
These are just bad images from the edges of the survey . Classify as star/#artifact !
😄
Yeay ! You found a piece of the Cosmi Scarf ! (see the very zoomed out image http://tinyurl.com/op9f8pc)
This is actually a star from our galaxy but the color isn't real. Some major filter problems.
Classify as star/#artifact !

No dustlanes here, sorry .
Oops, no merger here, sorry. The two reddish objects are foreground stars from our galaxy, so no merger possible.
Great edge on galaxy with a big bulge.
No dustlanes here, sorry.Just one disturbed galaxy.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, so definitely no merger here , sorry !
Spiral galaxy : definitely. Dust lanes : I don't see any.
Erm, foreground stars would be correct ! 😄
I'd go for a fuzzy disturbed spiral.
Definitely a spiral, slightly disturbed.
The bright orange dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not much distortion visible, I'd go for line of sight ! 😄
Or maybe out of focus stars ! :d

Not a merger and not a super nova, sorry ! The bright object top right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Happy hunting ! 😄
Just one galaxy for me, no merger here , sorry.
There seems to be some interaction going on. #merger is a possibility.
A fuzzy galaxy. Looks disturbed.
I'd say yes ! 😄

In the zoomed out image (http://tinyurl.com/pke8h3v) the distortions are more noticeable, so they are interacting.
Definitely an edge on with a big bulge. The darker dot in the center is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
@7kasper : In the zoomed out image (see next post) you can see that other objects have the same red glow. it is an optical artifact.

Maybe !
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. So, nothing weird, just stars. 😄 Classify as star/#artifact ! 😄
Please , always classify the galaxy in the centre of the image ( so, no arms there). As for #merger : that is a yes from me ! 😄
You are looking at a spiral galaxy seen at an angle. But it could be slightly disturbed.
Definitely a galaxy (and not a nebula) ! Gorgeous #disturbed spiral galaxy ! 😄
Gorgeous #spiral ! 😄
LOL ! You are correct, this is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
You are correct in saying that all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Whether they are a star cluster is not so clear !

I see a bar and just one fuzzy spiral arm.So, that's a disturbed spiral for me.
See this thread for more weird images : http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000003/discussions/DGZ1006byh
If you see lots of objects in one image with these weird colors, they are almost always images with imaging and filter problems
Oops! Please, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
It could be a foreground star or a small galaxy or a big galaxy far in the background.Without additional information, there's no way to tell
I'd go for disturbed spiral too ! 😄
Sorry, I don't see the red you are referring to.
This is a disturbed, barred spiral, btw.
And you were very right ! 😄
Btw, all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, but the colors are not real.
Since it is only visible in one color filter (r) it is probably an artifact.
Hi ! First of, always classify the object in the center of the image.
And all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
No distortion visible, so no merger for me.
Disturbed barred spiral for me too ! :d
The spike is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by the bright star at the bottom.
The darker dot in the center is an optical artifact, caused by oversaturation
This is a two armed spiral where the two spiral arms fold back to make a ring. Technically this is a #ringed galaxy. NIce catch.
LOL ! 😄
IIt isa bad image from the edge of the survey. Lots of imaging and filter problems. Classify as star/#artifact.
Sorry, no super nova here . It's just a reasonably bright star in our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
Where ?
Not much distortion visible. Could be an #overlap.
Yep ! 😄 All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy

Two fuzzy smooth galaxies, probably interacting !
A very disturbed , barred spiral galaxy. The bright blue dots are active star forming regions in the galaxy. See the comments below. 😄

It is just that : an irregular galaxy ! 😄
Yep, gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Why do you think this is a polar ring ?
The two bright objects to either side of the galaxy are stars from our galaxy. So, they are definitely not satellites ! 😄
Giggle ! 😄
LOL ! Unfortunately it is just a bad image from the edge of the survey. Classify as star/#artifact!
Correct this is a star from our galaxy. The colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems. Classify as star/#artifact

Almost al the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Not a merger because these two objects are two stars from our galaxy. And these two stars just appear to be touching. No merger here ! 😄
The red line is a satellite trail ! 😄
And it is caused by a bright foregound star : see the zoomed out image : http://tinyurl.com/nysbq85
The reddish hue in the background is just an optical artifact.
It is a possibility, but no merger for me.
Sorry, no merger here. All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact.
Actually, all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact ! 😄
No arcs here, but some fuzzy spiral arms.
The star is a star from our galaxy, so defintely unrelated to the galaxy. No arcs here, but fuzzy spiral arms.
Both galaxies look disturbed but with these fuzzy images it is not easy to tell. I'd go for interacting, ie #merger 😄
Both the galaxes have areas of intense star formation They are probably interacting. Nice #merger.
It is a very fuzzy image, so it is very difficult to tell if these galaxies are interacting. I it is your call ! 😄
Not so much an edge on as more of a barred tight spiral. Don't see an overlap here either !
😄 These are out of focus stars with lots of imaging and filter issues. Classify as star/#artifact.
Sorry, no lensing here. The two round objects to the right are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
I think the smal blue object is also a star from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact.

The bright object, bottom left, is a forground star from our galaxy. No merger possible.
This galaxy certainly looks disturbed, but there is no other galaxy in the neighbourhood. Could be the result of a flyby ! 😄
The bright object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger here, sorry.
The blue spots are active star forming areas in the galaxy.
See the comments below : it's an out of focus star
The bright object top right is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Or it could just be a line of sight. No obvious interaction going on.
Again, why would you call this an AGN ?
Why would you tag this one as an irregular ?
Where do you see this possible voorwerp ?
The one to the right looks disturbed, so I'd say #merger for this one.
Sorry, not a green pea but a star from our galaxy. The colors are not real. Lots of imaging and filter problems; Classify as star/#artifact.

The white object is a probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Oh wow ! What a gorgeous #merger ! 😄
Not much distortion (if any) visible. i'd go for #overlap.
The red object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. The "dustlane" is probably just noise. No lens, no merger, no overlap, sorry.

Amazing image ! But please, remember to always classify the object in the center of the image ! 😄
Yep, with these distortions, #merger is a safe bet ! 😄 Nice catch !
Gorgeous barred two-armed spiral ! Happy hunting ! 😄
So, my best guess would be that it is a foreground star from our galaxy. Anyone else ? 😄
The dot is visible in multiple bands so,it appears to be something real But in order for it to be a SN you should have before&after images.
Very (very) fuzzy barred two armed spiral, where the spiral arms fold back to make a ring or a figure 8. Nice ! 😄
See the comments below : It is just one star. The colors and dots are optical artifacts.

The central object is a tight spiral galaxy. The bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The bright green objects are foreground stars from our galaxy and have no connection whatsoever with the central galaxy.
Not sure what you mean by 'coalesced into one star yet'. A galaxy consist of hundreds of millions of stars.
The green line is a satellite trail.
What do you mean with the 'red circle' ?

Could be, but there is not a lot of distortion visible. So it could be a merger or not. It is your call ! 😄
Yep ! 😄
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. Classify as star/#artifact
It is a very lovely planetary nebula, not a galaxy! 😄
Looking at the zoomed out and rotated image : http://tinyurl.com/nuyv5mm, you can see that it is a satellite trail.
First of all : always classify the object in the center of the image.
In this image all the objects are stars from our galaxy.
The green and red are just optical artifacts. Just one galaxy in the center of the image.
Please see the comments below ! 😄
The central galaxy looks disturbed. No idea who the culprit is ! 😄
It could be that the two galaxies are gravitationally interacting, but there is not much distortion visible. The image is very fuzzy.
It's a bad image from the edge of the survey. Lots of iùaging and filter problmes. Classify as star/#artifact. 😄
Why would it ?
Correct ! 😄 Always classify the object in the center of the image ! Txs ! 😄
Merger for me as well.
All the objects are stars from our galaxy. The image has lots of iimaging and filter problems. Classify as star/#artifact. 😄
This object is indeed a star from our galaxy. It is jut one object.

Most definitely not an elliptical. It's a disk galaxy or even a fuzzy spiral.
Without additional information, no way to tell if the the two small galaxies areinteracting withthe central one.
The central object is a galaxy, the 1 at 10 is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors are due to filters misalignment. No merger here
I'd probably go for fuzzy spiral.
The object to the right is probably an edge on galaxy. No lens, sorry.

Optical noise
All the brighter objects in this image have the same green artifact. Misalignment of filters.

The bright round object , top left, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The two galaxies could be merging. It is your call ! 😄
Always classify the object in the center of the image.The round dot,right of the nucleus of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No, the little yellow ball to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Definitely artificial!! All the objects in this image are actually stars from our galaxy,but something went wrong with the imaging/filtres.
Definitely not a nebula but a real galaxy. I'd go for disturbed, barred spiral. The blue clumps are active star forming regions.
And the pink dot at the top spike of the bright star is just an optical artifact !
First of, please, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one ! 😄

Definitely two galaxies,probably interacting.
The asteroid is the blue/red/green object in the lower right quadrant.

Two galaxies interacting. Gorgeous merger.
All the small round objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. So technically the galaxy is not surrounded by them ! 😄

With these kind of galaxies, it is always difficult to tell. The tell tale signs (distortions) are not that easy to spot.
Spiral : yes. Dustlane : Don't see it, sorry.
This deserves another WOW ! 😄
Here's the complete and rotated image : http://tinyurl.com/lresu99

Definitely not an elliptical galaxy. You can clearly see that this is a disk (or a fuzzy spiral).
Gorgeous #merger
WOW indeed ! 😄
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Todos los objetos en esta imagen son estrellas de nuestra galaxia.
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a galaxy,but all the other objects in this image are indeed stars from our galaxy
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. So, no green pea here, sorry !
Sorry, not a merger. The white round object is a foreground star from our galaxy.

Okay, we need a "someone was posting in this comments/discussion thingy" 😄 !
Noononono ! I didn't mean you ! 😄 There are some people tagging everything and nothing with artifact ! I just wanted to warn the newbies !
Yes, we know !!!!!
If something has been tagged before as an artifact, what is the use of tagging it a second time as such ?
Why not tag a #pn but only tag it as an artifact ?
Gorgeous spiral with lots of star forming areas (the blue clumps)
Only two galaxies visible in this image. Maybe a link to the zoomed out view ? 😄
Not sure about a dustlane. Could be the space between the spiral arms.
Why AGN ?
Correct, these two objects are stars from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters.

The central galaxy is a disturbed spiral. And these are usually not massive enough to do any gravitational lensing. No arc, no lens, sorry.
Amazing ! #dailyzoo or #ZGOTW

Looks like there could be some interaction going on. But it is your call ! 😄
The stars in these images are from our own galaxy, so they are always in front of the galaxies.
I'd go for two spiral arms as well.
Definitely a galaxy in the center of the image.
Definitely not smooth and round but a nice barred, two armed spiral.
The 3 objects in this image are indeed stars from our galaxy. No merger here.
I'd go for #merger
The two white objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
Disturbed spiral, but no obvious culprit in sight
definitely disturbed spiral ! 😄
A faint and fuzzy irregular galaxy.
The reddish dot near the centre could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
The red dot is only visible in one filter. I'd go for artifact.
No distortion, I'd go for overlap too. But it is your call ! 😄
The central object is the yellow fuzzy galaxy. The bright white one almost in the center is a foreground star from our galaxy.

And even if it was two stars (which I don't think) there is no reason to think it is a binary. Could be a line of sight thing.
Looks like just one star to me. Not a binary, sorry.
The colorful line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this image
These two objects are stars from our galaxy, but somthing went wrong with the imaging/filters.
The colorful glow is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
If it has pointy ends it is more likely to be a disk or spiral seen edge on. 😄
I'd probably go for disturbed, but, hey, it is your call ! 😄
Two galaxies do not make a cluster in my book, sorry !

The blue clumps are star forming regions in the galaxy.
The red object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Correct. The two white objects are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
The colorful object in the center of the image is one star from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters.
The 3 objects in the center are indeed stars from our galaxy. But they only appear to be touching. No merger here. Nice chance alignment.
Definitely not a nebula but a real galaxy.

Or just a fuzzy spiral where the arms fold back to make a ring ! I'd go for a ringed galaxy.
The bright white objects are indeed stars from our galaxy.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. The orange/red one is a fairly bright star too !
Overlap is actually only used for galaxy/galaxy overlaps. Here all the objects are stars from our galaxy. No overlap, sorry.
All the individual stars you see in this images are stars from our galaxy. So, by default, they are all in front !!!!
Not a merger ! The white object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy
Could be a merger. But the image is really fuzzy.
Correct. The stars are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Correct !
Yep ! 😄
Fuzzy galaxy with some very active star forming regions (the blue clumps)
The central object is definitely not a star but a real galaxy.
There could be some interaction going on, but the image is very fuzzy. So, hard to tell !
Sorry, no merger here. These two objects are stars from our galaxy that only appear to be touching.
And if lots of people make conflicting classifications, it will alert the science team that something strange is going on ! 😄
In this case it is fairly obvious (to me) that it is a two armed spiral. But anyway, it is your call !
Defintely edge on. Two armed spiral seen almost edge on ! .
A tip : if it has pointy tips it is almost certainly an edge on ! 😄
Could be merger of two or maybe overlap. Not much distortion !
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy
Could be two galaxies interacting. The blue clumps are active star forming regions.

Two galaxies, probably interacting.
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Here you could go for merger or for irregular.
A fuzzy galaxy with maybe a very active center
No visible interaction ! I'd go for almost overlap ! D

Definitely NOT a merger. The object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
why would you think this is an AGN ?

Nope, it is green because something went wrong with the imaging /filters. This is actually a star from our galaxy.
Optical artifact ! 😄
The central object is a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
The object at the top is a spiral galaxy. And you are correct, that one will probably turn up in another image ! 😄
Lovely #merger of two galaxies.
The blue dot at 2 is a foreground star from our galaxy.
In the center of the image is just one object. Probably a very fuzzy spiral.

The two bright orange objects to the right of the central galaxy are both foreground stars from our galaxy.
The bright blue object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
fuzzy spiral for me too ! 😄
The green trail is probably a satellite trail
Always classify the object in the center of the image. In this image, all the objects are stars from our galaxy.
Lots of interaction going on in here ! 😄 Here's the SDSS image (rotated) http://tinyurl.com/p64dslb
The red smudge is an optical artifact.
Correct, the blue/green object is an artifact. Looks pretty though ! 😄
i would've gone for merger, but disturbed does the trick as well ! 😄
Definitely an artifact. No idea what causes it though ! 😄
The blue and the green dot are artifacts. Could be cosmic rays that didn't get removed.
Gorgeous merger.
Correct, the bright blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
That is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
This actually a star from our galaxy but the colors are not real. More weird images here : http://tinyurl.com/GZartifacts
Misalignement of the filters
The bright bllue object to the right isa foreground star from our galaxy.
A faint and fuzzy galaxy
The bright object, bottom right, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Hi themondo, the bright blue object, top right quadrant, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Amazing merger of these three galaxies.
it actually looks as if this is one galaxy. Very disturbed, though!
A really, tiny maybe ! 😄
The green/blue thing, bottom right corner, is a foreground star from our galaxy. the colors and weird center are optical artifacts.
That is not a jet. In Skyserver it is more obvious that this is a merger. The 'jet' is a tidal tail.
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Really not much more to say about it ! 😄
Very disturbed galaxy. Here's the zoomed out image from SDSS : http://tinyurl.com/q2t7j3m (the green blobs are foreground stars)
The green dotted arc/circle is an optical artifact
The two colorful dots are optical artifacts.
Very disturbed galaxy. The "arc" is too fuzzy to be caused by gravitational lensing
Lovely 2-armed spiral
The green thingy is probably an artifact! (sorry)
the bright blue object at 2.30 is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Don't worry annparker. Every image will get looked at by at least 40-100 people, so any mistake won't make a difference.
Not sure, could be an overlap.
Good call. Looks amazing though ! ;D
Just a disturbed galaxy for me.
It looks like there could be several galaxies involved, but I'm not convinced
The two orange/yellow object at the top are both foreground stars from our galaxy. No merger here, sorry.
The object to the left is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. So, there is no interaction possible, whatsoever, with the galaxy.
That is definitely an artifact. No idea what causes it, sorry.
No way to tell from just this image. No distortion, so no merger for me.
Some distortion, merger for me.
The green eyes are watching us ! 😄
Sorry, the green circles are artifacts. No idea what causes them.
The greenish circle is an artifact.
The smaller object is another galaxy. Not sure if it is a merger, could be an overlap.
It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
Not much distortion. Overlap for me too.
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy. I'd go for edge on.
The colorful glow and the spike are optical artifacts caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
Here's what wiki has to say about it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barred_spiral_galaxy
I'd go for fuzzy spiral.
The central object is indeed a spiral with possibly three arms.
Evil eye AND red doughnut ! 😄
The central object is a galaxy, but the other ones are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
Correct, all the objects here are stars.
features, not an edge on, no bar, no spiral, bulge, odd : yes, disturbed would be my classification) ! 😄
AGN according to SIMBAD
The greenish circle to the right is indeed an artifact.
All the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Definitely a #merger for me ! 😄
Hi Martin, of course you are free to record if the galaxy is CW or ACW, but we do not classify this any more.
Hi Tsourakla, the green circle is an optical artifact. Looks cool though ! ;D
Whatever you see it is definitely not planets ! At these distances it is impossible to see planets !
The bright blue dot to the right is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Or maybe even 3 stars. As we know, Skyserver sometimes gets it wrong ! ;D
Don't think the other galaxy is behind. It could be to the left of the central one. Looks like a very messy #merger.
This is actually a star from our galaxy, but the colors are not real. More info here :

If you see UKIDSS under the image it is from the UKIDS Survey and the images are in the infrared.
The stripe is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
Good call ! The blue object to the right is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy !
This could be a barred spiral. No arc.
It is very hard to see in these infrared images.
The other 'nucleus' could be a foreground star from our galaxy.
Hi Raya016
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image.
Happy hunting ! 😄
The bright thingy, top left corner, is actually two foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts.
Two galaxies; the central one has a very bright core. The one to the right is severly distubred

It looks just like a fuzzy two-armed spiral to me. There are clearly two arms.
i'd go for disturbed spiral myself. The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be a foreground star or could be an artifact.
the greenish object at 2 is an optical artifact. No idea what causes it though ! 😄
Definitely a galaxy (not a gas cloud). I'd go for disturbed, barred spiral.
This is an image in infrared; the colors are very strange. This galaxy has a very active core (AGN ? )
Artifacts, sorry.
Disturbed edge on ?
If you see UKIDSS underneath the image it is an infrared imaged from the UKIDS Survey. The colors are strange ! 😄
Which object are you referring to ?
The bright blue dot is indeed an artifact.
I wouldn't, but that is just me. If you think it is odd, then you should mark it. 😄
Not really.
Nope, sorry. The three objects here are stars from our galaxy that appear to be close together
The dark dot in the center is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
Some of the smaller objects are other galaxies. Most of them are foreground stars from our galaxy. Not connected to the central galaxy.
Those dots are all optical artifacts. No idea what causes them, sorry.
This one has a redshift of z= ~0.115
It's a faint and fuzzy galaxy.

The object at 9 is another galaxy. Without additional info, there is no way to tell if they are actually close to each other
The object in the center is not a star but a galaxy.
I would go for an irregular (but that is just me).
The coordinates are underneath the image (RA & DEC)
Neither, it is a birhgt star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all opical artifacts. And please, mind the language. Tx
Another faint and fuzzy galaxy. Another irregular for me.

No idea what causes it, sorry !
Thisi s actually a star from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are all optical artifacts. No debris flying ! 😄
It is an infrared image of a faint and fuzzy galaxy. Making it appear even fainter and fuzzier.
Yes, it is a Seyfert 1 galaxy, meaning it has a very active center (AGN).
Always classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one).
The blue object, top left, is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this image

Definitely ! Nice, two-armed, barred spiral.
The bright round dot at 6-ish is a foreground star from our galaxy. And so is the smaller bright dot at the bottom.
The green line is a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
Sometimes the software gets confused ! 😄
here it focuses on the top of the green line.
The bright blue object, top right, is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and ring are just optical artifacts, no supernova here
Do you mean the two smudges to the right ? Those could be faint gaaxaies or maybe even foreground stars from our galaxy.
Very ! 😄
That said, this is one of the most spectacular stars I've seen in these images. 😄
The bright colorful object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
Definitely a spiral but also with a nice, clear bar.

Could be an airplane, see the very zoomed out (and rotated) image.
The dark spots are optical artifacts caused by oversaturation. This galaxy has a very bright core. It is a Seyfert1 galaxy
You cannot see if a galaxy has a bar if you see it edge on. Definitely a dustlane here.
I see 4 galaxies, some of them probably interacting. And the central one has a very bright core. Could be an AGN (active galactic nucleus)
The spiral looks distorted, so merger is definitely a possibility.
Gorgeous merger ! 😄
In this case : RA: 134.82154954, DEC: 0.99223341
The bright object,top left corner,is a foreground star from our galaxy.You can find the coordinates for the central object beneath the image

Those are the images with primarily blue/purple and pink colors.
If you see UKIDSS underneath an image, instead of SDSS , then it is an image in the near infrared.
Or could be a #polarring
The red spot in the center is an optical artifact caused by oversaturation.
Star forming areas don't appear red in the SDSS images. I'd go for foreground star from our galaxy.
More of a chance alignment. The central object is a spiral and spirals are usually not massive enough to do this kind of lensing.
Not much distortion, so I'm not sure about a merger. I'd go for overlap here.
I'd go for two armed spiral too.
The bright blue objects, in the top and bottom right corner are foreground stars from our galaxy.
gpair means a pair of galaxies. I don't find this term particularly useful.

The objects in this image are not clouds but galaxies.
The blue object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object at 2 o' clock is another galaxy. The red dots are foreground star from our galaxy.
The two purple objects are indeed galaxies. The red blob is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object at 11 is a foreground star from our galaxy, so no merger possible.
The blue object at 2 is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue object at the top is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The blue spot could be a star forming area in this galaxy.
The blue smudge in the center is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy
According to SIMBAD it is UGC 830 a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy
Looks like just one galaxy to me. No merger here.
Two galaxies with very bright centers merging.
beautiful irregular galaxy. The blue clumps are active star forming regions in the galaxy.
LOL !!!!
Sorry, that is just an optical artifact ! 😄
This is probably a barred spiral with two arms, where the arms fold back to make a ring. Technically, that would be ringed galaxy.
Yeah, it does, doesn't it ? Don't you just wish we could invoke aliens ? ;-D 😄
Star for me too ! And agree about the cool looking part too ! 😄
Telescope moving or camera moving. And big issues with the filters. In other words : everything that could've gone wrong went wrong !
Donut = optical artifact (sorry)
I'd go for merger of two ellipticals, but hey, that is just me ! ;-D
Not sure. These are infrared images from the UKIDS survey.
Sort of, the colorful glow and the spike are optical artifacts caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
The object in the center is a galaxy. I'd go for edge on with a big bulge. The bright object at 4 is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Neither can I ! Why would you expect a bulge ?
I see a very fuzzy galaxy. Irregular would be my guess.
Correct, the bright blue object, left top corner, is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Sorry, that is not the case here. The central object is a galaxy and the small blue dot to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Isn't it!The central object(which you are supposed to be classifying is a galaxy)All the other objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The object you are supposed to classify is the faint smudge in the center of the image. The only classification I can think of is irregular.
Both of the objects in the center are foreground stars from our galaxy.
I'd definitely go for (disturbed) spiral Not sure about the number of arms. But it is your call ! 😄
The blue sphere is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be. Without more info, it's really very difficult to tell. That said, the central object is definitely disturbed.
The green haze at the bottom is just an optical artifact (sorry)
The bright blue object at 12 is a foreground star from our galaxy (definitely not a planet).
At these distances it is just not possible to directly see a planet.
Nope, not a planet, but a foreground star from our galaxy. Planets are not directly visible in these images.
All the other dots in this image, including the bright one at 12 are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
I see one galaxy in the center of the image (and that is the one you are supposed to classify)
Always classify the image in the center of the image. Yes that is right, in this case that is the faintest of blue smudges ! 😄
Yeay ! (sorry) You are absolutely correct : always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
Wow !
I'd go for merger too !
Btw, the rectangle, bottom left, is an optical artifact. Origin: unknown ! ;D
The blue streak is an optical artifact. Or it could be a cosmic ray that didn't get removed from the image.
Anyway, that is also a star. So the classification : star/artifact still stands ! 😄
Nothing 'wrong' here at all ! 😄
i see a very disturbed (maybe) spiral galaxy.
Just answer the questions as well as you can.
Aaaaw ! ;-D This is actually a star, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters.
LOL ! I don't think that z is correct for the satellite trail. That will be fr the central galaxy.
Not really,all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. The colors,spikes&funky little bits are all optical artifacts. Sorry !
Nice one, isn't it ? 😄
The bright blue object (right) is not a planet but a star from our galaxy.At these distances it is not possible to directly see planets.
Definitely a merger ! Nice catch ! 😄
No stars, but three galaxies merging !
LOL ! 😄
It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
All the galaxies we see are so much further away ! ;D
All the individual stars we see in these images are stars from our galaxy. Hence, they are foreground stars.
Both these galaxies are gravitationally interacting. Merger in progress.
Sorry, the object in the center is a galaxy, the one at the bottom is a star (says NED and me too ! ;-D )
Beautiful, isn't it ? All the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nope, the blue object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy. At these distances it is not possible to directly see planets.
Yep ! 😄
The bright blue object in the bottom right corner is sadly not a voorwerpje but a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright blue object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are optical artifacts.
You could go for irregular or for a very disturbed spiral. It is your call. With these faint images, there is no right or wrong ! 😄
Not sure, I'd probably go for two disturbed arms (but that is just me). Just answer the questions as well as you can. Nice find, btw ! 😄
The bright blue object at 2 is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are optical artifacts.
Gorgeous, disturbed, barred spiral. Simply beautiful.
There could be a star in there somewhere, but most of the fuzzy blobs are galaxies. Amazing isn't it ?
I'd go for a disk or spiral seen edge on and with a noticeable bulge ! .
This could either be a disk or spiral seen at an angle (not quite edge on) or an elliptical cigar shaped one.it is your call.
Honestly ! there is very well defined edge on galaxy in the center of the image. What is too faint here ????
The bright object in the top right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and ring are optical artifacts.
I see two bulges as well. It could be a merger.
Please read the comments below ! (ps, it is a star from our galaxy)
You are correct:always classify the object in nthe center of the image (lovely dustlane). & the one at the top is indeed a two-armed spiral.

Not for me, but if you think there is, you should mark it as such. 😄
There is a white core and a red one.
There appear to be two cores, merger for me.

I wouldn't go for disturbed, but hey that is just me. Every opinion counts ! Happy hunting ! 😄
I really wouldn't call this one an edge on. Edge ons are disks or spirals seen edge on and they are very thin.
That colorful glow is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
Always, ALWAYS, classify the object in the center of the image.
Definitely an artefact, caused by a very bright star just outside of this image
This is most probably not an elliptical (they are mostly yellow) but a very fuzzy spiral.
The bright dot is indeed a star, but not a supernowa. It is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object top left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spike is a diffraction spike (optical artifact)
it could be a merger of the yellowish galaxy and the fuzzy one. The orange object is a foreground star and not connected to these galaxies
The central object is a galaxy (the one to the right is also a galaxy). The red/yellow object is a foreground star.
Not a planetary nebula, definitely a galaxy. I'd go for very disturbed spiral
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors are optical artifacts
It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
Two galaxies ! 😄
Not a cluster, but a real galaxy.
Looks more like cosmic rays that didn't get removed.
At these distances we cannot see individual stars. Looks like star forming regions to me.
Looks like a star with some imaging problems.
These colorful objects are actually stars but something went wrong with the imaging.
Could be a foreground star ?
This is actually a star, but the coors are not real (imaging artifact)
That is a bright star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
Most likely a cluster of foreground stars. Nice pic though !
Definitely all of them are stars from our galaxy. Whether they are a cluster? No way to tell from just this image
I wouldn't call this loose, you can hardly see the arms. Just very fuzzy.
The bright 'centre' is probably a foreground star from our galaxy and so is not connected to the central galaxy at all.
Sorry, can't see a red ring.

gorgeous #ringed galaxy (ie a galaxy with two arms folding back, forming a ring)
Looks like a misalignemen of some filters
Good catch ! 😄
The bright white object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Good call. That is indeed an overlapping star.
You are right: not much distortion.But this doesn't rule out a merger! & just from this image it is not possible which one is further away.
Sorry, that darker spot is just an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the core.
Those lines are image artifacts. And a star (from our galaxy) cannot be merging with a galaxy. The distances are huge ! 😄

Correct. It's not a galaxy but a satellite trail.The satellite reflects the sunlight & because of its speed it gets caught in just 1 filter.
The central galaxy doesn't appear to be massive enough to do this kind of lensing. The dots are probably foreground stars.

What is your question ?
What a gorgeous merger
Top right : that is another foreground star from our galaxy.
Looks like a foreground star overlapping a background galaxy.
Both the galaxies look disturbed, so merger is definitely an option
The bright blue object top center is a foreground star from our galaxy.
I don't think so. the only 'stars' from other galaxies that are visible in these images are novas/supernovas.
It's a satellite trail.

Not a globular cluster, but a disturbed galaxy.
Three galaxies interacting and they probably have black holes at their centers. But even if they haven't , it still looks amazing.
Could be just an overlap. The smaller galaxy doesn't look disturbed at all.
I'd go for irregular for this one.
This is indeed probably a spiral galaxy. But it is very (very) fuzzy. Just classify what you see in the central object.
This is a (beautiful) spiral galaxy and they are usually not massive enough to do any lensing visible in these images.
Nice catch ! 😄
I'm not 100% sure, but the one at the bottom could also be an asteroid. But it could also be a star.
This is a fuzzy spiral seen almost edge on.
The darker dot in the center of the galaxy is an artifact caused by the brightness of the core.
Always classify the object in the center of the image. In this case there isn't anything in the center: star/artifact is the correct choice.
It is definitely disturbed, but I can't see the culprit ! 😄
It is a ringed galaxy: a spiral where the arms fold back to make a ring.
Nice interaction ! 😃

It is not just you ! 😄
i would love to say it's an arc, but it looks like a chance alignment with an edge on. (Please prove me wrong ! 😄 )

These two galaxies are spirals and they are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
Not too sure. No lensing in this image for me here , sorry.
Nope. All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy and stars are not massive enough to produce lenses visible in these images
Aww, you poor little fuzzy blob ! 😄
this is actually a foreground star from our galaxy.
These two objects are both foreground stars from our galaxy. They only appear to be close. No merger here !
A bit fuzzy but I'd go for merger

These objects are actually stars but the colors are not real. Something went wrong with the imaging/filters.
The blue object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy overlapping the central galaxy. It is definitely not close to the galaxy.
At these distances it is not possible to see planets
The object to the left is a galaxy. The one in the middle and the one to the right are both foreground stars from our galaxy.

Looks more like spiral seen almost edge on. Definitely not smooth.
Only the top right object is a star. The two others are galaxies.
Btw, always classify the object in he center of the image
That small dot could be an artifact or a foreground star.
It's a disk or spiral galaxy seen edge on.
No merger here, sorry. The central object is a galaxy but allthe other ones are foreground tars from our galaxy.. So no interaction possible
Not much distortion, so no merger. And these two galaxies are derfinitely not ellipticals but disks or spirals.seen edge on
Could be a merger of two galaxies. Or a spectacular irregular
I see just one galaxy. Maybe slightly disturbed.
The central object is definitely a spiral seen on edge
Centrical elliptical ?? Are you sure ? Do you even know what an elliptical should look like ?
Sorry, no merger here. all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy and they only appear to be touching !

In the next post you'll find the very zoomed out and rotatd pic.
this is a very fast moving asteroid or a very slow satellite !
That black dot is just an optical artifact caused by the very bright centre. Oversaturation
Correct. The bright white objects are all stars from our galaxy. The distortion is just an optical artifact, no lensing whatsoever
it just looks like a fairly bright star. Nothing special. Sorry !

Here's the ultimate ring galaxy : Hoag's object
A ring galaxy gets formed when a galaxy plows through another galaxy and makes a ring .
This is very difficult ! What you see here is a ringed galaxy : two spiral arms folding back and forming a ring
looks more like two spiral arms folding back and forming a ringed galaxy
Definitely a galaxy. Maybe even a spiral !
No way to tell from just these images.
I'm thinking it is a star in front of the central galaxy.
Not a new star but a very bright star !
It's very fuzzy, but I think I see some features. No elliptical for me
Correct. Nice star overlap.
Could be a disturbed edge on or two galaxies merging.

See the zoomed out image : something very big moved in front of the lens. Don't know what, sorry !
At these distances it is just not possible to see planets
A couple of fuzzy galaxies.
All of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. No merger here, sorry
Could be a merger but I'm leaning more towards overlap.
The bright dot north of the centre is a foreground star from our galaxy. No dustlane for me.
The central object is a galaxy. The different colors are an artifact
If you squint you can make out two faint spiral arms.
Always classify the central object in the image. And yes, that is a star from our galaxy at the bottom
Definitely not a star but a beautiful galaxy. The outer layer is probably two spiral arms forming a ring.
That is a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
The star is from our galaxy, so it is not possible for it to be interacting with the galaxy !
These objects are indeed stars, but they only appear to be touching
With these fuzzy images from Hubble it isn't always easy to tell. But I'd go for galaxies. It looks like there is some interaction.
All three are galaxies !
I'd go fr avery disturbed spiral
Overlap would be my idea too !
Those blue dots are star forming regions in the galaxy.
Correct, that is indeed a star.
The central object is a galaxy, but the other ones are all stars from our galaxy.
All the objects in this mage are galaxies.
At these distances it is not possible to see plants
Definitely an imaging/filters problem.

Three elliptical galaxies merging.
Nice catch
The blue blob and the one top right ar foreground stars from our galaxy.
The bright object top right corner is a star from our galaxy.
Could also be an overlap
The green glow is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
The bright spiky object in the corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, rings and spikes are optical artifacts.
That is a satelite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because ofits speed it gets reflected in just one filter
The objects in tis image are all stars from our galaxy.
No merger here.
Yes ! 😃
Correct.
That is a bright star from our galaxy.
Not a nebulabut a fuzzy galaxy.
Or two stars that only appear to be close together? No way to tell from just this image
Looks more like a clumpy spiral in these images. But I'd love to be proven wrong ! 😉
Do I detect another addiction ! ;-D
Go lenses !
We discussed this one (or one similar) and the 'jets' are actually diffraction spikes because the center is so bright !
I'd still go for spiral with the arms folding back and forming a ring.
Technically that is a ringed galaxy.
It's 2 stars but with some serious imaging problems! 😄

That is a spiral arm from the central galaxy, which looks a bit disturbed.
Correct, nice chance alignment of three foreground stars from our galaxy
That is a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
The purple spiky objects are all foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts.
If you call it irregular, it has features, so smooth is not an option.
Irregular or disturbed spiral
Nope, definitely a galaxy with a bright center.
These are all stars from our galaxy.
A nice barred spiral
Those are satellite trails.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
The halo is probably a disturbed spiral arm.
Nice chance alignment of a couple of edge on gaalies. No lensing here, sorry
The two brightobjects are foreground stars frm our galaxy.
The colors are optical artifacts
It's the edge of the chip.

The two bright objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nice chance alignment !
First of all : always classify the object in the center of the image.
And the bright object to the left is indeed a foreground star.
No interaction yet ! 😃
Two-armed spiral with a big bulge. Ringed galaxy.
LOL
That is a very bright star from our galaxy
Sorry not a supernova. This is a bight star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts
The object with the purple center is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and purple center are all optical artifacts
Correct, at these distances it is impossible to see planets.
The object left of the galaxy is probably a faint galaxy.
Looks more like a spiral to me.
Looks like a fuzzy galaxy to me.
If this was a lensed quasar, the two images would have to be the same color.
Two stars with some optical artifacts.
Probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Irregular or disturbed spiral !

Some of the galaxies are distorted, others not.So, without additional information it is not clear which galaxies are actually interacting.
Always classify the object in the center of the image !
The object, top left corner, is part of another galaxy.
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Wow ! Nice one ! 😃
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image !
Even if it is the most boring one ! 😃
The white dots(and the red one) are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The central object is definitely a galaxy, but the smaller dots around it are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
Yup ! Always classify the central object even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
The object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The blue dots are optical artifacts.
The bright object at the top is a foreground star, so no merger possible.
The red dot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Too fuzzy, but tx for pointing it out !
Please ignore it. It was created by someone who didn't believe that mergers were possible.
No explosion here.
A disturbed spiral for me ç
Gorgeous, isn't it !
I would've gone for overlap (I know, no button for overlap ! 😉)
But, just answer the questions as well as you can !
SDSS = Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
The images we are asked to classify come from Hubble and SDSS
Just too faint to tell !
If you squint, you can see two spiral arms !
Most definitely a galaxy !
I'd go for slightly disturbed spiral.
Nope, This is a beautiful ring(ed) galaxy.
Definitely not stars.
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Probably an edge on.
No stars here, but two galaxies merging !
The central object s a spiral galaxy. The colorful spike at the bottom is an optical artifact caused by a bright star outside of this image
The three(four) objects to the right seem to be a chance alignment of some galaxies or stars.
That is a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in just one filter.
The two objects at the bottom and the two at the top are four foreground stars from our galaxy.
The four objects around the central galaxy are not galaxies but foreground stars from our galaxy.
I'm thinking two stars too.
At these distances it is impossible to see individual stars in these gaalxies, let alone planets or moons.
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
But here all the objects are stars from our galaxy
The green glow is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image

It's a very fuzzy galaxy. I could go for irregular or even a very disturbed spiral. But remember : your classification is important
Nice one !
The blue and the orange dots are probably foreground stars from our galaxy
Almost all the objects in this image (including the bright red one) are stars from our galaxy.
The bright yellow object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy
It is indeed a star. The different colors and rings are optical artifacts
No lens here, sorry. All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
The white object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. So, no interaction possible.
Misalignment of the filters.

Sorry to say but the dot is just an artifact
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts
Those two object are both stars from our galaxy. At these distances it is not possible to see a planet directly
That's a satellite trail. Satellites reflect sunlight & because of their speed they get caught in just 1 filter.They can also be blue or red
Definitely not a nebula but a galaxy or galaxies.
looks like a merger to me
This object is most probably a star from our galaxy. The blue dot is an artifact
Not a nebula but a very faint and faraway galaxy.
No, the blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
If you classify it as an elliptical it cannot have a feature like a bulge.
That is what ellipticals look like : they are featureless.
possible #voorwerpje ?
#overlap

These objects are all stars from our galaxy. Don't know if they are really close or just appear to be.
it's two galaxies that appear to be very close and probably interacting.
But I wouldn't call it a cluster, sorry
It's another galaxy. Looks like an active star forming one (just based on the color).
Don't think there is any lensing here, sorry!
The one to the left is an edge on. Not much distortion, so no merger for me.
A very disturbed spiral is also an option
Disturbed spiral !
The green one is a planetary nebula with the catchy name : PN G031.7+01.7 !

Really nice one !
Looks like a very disturbed spiral to me too !
Nice catch
The blue thingies to right look more like artifacts.
Too bright in one color !

Yes these faint blobs are galaxies, but they are so faint and far away that even Hubble can't see them very well.
I wouldn't call this one smooth ! If you squint real hard, it looks a bit spirally to me and with an almost little bulge to booth ! 😃
This is most probably a star from our galaxy. How to tell the difference?
Just look at lots of images and it'll come to you ! 😉
A bit too fuzzy to tell, for me !
But that is just me ! 😃

Top object is indeed a star from our galaxy.
But, please, always classify the object in the center of the image ! Tx
It reminds me a bit of this : http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/04/09/spiral_galaxy_photo_ngc_5907_ate_another_galaxy.html
Don't think it is a lens.
Looks more like the aftermath of a merger.
Could be a fuzzy spiral. Not sure about the clumps at the bottom : they look like overlapping galaxies ?
Your guess is a s good as mine !
It's definitely an artifact. Something went wrong with the imaging.
That thin line is definitely not a bar, could be a diffraction spike caused by the brightness of the center.
This is a disturbed, barred spiral.
That is a possibility. There are a lot of galaxies in this image and two stars from our galaxy. Don't know if the galaxies are close.
The purple clumps are star forming regions in this galaxy
Sorry, no galaxies here ! The three objects are all foreground stars from our galaxy that only appear to be touching

First of all, always classify the object in the center of the image.
And then just answer the questions.

Do you mean the white and yellow objects top left ? Those are stars from our galaxy.
Yup, that bright spiky thing to the left is a bright foreground star from our galaxy.
The dark spot in the center is just an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the core.
That could be a small galaxy, but it could just as well be a foreground star.

Not galaxies ! All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
Don't think there is any lensing going on here.
he galaxy on the right looks to be a spiral and they are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
Definitely a galaxy !
All these objects are stars from our galaxy. No lensing here.
Not a nebula but a galaxy.
The bright objects are foreground star from our galaxy.
Too fuzzy to tell form me.
That's the edge of the chip.

Not an arc, possibly a spiral arm.
The darker area is part of the galaxy.
Nice star ! 😃
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one !
That glare is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image

Or, if you squint really hard, it could look like a disturbed, two-armed, barred spiral
Again, I could go for a disturbed, barred spiral ! 😉
A disturbed barred spiral (perhaps ?)

Now you got me ! I actually don't now !
note to self : do some research on bars (,-) lol)
Woohoo ! Way to go ! 😉
Happy hunting !
The bright orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy. So it is most definitely closer ! 😉
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a very faint galaxy.
The bright one a the bottom is a foreground star.

The slightly disturbed two-armed spiral is the central object. Which one id you pick ?
Lots of stars as well in this image. The SDSS software has been known to make mistakes in identifying stars for galaxies.
The bright blue/white objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.The little red one could be a galaxy, but could just as well be a star.
There could be a very faint galaxy in the center of the image, but all in all not much to see here !

No way to tell from just this pic if these galaxies are actually close together or only appear to be & no distortion to speak of.
No merger
Star/artifact sounds just about right ! 😉

The only thing I can say for sure is that this is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Sorry
This is just one object. It's a star from our galaxy. The colors and center are just optical artifacts
Don't know, but this one is very, very far away !
Not much distortion. Could also be an overlap

Gorgeous merger
Merger for me !
Definitely !

Nice catch !
The bright yellow object at the bottom is indeed a star from our galaxy
These two objects are stars, but the colors are just optical artifacts.
Bad imaging
no cloud here. This is a galaxy, but a bit too fuzzy to tell anything about it.
Just give it your best shot
Optical artifact. Just the stitch line between to images
Correct ! 😃
Nope, definitely ! 😉

This is not a galaxy, but a satellite trail !
The 'chocolate' is actually a dustlane !
I only see two spiral arms. The galaxy looks disturbed though.
Great minds think alike ! ;-D
The central object is indeed a spiral galaxy. The object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nope, that is a galaxy. Some will say irregular, others very disturbed
The central object is a galaxy (I'd go for an edge on with a rounded bulge).
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Nice !
These three objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. No ring, sorry !
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
The colors are artifacts

Looks cool though !
Somewhat disturbed, but spiral for me too
Not that much distortion, so no merger for me
Gorgeous irregular with a couple of star forming regions !
No merger for me, sorry !
I'd definitely go for a little bar for this one!
Seriously disturbed spiral ! 😄
Disturbed spiral or irregular. Just answer the questions as well as you can !
Happy Hunting !
The bright blue/white thingy is a foreground star from our galaxy !
Three is a possibiliy !
Nice catch !
My guess is that this is indeed a part of a fuzzy spiral galaxy.
I'd love to see the rest of it ! 😉
There is definitely a hint of spiral structure !
The central object is most probably a star. But at these distances it is not possible to see individual planets, sorry. Optical artifact !

Possible interaction with an equally blue and disturbed galaxy to the bottom left.
Fly by ?
More than a hint for me.
Definitely a spiral ! 😉
You can clearly see two spiral arms. I'd take it from there.
Not much distortion , but it is still a possibility
Just an optical artifact.
Yup, upper right corner : definitely a spiral.
But, please, always classify the object i the center of the image (even if it is the most bo
Edge on is my favorite too !
Not much distortion, so no merger for me
he white , spiky thing with the blue center is a foreground star from our galaxy.
definitely !
Very fuzzy, hard to tell
Definitely
Yes it is !
But, please, always classify the object in the center of the image
Looks like it !
Spiral for me too !
The two objects are stars from our galaxy who only appear to be touching.
Mot of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. so star/artifact is the best option here
Two stars ! 😃
No, these are two stars who appear to be close together
These are all foreground stars from our galaxy
These objects are all stars from our galaxy.
The colors are optical artifacts
The bright objects are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
Too fuzzy to tell for me, sorry !
Lovely merger for me ! 😄
Gorgeous pic ! 😄
Always classify the central object.
Here you have only stars from our galaxy !
Merger gets my vote !
😄
This is actually a satellite trail !
The red and orange blobs are foreground stars from our galaxy. At these distances it is impossible to see individual planets
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. The weird colors are just optical artifacts
Probably, but there are lots of foreground stars too !
Don't think so.
You can always search with the ra/dec.

Your wish is my command ! 😉
Here's the rotated pic !
I'm pretty sure this isn't a lens. Disks/spirals are usually not massive enough to do any lensing
For me, there's lots of distortion, seeing the full pic.
I'd go for merger !

Nope, sorry, no merger. Tese objects are foreground stars from our galaxy and only appear to be touching.
Don' think it is a supernova. Probably a foreground star or even a artifact
The green dot is probably an artifact, sorry !
The very bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
Not much distortion, so overlap for me too.
But, hey, it's your call ! Just answer the questions as well as you can !
I'm torn between merger and overlap, but slightly leaning towards merger ! 😉
Could be an #overlap
It's a weird one, alright ! The white dot is probably a star, but there is something strange about it.
Here's the zoomed out and rotated pic. And it looks like there's a globular cluster in the zoomed out image too !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=152.08333249&dec=12.04840077&scale=6.338032&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Just enough distortion. Merger for me too !
Definitely merger
Visual information/confirmation : two galaxies and obvious distortion. Merger for me too !
We are asked to classify the images purely on what we see.
Here, it is a perfectly good classification if you went for merger.
The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are optical artifacts
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
Something went wrong with the filters.
The white object with spikes is a bright star from our galaxy. Colors, spikes and center are all optical artifacts.
This is indeed a star, but the colors and weird center are just optical artifacts.
In the full pic you can see that it isn't a trail. When imaging this region, something went very wrong. The camera moved and filter problems

This is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright star just outside this image
The green/blue glare is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image
Yup, rotating satellite !
Nope, this is what bright stars look like in Hubble pics.
I agree it is the same area.
But Hubble is a much more powerful than the SDSS telescope. The images should look very different
I would imagine this image (Hubble) looks very different than the SDSS one !
Looks like something went wrong with the imaging. Filter problems.
All the objects in this image are stars from our own galaxy.
So, z=0
The weird center of these stars is an optical artifact.
The weird blue center is just an optical artifact, sorry.
That's a satellite trail. The satellite reflects sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in only one filter.
That is an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the core
That line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a star just outside of this image
Oops ! Always classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one) 😄
The objects in this image are all foreground stars from our galaxy
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a galaxy. The other two and the red blob are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nice distortion ! Some real interaction going on !
And the distance from the central galaxy is also way too big !
Nope, definitely not an arc.
Spirals are usually not massive enough to do any lensing
The red blob is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. So definitely in front ! 😉
No way to tell from just this picture ! We need redshifts ! 😉
Looks a bit too elliptical for me ! 😉
This is a bright star from our galaxy. The spikes are diffraction spikes (optical artifact ! )
It is not possible to determine it is a supernova from just one pic. You'd need at least a before and after one !
First of, always classify the object in the center of the image: here it's a pretty nondescript galaxy. Most of the objects here are stars
That is a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of is speed it gets caught in only one filter
The white objects with the red dots are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The red dots are just optical artifacts caused by oversaturation.
Or they could be faint and fuzzy galaxies
For me : this is too blurry to tell.
Don't think it is a double core.
Gorgeous pic though
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=248.12672236&dec=22.41179089&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
I'll post a link for the recentered and rotated image
It looks a bit iffy, but I think I would've gone for merger too !
Anyway, I hope you'll stick around !
Happy Hunting !
The central object is definitely a star, not a galaxy, sorry !
The diffraction spikes give it away !
Don't think it is a lens. Spirals are usually not massive enough to do lensing.
Nice disturbed spiral .
No idea ! 😉
Nice description ! 😄
These objects are actually stars from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are just optical artifacts.
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
In this case : star/artifact seems the only option ! 😄
Not every spiral or disk galaxy has a bulge. This one doesn't have a bulge.
But it has a lovely #dustlane
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy
😄
Not alien, but the colors and weird center are indeed optical artifacts. This is a star from our galaxy
I think you are referring to the bar in this galaxy.
The central object is indeed a galaxy, but the bright yellow/orange one is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger, sorry
Looks like it !
The central object is a galaxy, but most of the other objects are foreground stars from our galaxy
Yup ! and some serious interaction going on !
I think you are referring to the bright core of this galaxy.
This galaxy has a big bulge, a densely packed region with lots of stars.
You can check this out for yourself : click on the ref.number and if you see : View on Skyserver, it's an SDSS pic. If not - > Hubble
SDSS ! 😃
Correct, that is a star
This is a Hubble pic from a very faint and faraway galaxy
That's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
Thisis indeed a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moes so fast it gets caught in only one filter
Nice merger !
Just give it your best shot ! 😄
While they look close, there is not muc distortion. No merger for me.
Possible #arc at 7.
It is indeed a spiral galaxy like our MW. But this one is ery disturbed.
Merger for me
At these distances it's impossible to see a planet.The blue blob is a very far away galaxy. The yellow spiky thing is a star from our galaxy
Too fuzzy to tell for me !
How do you explain the interaction between the two galaxies?
So how is this not a merger ?
Please explain
The redshifts are very similar and although there isn't that much distortion , Id'd go for merger in progress
The central object is not a globular cluster but a fuzzy galaxy. It could be a barred fuzzy galaxy. But, just give it your best shot !
Merger of two ellipticals for me.
Just from this pic, I'd say a disturbed spiral !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=210.39997966&dec=-10.05919022&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
In the next post you'll find the zoomed out pic. And although it looks a bit disturbed, can't find a culprit. So maybe it is just disturbed
Looks more like a two-armed, barred spiral to me.
But your classification is as good as mine !
Happy hunting ! 😃
Just a very, very fuzzy and far away galaxy ! Not much more to say !
This is UGC 06625.
And it is just beautifull !
Not much distortion (if any), so not too sure about a merger
Nice one ! 😉
It could be a far away galaxy, but it could just as well be a foreground star.
No way to tell without additional information
Nice one ! 😄
It's a satellite trail! The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it only gets caught in one filter
Gorgeous #merger
And a #voorwerpje !
Correct ! This is a spiral
The two white objects are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
These three objects are not galaxies but stars from our galaxy. They only appear to be very close together
This is definitely a galaxy. 😃
The green color is just an optical artifact. Something went wrong with the filters
Correct ! Most of the dots around the central galaxy are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
That is a possibility.
You can't really tell from a picture how close or how far these galaxies are from each other
A definite sign of a merger would be some distortion in the galaxies.
The color split is probably just an optical artifact
Not much distortion. No merger for me
Almost every object in this image is a star from our galaxy. Not a galaxy.
The fuzzy central object is a galaxy.
The yellow large object at the bottom is also a galaxy
No way to tell which one is in front
Almost every object here is a foreground star from our galaxy
The spike is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside this image
The central object is a fuzzy galaxy. The bright yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Looks like a disturbed spiral to me ! 😃
Optical artifacts!
When something only appears in one filter it usually is an artifact !
Two cores, some very serious distortion : merger for me too ! 😄
Nope, that is just an artifact. Something went wrong with the filters
A very very faint and fuzzy galaxy. That's about it, sorry.
Sorry, these objects aren't galaxies but foreground stars from our galaxy.
It is not our sun but it is a star from our galaxy
No problem ! ,-D But it won't be the official name though !
The object at 4 is a foreground star from our galaxy and so are a lot of the other objects in this image. Central one is a galaxy
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell.
It is definitely a galaxy.
Not many features, but it isn't exactly smooth either
Just give it your best shot !
Happy Hunting
The object you are referring ot is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes, colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
Wow !
Definitely a merger
The bright thing in the top right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The spikes,colors and weird center are all optical artifacts
The central object is probably a star. The blue dot is an artifact
The red object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
That is indeed a planetary nebula with the catchy name : PN G093.3-00.9 !
Great catch !
The yellow thing is another galaxy. I don't think they are interacting. Overlap for me
Looks like there is a very very faint and fuzzy galaxy in the center. Really not much more to tell ! 😉
Correct ! 😃
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
In this picture, almost every object is a foreground star from our galaxy
You're right. This is just a faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Always classify the object in the center of the image !
This is definitely a galaxy.
Not just stars, but lots of galaxies here too !
It's two edge-on galaxies overlapping each other
Yes, here you have two galaxies in this image. Whether they are really close is hard to tell, just from the image.
There is not much distortion, so not sure about a merger.
It is still a possibility though.
Definitely not a star but a galaxy
Definitely not a star but a galaxy
Don't think this is a merger.
I'd go for an irregular pr possibly a disturbed spiral
The central object (and some of the others) is not a star but an elliptical galaxy (smooth and round)
Not a constellation but a very faint and fuzzy galaxy
The bluish/green object in the top right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors are just optical artifacts
Yes, definitely a star !
Not much distortion as yet, but they do look like they're close together. So maybe, some time in the future, this could be a merger ! 😉
I see a medium, two-armed spiral with a very bright core.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=112.37482646&dec=-1.9925527&scale=50.704256&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Something went very wrong with the imaging.
For obvious reasons, it's called the cosmic scarf ! :-DD
These two objects are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
Whether they are binary ? Probably just a chance alignment.
Most of these objects are foreground stars from our galaxy
I'd go for slightly disturbed ! 😃
The blue clumps inside the galaxy are starforming regions , not individual stars.
That is a bright star from our galaxy !
I don't think this is a lens. Looks like a two-armed spiral to me.
The central galaxy is seriously disturbed. The blue spot is probably a star forming region in the galaxy
The white, spiky object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. Th colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts
Two fuzzy galaxies.
The central one has a big bulge, not much more to tell.
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The galaxy in the center of the image is very disturbed
Gorgeous #merger
Definitely not a Kuiper Belt Object.
In this image we have three galaxies and a foreground star (the yellowish object with the purple dot)
What you see in the top right corner is an optical artifact caused by a bright foreground star from our galaxy
??? Don't know what you mean, sorry
It's a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
That is a very disturbed galaxy !
A chance alignment of four stars from our galaxy
I'd go for disturbed.
Gorgeous #merger
Two-armed spiral with a big bulge
Yes, these are all stars from our galaxy.
At these distances it is not possible to see planets directly.
The orange blob and the white ones are foreground stars from our galaxy
gorgeous #merger
gorgeous #merger
Correct.
The colors and weird center are optical artifacts. Something went wrong with the imaging
These objects are all stars from our galaxy
The filters going crazy ! ;-D
This is a star from our galaxy.
a fuzzy galaxy !
Just answer the questions as well as you can ! 😃
Too fuzzy to tell for me, sorry
The orangey/red object could be a foreground star from our galaxy. The top left object could be an overlapping galaxy (or even a star)
If you're talking about the orange ones : they are stars from our galaxy
No voorwerpjes, sorry
No distortion to speak of : no merger for me, sorry
At these distances it is impossible to see individual planets. And the only stars we see are the ones from our on galaxy
The object in the top left corner is indeed a sar from our galaxy. The colors, wpikes and weird center are optical artifacts.
No planets
Hi barthel50
these objects are galaxies, not planets.
The camera moved and there was something wrong with the filters. Optical artifact
This is a star from our galaxy, but the colors are artificial. Something went wrong with the filters. Star/artifact
First of all, almost every object in this image is a star from our galaxy. The colors and weird centers are optical artifacts. No red dwarf
gravity !
Correct !
Bright star from our galaxy
This is not a galaxy but a foreground star. The colors and the center are just optical artifact (not real)
If you squint hard enough, you can see some faint spiral pattern. So no lenticular for me, sorry
Optical artifact !
Just move along, nothing there ! 😉
Not that I know of. Chain works very well for me !
Very nice ! 😃
The bright white object with the spikes is a foreground star from our galaxy.
So they are probably diffractionspikes because of the very bright center.
Looks really cool though !
Polar ring was my first thought, but vrooje (scienceteam) pointed out that the spikes are at exactly the same angle as the ones from a star
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=335.0442447&dec=-3.96243876&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
The streak of light is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a nearby bright star. Not associated with the galaxy in any way
Not a nebula but an irregular galaxy. The bright white blob is a foreground star from our galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=83.57294412&dec=-5.1765847&scale=12.676064&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Very nice nebula !
😄
Happy Hunting !
Don't worry ! Every image will be classified by a lot of people.
No one person will be responsible for disturbing the classifications 😄
Yup ! 😃
Just classify it as you see fit. Just answer the questions. If sthis is smooth for you, then go for it.
I'd go for smooth and round too !
You are correct that this is a star from our galaxy. But there is nothing in front of it. The weird center is just an optical artifact
Yes, these two are galaxies. Probably merging.
Both are very disturbed, or you could go for irregulars
Great merger
Gorgeous merger
Merger for me too
Wow, great merger
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Merger for me too !
Not much distortion, no merger for me.
Nope, just a star from our galaxy with some very weird optical artifacts
Nice merger
Definitely merger
Definitely a merger !
Oh, definitely a merger
Too fuzzy to tell for me
Congrats ! 😄
I'm not totally convinced it is a lens, but hey, when in doubt ! 😉
possible #lens ?
The spiky white thing is a foreground star from our galaxy
😄
(it's a satellite trail)
That is an optical artifact.
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors aren't real Something went very wrong with the imaging.
That is another galaxy.
The green ball is a foreground star from our galaxy
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image
That is a satellite trail
Not a supernova. This is what bright stars look like in the Hubble pics.
Possible #lens, top right ?
Not a supernova, sorry. Just a bright foreground star from our galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=32.85349515&dec=46.83006091&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Not a galaxy, but probably a star from our galaxy, with some weird optical artifacts. All the objects in this view have the same effect
gorgeous merger !
Very nice spiral.
But please, always classify the object in the center of the image. Even if it is the most boring one ! 😉
And another satellite trail
This is a satellite trail
Optical artifact.
These are actually foreground stars from our galaxy
This is what stars look like in Hubble pics
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=120.29376735&dec=-1.88852957&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It's an optical artifact. Something went wrong with the imaging and it looks like the camera moved as well
No way to tell,, just from this pic.
Could be a line of sight
Nice #merger !
What do you mean ?
Nice ! 😉
Anyone notice the dust lane ? 😃
Very beautiful !
Possible #boxy bulge !
Amazing !
Top left corner object is a foreground star from our galaxy !
Nice ! 😄
No way to tell. I just see one galaxy here !
Looks like it ! 😄
reply to fuzz_lightyear : could you use anymore obscure references and #'s. That will really help everyone ! Tx
Just give it your best shot ! 😉
Why old ?
No way to tell just from this image. It could be they just appear to be close together
Nope, just an optical artifact caused by a very bright star just outside of this image !
Could be a foreground star.
Did you notice the asteroid (the blue/red/green thingy), bottom right ?
The bluish clumps are star forming regions in the galaxy
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The 'dustlanes' are just optical artifacts
What a gorgeous #merger !
blablablabla !
Probably !
Again, definitely #merger for me ! 😄
This is not a galaxy but a star from our galaxy.
The very strange colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
This is a spiral galaxy.
I think you mean the spiral arms !
Yup, definitely a satellite trail !
Always classify the object in the center of the image !
(Even if it is the most boring one 😉 )
Your guess is as good as mine !
There could be some interaction !
Just give it your best shot ! 😄
These Hubble pictures are very difficult to interpret.
Your guess is a s good as mine ! 😉
The green line at 8 is just too straight. Definitely an artifact.
The weird center is just an optical artifact.
Most of the objects here are stars from our own galaxy.
The bright one with the weird center is also a star.
No galaxy in this image, sorry.
Every object here is a star from our galaxy !
Two of the spiral arms have star forming regions.
Gorgeous !
Could be a 4-armed spiral
No distortion, so no merger for me. Just because they appear to be close together , doesn't mean they physically are !
The object slightly to the left of the center of this image is a foreground star. The weird center is just an optical artifact
The two objects to the left and right appear to be foreground stars from our galaxy. The arms of the central galaxy look like overlapping
I'm leaning towards merger !😉
No galaxy here, just a lot of stars ! 😉
The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter (the green one here)
Lots of distortion : definitely merger for me
Two ellipticals, this close : screams merger, somehow ! ;)D
Definitely #merger for me
Too fuzzy to tell for me, sorry.
Probably two foreground stars with some funny artefacts
It doesn't get any better than this !
Absolutely gorgeous
Merger for me too !
Oh yes, definitely merger ! 😄
The way there are some definitely active star forming regions in the top galaxy, makes me think interaction !
Central object is a foreground star. The two galaxies to the right are definitely merging
And someone who is willing to learn is never boring ! 😄
Happy Hunting !
The bright white object with the blue blob is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors (and blob) are optical artifacts.
Beautiful irregular/disturbed spiral with star forming regions !
You could go for irregular or a fuzzy disturbed galaxy, and I can see a bar too.
Just answer the questions ass well as you can. 😄
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=198.04133474&dec=44.02774161&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Gorgeous edge on (see next post for the rotated and full image)
The dark spot is an optical artifact caused by the very bright center (over saturation)
Too fuzzy to tell
Definitely not a lens : as a rule, spirals are usually not massive enough to do any lensing (there have been exceptions, but very, very few)
More a ringed galaxy : where two arms go back all the way and make a ring.
No dustlane for me, and not really a merger either. A weird (disturbed) spiral with a little galaxy (satellite ?) to the left
More important : what do you see here ? 😄
What are you referring to ?
Most of the object in this image, around the central galaxy, are foreground stars from our galaxy
The central object is a disturbed barred spiral
Could you point us to the asteroid int his image ?
Definitely a merger
no asteroid in this image for me
Not much distortion. Could be an #overlap
Two galaxies who appear to be interacting. The bottom one has a very bright core.
Just a couple stars from our galaxy, who appear to be close together. No way to tell from just this pic if they are really close
The blue clumps are star forming regions in the galaxy
That is a satellite trail
That is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside this image
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy
The spiky thing to the left is a bright star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts
Nice ! 😄
It could be another galaxy but on the other hand we know that the SDSS software isn't always right.
I'd go for star 😉
Oh, definitely galaxies and probably merging too
It could be a foreground star or possibly an artefact.
I'm thinking artefact
If you squint you can still see two well defined (if very faint) arms, + a bar and a very large bulge.
Definitely not an elliptical here !
Merger still very much in progress
Looks like there is some interaction.
Merger in progress
Gorgeous irregular with a bright star forming region
The 'bar' in the bright white star is just an optical artifact
Almost every object in this pic is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The one to classify is the little orange one next to the spiky one
Could be an artefact, but I'm thinking foreground star too.
Nice catch !
The green line is a satellite trail
The red object at the bottom is a foreground star from our galaxy
The red object to the left on the central galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy
It is still a spiral ! 😄
That is a bright core. The darker spot is just an optical artifact.
The green dot : possible #voorwerpje ?
That is a satellite trail
The white spiky thing is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be a foreground star or an artefact ?
Really not sure !
The blue blobs are star forming regions in this (irregular) galaxy
Could be a very (very) fuzzy spiral but I'd go for irregular for this one
Nice #merger
The little grey thing to the right of the central galaxy is not a polar jet but another galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=12.43692574&dec=32.28270046&scale=0.792254&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Here's the full (rotated) picture
Looks like a proper spiral to me ! 😄
How distant ?
Nope, almost every object here is a star from our galaxy.
Correct : every (or almost every) object in this image is a star from our galaxy
The yellow thingy top left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The one you're supposed to classify is the fuzzy blob in the center 😄
If I use my superscientific method (squinting!), I do see two faint spiral arms.
Nice catch !
I'd say, your son is right ! 😄
For me, looks like a slightly disturbed spiral with a big bulge. And judging by the color of the bulge,there could be an AGN lurking there
And, please !, always classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! ) 😄
The very bright object is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and blue center are all optical artifacts
Not much distortion. No merger for me.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=209.69540977&dec=46.61504531&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
This is indeed caused by the glare of a bright star just outside of this image.
Colors (also the purple smudges) are optical artifacts
The object on the left is indeed a foreground star.
But always classify the object in the center of the image.
Here = faint & fuzzy galaxy
These are two spiral arms looping back
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=149.21161114&dec=4.27852932&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It's an optical artifact caused by a bright star from our galaxy outside of this image.See next post for full and rotated pic
The green beam is a satellite trail.
And the star is just a bright foreground star.
You could go for a disturbed spiral or an irregular.
It is your call ! 😄
It's your call ! 😄
This is a difficult one. I'd still go for star, but not too sure
The object to the left is a bright star from our galaxy.
The colors, spikes and weird center are optical artifacts
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=0.39396554&dec=31.44314958&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Definitely some serious interaction going on
See next post for full (rotated) pic.
The weird colors of the stars is oversaturation
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy
neither for me, sorry.
The central object is a tight spiral with a big bulge
Almost every object in this image is a star from our galaxy
The bright orange blob is a foreground star from our galaxy
Very fuzzy image.
Sorry, no merger here. The orange object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=348.2474003&dec=-9.58843038&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
The green beam is an optical artifact caused by a very bright star just outside of this image;
See next post for rotated image
Looks like a tight two-armed spiral to me
Not a dust cloud but a very disturbed galaxy wth a nice dustlane
Something went wrong with the filters here : just optical artifacts !
This is what a bright star looks like in a Hubble pic.
The colors, rings, spikes and blue dot are optical artifacts
Sorry, no merger here. The top object is a foreground star from our galaxy
I'd say yes
This is a satellite trail
The filters weren't properly aligned for this image.
So you get two objects in stead of one.
artifact
Merger for me too.
It's not because they only mention one object that there can't be more
That is an optical artifact caused by a very bright star just outside of this image
The green line is a satellite trail
These objects are stars from our galaxy. The weird colors are just optical artifacts
I'd go for possible polar ring. 😉
Nice catch
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
With this kind of fuzziness, your guess is as good as mine.
Happy hunting
The red object to the right is a bright foreground star from our galaxy.
Btw, always classify he object in the center of the image
Spiral arms for me
I'd go for merger (lots of distortion)
What object are you referring to ? Because, the object in the center (which you are supposed to classify) is an 'ordinary' spiral galaxy
Could be another galaxy. But I still think it is a foreground star
Or two spiral arms ?
No merger or dustlane for me.
Could be a tight, two armed spiral
There is no way to tell, just from this image, if the other object is close or not
No dustlane. I'd go for merger
Could be a very bright core ! AGN ?
The central object looks like a two armed spiral
Not sure if this is a merger. The "core" to the left could also be a foreground star
not much distortion. Could be overlap
Almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Could be an overlap
Not much distortion. I don't think this is a merger
Ermmmm,I don't know ! 😉
This must be an alien space ship , just itching to conquer us! 😄
I'd go for merger too ! ;-D
cluster : check
merger : oh yes !
Definitely a merger.
Not sure about lensing though
Doesn't really look like a pea. More like a Herbig Haro object.
Perfect example of a merger ! 😄
Nice merger !
Bottom galaxy has possible #voorwerpjes
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=276.77636258&dec=78.21710807&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
hey, where is fuzz lightyear's notam_word comment ?
Those are tidal trails. These two galaxies are interacting.
Nice merger
That is indeed a star. The colors and the weird center are just optical artifacts.
The yellow object in the upper left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy
Merger in progress
The dark objects are artefacts
The image is too fuzzy and pixellated.
At these distances it is simply not possible to see planets
The blue blob is a star forming region in the galaxy
The blue dots are not individual stars but starforming regions in the galaxy
Very beautiful !
That is not a galaxy but probably two stars from our galaxy. The colors are not real but artifacts
The camera moved and on top of that something went very wrong with the imaging
The object in the top right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy
Not a nebula. It's an irregular galaxy with star forming regions (the blue clumps)
artifact for me too !
Looks like they are interacting too
The central object is indeed a galaxy. The bright white one to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy
I think it probably is a star, but with these Hubble pics I'm not too sure !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=184.96082174&dec=29.61471894&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Here's the complete and rotated image
Do you mean an asteroid ?
No, the white/orange/red objects are probably foreground stars.
asteroids are always green/red/blue
could be. don't know for sure
Wow, beautiful !
Definitely a galaxy.
As for the classification : could be an irregular or a seriously disturbed spiral or ...
It's your call ! 😃
Nope. They just appear to be touching. They are not that big. It's an optical artifact. They could be close together or just a line of sight
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=184.73011322&dec=47.3425527&scale=3.169016&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Next post has a link for the full and rotated pic
Because they are so very hot (literally !)
Yup ! 😉
Satellites get caught in 1 filter. Usually green, but red and blue trails are also possible. Don't know why green is more common
If the telescope fixes on a particular part of the sky, the galaxies and stars don't move. It's only asteroids or others 😃 that move
Merger or overlap.
Colors: there are two different galaxies, one with younger, bluer stars and one with older, redder stars
I'd go for edge on with a big bulge, but that is not the definitive answer. Just answer the questions as well as you can !
Every object in SDSS pics id shot in 5 filters: red/near infra-red/UV/far infra-red/blue-green.
The notation GPair doesn't exclude merger
Because the asteroid moves in between exposures it gets caught at slightly different locations in different filters.
years and years of experience and seeing literally thousands of them !
Well, it is a beautiful merger ! 😉
I don't really think this is real. Looks like an artifact
Yup !
Almost all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
artifacts.
The camera moved
The three blue clumps are star forming regions in this galaxy. At these distances we cannot see individual stars
The white spiky object is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
Too faint and fuzzy to tell.
The only thing we can be sure of is that it is a galaxy
Correct : the object to the left is a foreground star
Don't think so.
A very beautiful barred sppiral
If I use my superscientific method (squinting really hard), I can see faint spiral arms 😄
the blue/red/green object to the left is indeed an asteroid
Nice catch
It could be a disk !
In the first GZ we were asked to mark the spirals as either CW or ACW.
But in the later versions that question was dropped.
They are just optical artifacts caused by the brightness of the star
definitely not a lens.
Spirals/disks are usually not massive enough to do any lensing
looks like one ! 😉
Psychedelic colors 😄
Could be a foreground star ?
or a possible #polarring
The fuzzy white blob to the left is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
All the objects here are stars from our galaxy. The colors are optical artifacts
Overlap for me too !
If there is a redshift available, you'll find it lower on the page next to the spectrum.
Right galaxy has a z of 0.075,no z for the left one
The z's you use have something to do with the filters used (ugriz)
Could be a (distorted) one armed spiral.
Nice catch
top right : a fuzzy galaxy
If you suint it looks like one very long arm.
this is probably a disturbed galaxy
😄
Three well placed foreground stars from our galaxy
It is definitely disturbed.
Don't skip them. Just classify as star/artifact ! 😉
This galaxy's center must be very bright to produce these diffraction spikes.
That's if they are diffraciton spikes
Nice catch !
That is a misalignement of the filters.
Cool effect ! 😉
That could well be very faint spiral arms
where ?
The bright orange objects (bottom right) are indeed two foreground stars from our galaxy.
:-DD
If I squint a bit I can see a two armed barred spiral
All these objects are stars from our galaxy.
Classify : star/artifact
I'd go for irregular with star forming regions
All the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
Satellite trail ! 😄
That is a satellite trail
So, how do you explain this shape ?
This is a satellite trail. Classify as star/artifact
Or it could be another (irregular ) galaxy. The image is too fuzzy to tell much more
That is a bright foreground star from our galaxy.
😄
This is a satellite trail !
It could be a foreground star
This is what stars from our galaxy look like in Hubble pics !
The objects here are definitely galaxies, but the image is too fuzzy (for me) to see if they are interacting
Looks like a lightly disturbed spiral to me.
Yes, almost every object in this image is a star from our galaxy.
They all appear green because something went wrong with the imaging.
The object to the right is also a galaxy. It appears to be close to the central one.
Always the one in the center of the image !
(I use a paper cut to size with a cross on it ! 😄 )
It's a possibility.
But too fuzzy to tell for me.
#dustlane
The bluish/green object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The colors and the center are (beautiful) optical artifacts
That's a nice one ! Haven't seen this before !
Cool artefact
The camera moved ! Lots of nice little artifacts
I can live with that ! 😃 (that is disturbed ! )
Slightly disturbed edge on for me. But hey, that is just me 😄
It is very fuzzy but since there are hardly any distortions, I'd go for #overlap too !
Great pic, even with the fuzziness ! 😄
Oh yes it is ! :-DDD
Nope, sorry. This is what stars from our galaxy look like in these Hubble pics.
The central object is indeed a (disturbed ?) galaxy. The bright white blob and the three red ones are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Could be, but there is no way to tell, just from this image.
You are correct though, almost every object here is a star from our galaxy.
Gorgeous merger !
Could be nothing going on. This is just too faint and fuzzy to tell anything about it. Sometimes this happens ! 😉
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=343.37313939&dec=31.64434563&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
The central galaxy could be classified as an irregular or a barred, disturbed spiral, or a combination ! 😉
The one to the left is Mrk 922
Definitely not stars. These two objects are galaxies. Probably ellipticals
Chance alignment of stars from our galaxy.
definitely a disturbed spiral
No dust cloud, but a faint and fuzzy galaxy
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it.
ooh, nice catch.
The green line is a satellite trail. The bright white/blue object at the bottom is a star from our galaxy
Almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The white/bluish object is a foreground star from our galaxy
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are just optical artefacts
Nope, just a bright star from our galaxy. The colors, weird center and spikes are all optical artefacts
No bulge, not even a galaxy. This is a star from our galaxy and the color is just an artefact
Too fuzzy and faint to tell, sorry
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more tell about it !
Yes, but not individual stars. The blue blobs are starforming regions in this galaxy.
I'd go for three arms too !
If it has a bar, it cannot be an elliptical. Maybe a lenticular.
In the center of the image is a faint and fuzzy galaxy. But you are right there is not much to say about it.
Looks likethe camera moved (among other things)
artifacts
Voorwerpjes are clouds of highly energized gas. The colors are usually amazing. These are probably galaxies
According to SIMBAD, this is a Seyfert1 (AGN). Nice catch !
That looks like an amazing piece of sky! Looking in NED, there are lots and lots of entries with some amazing z's.
So wish for an SDSS pic!
satellite trail !
Looks more like a 'ring' of star forming regions/disturbed spiral.
I'm thinking more of a disturbed spiral. But that is just me. If youthink this could be a lens, please classify it as one
😃
It looks a bit too irregular for a #lens, but I'd tag it anyway. The central galaxy is very disturbed, so merger is also possible. Nice !
The blue dots are star forming regions in the galaxy
These are satellite trails. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
irregular is a possibility. Disturbed spiral is another one. The blue clumps at the bottom are star forming regions in this galaxy
Yup ! 😄
It actually looks like two galaxies merging !
Could be !
Every object in this image is actually a star from our galaxy.
Another satellite trail 😃
That is a satellite trail. Th satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
Looks more like galaxies merging
Don't worry, with these difficult ones there are many possible answers.
disturbed spiral or one-armed spiral
Just answer the questions as well as you can.
These are stars from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are optical artifacts
Yup, lots of pretty stars from our galaxy
Nope, these are all foreground stars from our galaxy
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a foreground star from our galaxy, overlapping a background galaxy
This is just a bright star from our galaxy. Definitely not the sun or the moon. 😃
That is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image
The central object is a galaxy, the others are all foreground stars from our galaxy. No connection whatsoever with the galaxy.
More likely the camera moved: star/artifact
Every object you see here is a star from our galaxy
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are just artifacts
Attack of the Borg ! 😄
just skip this one : star/artifact
the spike to the right is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside of this image
Almost all the objects here are stars from our galaxy
Nothing, it is just an artifact
The bright yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy. Not possible
that teyare interacting.
That is a satellite trail
That is a satellite trail
The object to the right is a star from our galaxy. The colors are just artifacts
That is a satellite trail
Btw, the object you were supposed to classify is the little blog in the center of the image. Not much to tell about it.
the object in the bottom left corner is indeed a star from our galaxy. The colors, rings and spikes are all optical artifacts
Hi,
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Even if it is the most boring one ! 😄
😄
That is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image.
Looks nice though ! 😉
no lens
This is a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter

probably a star behind it .
Very psychedelic ! 😄
Although the central object is a disturbed galaxy,the bright spots in front of it are all foreground stars
spiral arms
Looks more like a faint and fuzzy galaxy to me
I'd go for galaxy.
Correct. Stars from a region where something definitely went wrong with the imaging 😄
Don't think so. The blue clumps are star forming regions in this irregular (or possibly disturbed edge on)
The object in the upper left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy
These are definitely galaxies and they are merging.
Don't worry, you'll soon see the difference between stars and galaxies ! 😄
too faint and fuzzy to tell.
It looks like two clumps
I'd go for a barred, two armed spiral with a big bulge. Anything odd : ring
This is definitely an edge on with a rounded bulge. The tiny blob at the left is probably an overlapping galaxy
These are stars from our galaxy, but something went very wrong with the imaging. The colors are artifacts
If you mean the white spiky thing to the right : yes, that is a star from our galaxy
These objects are not stars but galaxies
definitely artifact ! 😄
The object in the center (which you're supposed to classify) is a faint and fuzzy galaxy. The one top left is a star from our galaxy
It looks a bit odd, but this galaxy is so fuzzy and there is so much noise in the picture, that there is not much to say about it. Sorry
That is an optical artifact. it is caused by the glare of a bright star just outside of this image
The black dot is just an artifact. No dark matter or blak hole.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.
I see one spiral with possibly two spiral arms, maybe even a bar
Always classify the object in the center of the image
Even if it is the most boring one ! 😉
These are all stars from our galaxy, btw
All these objects here are stars from our galaxy.
That is a star from our galaxy, but the colors and the weird center are just optical artifacts
I don't think so.
Nope, these are all stars from our galaxy.
In the center is a faint and fuzzy galaxy.
The colorful spike is an artifact caused by a bright star just outside of this image
If it has a bar, it can't be an elliptical.
Elliptical = smooth, no features
I think it is just one star. The colors and the weird center are artifacts
The 'lightbulbs' are caused by the satellite spinning.
This is a satellite trail. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because of its speed it gets caught in only 1 filter
This is a star from our galaxy. Something went wrong with the imaging. The weird colors and center are just optical artifacts
The green line is a satellite trail.
The color is an optical artifact. Something went wrong with the imaging.
This is a star from our galaxy
Which objects are you referring too ?
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy. At these distances it is impossible to see individual stars.
Lots of noise.
Not much to see here.
The dark spots are artifacts, just like the colors and the spikes
Merger sounds okay to me.
The dark spot is an artifact caused by the brightness of the center.
The bright spot could be an overlapping galaxy
The central white object is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not much distortion. But it is still a possibility
That would be my guess too ! 😃
But it is a difficult one !
These objects are stars from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are optical artifacts
This is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The rings, colors and spikes are indeed artifacts
There are indeed two fuzzy galaxies in this pic. Not much more to tell, sorry
The colors are just artifacts
Always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most
Almost every object in this image is a star from our galaxy.
Satellite trail
if you squint really hard, it could look like a fuzzy spiral 😉
or an edge on with a rounded bulge ?
Not much distortion, no merger for me
The object in the center of the image is a galaxy, the one on the left is a foreground star from our galaxy
The blue clumps are definitely star forming regions
Somehow, I'd go for merger for these two. But hey, that is just me ! 😄
Well, mergers usually look very dramatic ! 😄
Gorgeous one !
Oooh, definitely a #merger
A fuzzy two-armed barred, disturbed spiral would be my idea, but whatever you think is right is just as valuable.
The central galaxies looks like an overlap , but the behind central one and the top one definitely look like they are interacting : MERGER
I still think it is a #merger#merger#merger ! 😄
No edge on, and not a merger. But definitely an irregular !
Looks a bit artificial: artifact for me
With these kind of disturbances it is safe to say : merger ! 😉
Sorry, no asteroids here !
Something went very wrong with the imaging.
There is no obvious culprit in sight. Could be the result of a flyby ?
Two or three very faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much more to tell, sorry
What do you mean when you call this 'anxious' ?
Looks like it : SIMBAD says it's a Seyfert1 galaxy
Or very small (as galaxies go, of course !)
What a gorgeous pic.
Looks like a #merger and an #overlap
It is not a galaxy but a star from our galaxy. The color and weird center are just optical artifacts
Always classify what is in the center of the image.
The green line is a satellite trail !
That is a star. The colors and the weird center are optical artifacts
Looks like a merger to me
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=189.08824667&dec=25.98946992&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It's NGC4565
See next post for complete and rotated pic.
Gorgeous !
I don't think it is Mrk91. See the pic in the previous post
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=128.11717934&dec=52.60622798&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
The galaxy definitely looks disturbed. The pink color could be an ionized cloud.
Possible #voorwerpje
I wouldn't call these two red, but lovely merger indeed
The dark spot is an optical artifact caused by the very bright center
Yes, That is a star
It is not a galaxy. This is indeed a star. The green colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
Correct. The rings, colors and spikes are just optical artifacts
It's an optical artifact caused by the glare of a bright star just outside of this picture
The three objects are foreground stars from our galaxy
The central object is a galaxy for me too. The other ones are definitely stars
That is a possibility.
But for me, the galaxies are just too fuzzy to tell.
Lots of the rings are actually two armed spirals where the arms loop back all the way.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=184.6828023&dec=47.2920151&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It is actually a star forming region in a huge spiral (NGC4258)
See next post for rotated and zoomed out pic
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Too fuzzy to tell for me.
Sorry, no mergers here.
Almost every object in this picture is a star from our galaxy
Just remember the fact that a lot of people are looking at these same images is the core of Zooniverse projects. Every vote counts ! 😉
Nope,no merger here. These are stars from our galaxy. The colors and weird centers are just optical artifacts (malfunctioning filters)
There is a faint and fuzzy image int he center of the image. The rest is just noise !
😄
Although the central object is a galaxy, almost every other object is a foreground star from our galaxy
I'd say probably not.
This is what a satellite trail looks like. The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only 1 filter
a very disturbed galaxy.
No arc (gravitational lens)
The 'ring' is probably two faint spiral arms
enough disturbance to qualify as a merger in progress
Almost every object in this image is a star from our galaxy
too faint and fuzzy to tell for me, sorry ! 😉
Nope, not a galaxy at all !
This is a satellite trail (star/artifact for classification)
The object in the lower left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The weird colors are just optical artifacts
Could be, but then again the central object is just too faint and fuzzy to tell anything about it, sorry
Great !
In this case the gorgeous #dustlane makes it very hard to go for the central one ! ;-D
Definitely no elipticals (if this is what you mean by early )
And with this kind of interaction, merger is a safe bet
What do you mean by early ? Early type ?
Anyway they look distorted and appear to be interacting : merger
Visually these galaxies are distorted. Galaxies that are interacting are distorted. Therefore : merger
don't see a bar and what ansa ?
Just visually there is obviously distortion, meaning interaction, meaning merger
If there is distortion, it means there is interaction and therefore I conclude merger
Just looking at this pic I see distortion
I'd still go for merger for these ones
Probably 😉
Second that ! ALWAYS classify the one in the center of the image even if it is the most boring one ! 😉
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=116.08978676&dec=38.81384507&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It's an optical artifact caused by the glare from a very bright star from our galaxy which is just outside of this pic.
distortion equals merger
Too fuzzy to tell, sorry
Definitely a spiral !
great distortion equals #merger
Don't worry, they look very fuzzy to all of us ! 😉
nice distortion : #merger
definitely some distortion : #merger
great #merger
lots of distortion : #merger
lots of distortion : #merger
nice interaction : #merger
Looks distorted to me : #merger
Nope, not an explosion. This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The weird colors are optical artifacts
nice merger
really nice merger
edge on for me too
looks like a disturbed spiral arm
Two interacting galaxies = merger
The blue clumps are star forming regions in the galaxy
Please don't classify these as star/artifact !
Just try and give it your best shot !
Definitely some interaction
merger in progress
Most of the objects here are foreground stars from our galaxy
Disturbed spiral : correct ! 😉
The red line is just a satellite trail, that's all.nothing to get worried about
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy ! Not much more to tell about it, sorry
The central object is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy and so is the top one. Not much more to tell about them, sorry
Doesn't look like an edge on to me. More a fuzzy spiral (if you squint hard enough)
Very nice interaction going on. Merger in progress !
Some serious interaction. Merger in progress for me !
Something went very wrong with the imaging here. This is a star from our galaxy. The color is not real ! 😃
That is an optical artifact. you can see that the line dividing it is very straight
The green line is a satellite trail
Spikey white object in the bottom right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes,colors&weird center are all optical artifact
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=18.94897302&dec=43.18526225&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
If you follow the link to the Skyserver page, you'll see that a lot of the objects here have the same blue spot.
Definitely artifact
Nice merger in progress
Very fuzzy. Looks disturbed. Possible merger
I'd go for merger too
#overlap or #merger ?
Some disturbance. could be a merger in progress
No dustlane for me here
Not a supernova, just a bright star from our galaxy. To determine if it is a SN you would need a before and after pic
The bright, spikey object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts
Although the central object is a galaxy, almost every other object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it.
Always classify what is in the center of the image. In this case : star/artifact
The bright orange object is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy.
Most of the objects in this image are stars
The dark ring is probably just an optical artifact
Honestly ! With these kind of disturbances, merger is the only thing to go for !
Not a galaxy. This is a star from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are just artifacts
The bright one could also be a superimposed foreground star
The blue spot is an artifact. The object itself is a star from our galaxy.
Definitely a merger ! Lovely pic ! 😃
These objects are all foreground stars from our galaxy
The central object is definitely a foreground star from our galaxy.
Correct ! the bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts
The bright object (top left) is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The central object (which you should classify) is a faint & fuzzy galaxy
faint and fuzzy galaxy
What do you mean by 'central sun' ?
Galaxies don't have a central sun
Tidal tails for both the galaxies means that they are interacting.
Merger in progress.
The central yellow object is a galaxy. The white ones are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
This is not a star with a dustcloud around it.
This is a galaxy with millions and millions of stars in it
All the objects here are foreground stars from our galaxy
Not much disturbance. #overlap for me
Looks like it ! 😃
Two of the three galaxies show some sign of disturbance. I'd go for merger
I'd go for an irregular galaxy here !
And the blue blobs are not individual stars but star forming regions in this galaxy
The green line is a satellite trail
Don't you just love the foreground stars superimposed ! Perfectly aligned ! 😃
That is a flare (optical artifact) caused by a bright star outside of this picture
Yup ! 😉
Three stars, don't know about the ages though
It's an optical artifact.
If you mean the three objects to the left of the central galaxy : that is just a chance alignment of three foreground stars from our galaxy
Don't really think these two are merging. It's possible that they just appear to be close together
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are just optical artifacts
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Even if it is the most boring one ! 😃
#overlap
That is a star from our galaxy. The colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
The colorful dots are 'noise'. The object in the center of the image and the ones to the left are galaxies
It's a faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it
Yes, every object in this image is a star from our galaxy
where ?
btw, did you notice the asteroid in the bottom right corner (the blue/red/green thingy) ?
Could be an overlap !
That is a possibility!
and just so this doesn't get lost #voorwerpje ?
Not an artifact. Perhaps another galaxy ?
I can see the galaxy in the center but I can't see any jets, sorry !
The object itself is a foreground tar. The colors and weird center are indeed optical artifacts
SkyServer seems to think it is a galaxy.And it doesn't seem very starlike to me. But unfortunately no other info available.
So : Don't know
These are all foreground stars
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy
Not much distortion. Don't think this is a merger
Yup, you are correct. This is a star !
The green line is a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
It's a star from our galaxy. This pic comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. The colors are optical artifacts
It's an edge on. Could be a spiral or a disk.
(I'm guessing spiral)
Ys, that is a star from our galaxy
No merger. These are three foreground stars
At these distances it is impossible to see planets.
The object in the center is a galaxy. The bright object to the elft is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger, no cluster, sorry
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the blue spot are optical artifacts
The blue object is a bright foreground star.
The bright object next to the central galaxy is a foreground star. The colors and weird center are just optical artifacts.
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it ! (sorry)
In the center of the image (which you should classify) there is only noise. The spikes are diffraction spikes from a nearby star
Nice one ! 😃
The 'debris' is probably just noise !
Nope, not a galaxy. This is a foreground star from our galaxy. Something went definitely wrong with the imaging ! 😉
A faint and fuzzy galaxy, not much more to tel about it! Sorry 😃
These are indeed foreground stars. The weird colors and centers are just optical artifacts
The green line is a satellite trail. So star/artifact is the only possible classification here !
Merger is definitely a possibility
Probably not
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! 😉)
Sorry, looks like noise to me
If you mean the faint line(bottom left),it's probably a diffraction spike from a nearby star
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Always classify the central object !
Good call ! 😃
That is entirely your call. Just give it your best shot
Definitely merger
The weird center is just an optical artifact (it's not real) caused by the brightness of the star.
Not much detail noticeable, but this is probably a tight spiral
The two galaxies look disturbed to me. I'd go for merger
The blue blobs are not individual stars but star forming regions in this galaxy
The green line is a satellite trail. The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter
The green line is a satellite trail. The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter
Yup, definitely stars. Again from a region with imaging problems
No lensing. This is a ringed galaxy with a bar
Not much distortion but it is still a possibilty.
Nope, not a merger. I see a barred spiral with two very faint arms
These objects are indeed all foreground stars from our galaxy.
Looks more like a dense spiral to me.
That is a satellite trail
The bright object to the right is a bright foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are just optical artifacts
That is a great merger !
Could be an optical artifact.
But, just give it your best shot !
Just go for it
I don't think it is that very far away.
Looks like a foreground star to me (sorry)
#voorwerpje ?
I'd say yes to merger ! 😃
You are correct, that is just an artifact. No need to tag this. Unless you find it fun to collect these. It's up to you ! 😉
Just have fun
Definitely merger
merger for me
Looks like one to me too !
The object in the top right corner is not an explosion but a foreground star. The colors and the spikes are optical artifacts
This is actually a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are just optical artifacts
A galaxy
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
No lens for me. Spirals are usually not massive enough to do any lensing
The colors, the spikes, the blue center are just optical artifacts.
Looks cool though ! 😉
Neither ! These two objects are both foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors are just an optical artifact
Definitely ! 😄
You are correct : the objects in the center of the image are foreground stars (as are almost all of the objects in this image)
You are correct ! the two bright red objects are indeed foreground stars !
What made you go for starforming ?
(just asking)
I'd go for a slightly disturbed spiral 😉
Third : no, it is not a supernova. It's just a bright star
Second : the object in the bottom right corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the spikes are just optical artifacts.
First of:ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image (even if there is nothing there or it is the most boring one)
I'd lean slightly towards merger.Agreed,not that much interaction,but then again, these are ellipticals, so distortions are not that visible
Correct:The central object is a galaxy, but most of the other objects are foreground stars.
By the way: always classify the central object
The two bright blue/white objects (and the little red one) are all foreground stars from our galaxy. So no merger posssible
Care to help me out here : what does 'bid' mean ? #justasking ;-D
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=38.09151913&dec=3.04290369&scale=0.09903175&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
In the next post you'll find the whole pic (rotated) and I think it is a foreground star !
There is definitely another galaxy at the bottom left of the central one. Whether it is connected to it : really can't tell
To object is a foreground star.
The object in the bottom left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy !
#voorwerpje ?
Lots of disturbance : merger for me.
If you do a search here on talk or on the forum for "merger", you'll find lots of examples
Very probable !
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Not much more to tell about it !
Correct ! 😄
Don't think it is an artifact.Looks like one or two galaxies to me.With these fuzzy Hubble pics it is not easy.Just give it your best shot
You are correct. These objects aren't galaxies. Every one of these colorfull objects is a foreground star from our galaxy
Looks more like 'noise'.
And a star is not massive enough to do that kind of lensing
Gorgeous irregular
The object in the top right corner is a foreground star.
The other two objects left and right of the galaxy could also be stars.
Yup, correct. It is a sort of overexposure.
You'll see this in very bright objects
Looks like a chance alignment to me
also barred and with a big bulge
That is not a jet but probably another small (or far away big) galaxy
Why a black hole merger ?
This could be a merger of galaxies or a clumpy galaxy
The blob to the right of the center is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
If you mean the spike in the top left corner ? Yes that is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a bright nearby star
Looks like a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a nearby star.
wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
This is a foreground star.
Something went very wrong with the imaging. The colors are optical artifacts
It is a satellite trail.
The satellite reflects the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
Definitely not a galaxy.
It's an optical artifact
It's an optical artifact caused by a bright star outside of this image
Nope, just a bright star ! sorry
Btw, always classify the image in the center of the image.
That is a foreground star from our galaxy
double what ?
With things like these : it is very safe to say (or shout) 😃 STAR/ARTIFACT !!!!!
😄
The two bright white objects are definitely two foreground stars, so no interaction possible with the central gakaxy
Nopes, nothing blue-shifted here ; just a bunch of artefacts here !
Lots of optical artifacts here. Not sure what these two objects are !
I'm thinking stars
btw, diffraction spike : wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=211.35396004&dec=-9.38279665&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
In the next post, you'll find the rotated and zoomed out pic. the spike is a diffraction spike from a star outside of the pic
This is just a badly imaged foreground star.
If you see something like this, just click star/artifact
Happy Hunting ! 😄
Almost every object here is a foreground star
Definitely not a gravitational lens effect !
Looks more like a two armed, barred spiral to me
Ooh, nice one !
This could actually qualify as a boxy bulge !
Haven't seen one like these for ages !
And again, this is a satellite rail ! You know the drill / explanation by now !
star/artifact
Definitely a satellite trail
Nothing ! It is just an optical artifact. This is a forground star, but as said before the colors are not real
Wow ! : A satellite trail !
The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in the green filter
Every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy
Nope, the central object is a galaxy, but the bright white one is a foreground star from our galaxy. So NO interaction possible
The yellow objeet at the top of the central galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy. So no interaction whatsoever possible
Gorgeous dustlane!
Don't think so ! Not much distortion.
What !
Sorry, i'd go for a nice merger between two ellpiticals
Nope. the two green objects are foreground stars. The green color is just an optical artifact
Not much interaction/distortion so I'm leaning towards overlap
But the bright white object is a foreground star. The galaxy this one is interacting with is outside of this image.
Correct : ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image.
But also correct, the green glare is an optical artifact from a star
Definitely not a nebula.
What a gorgeous galaxy with a dustlane
Definitely not a merger !
The two bright object to the lower right are both foreground stars
You're right!
So, how did you classify it ? (just curious)
Hurray ! You found a satellite trail! 😉
The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter
It's just someone's private project. It has no scientific value whatsoever. Please ignore it.
Happy Hunting ! 😉
Definitely some interaction
Wow, breathtaking merger !
Foreground star overlapping a galaxy.
In the (rotated) and zoomed out pic you can see that it is a blue satellite trail
😄

Irregular !
I'd go for merger on this one
Just a star. Something went seriously wrong with the imaging.
The colors and center and weird blob are all optical artifacts (sorry)
Yup !
The bright blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Yup ! 😄
This is a star. The colors and the weird center and blue blob are just optical artifacts
Nope, sorry.
the orange object is a foreground star
The central object is a galaxy. the other ones are all foreground stars.
No cluster, sorry
The object in the left bottom corner is a foreground star. The spikes, and colors are all optical artifacts
Not an asteroid.
Can't really tell what it is.
Bottom left looks like a foreground star to me. 😃
This is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The colors and the weird center are optical artifacts
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. the colors and the weird center are all optical artifacts
yes, top right = a star
The two bright blobs in the bottom right corner are foreground stars from our galaxy
The bright object in the top left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy
Two stars for me too
Every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Not an artifact. these are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
the bright white object to the left of the central galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy
Hard to tell with these fuzzy images. Not much distortion
As I understand it the other galaxies will get center stage as well !
I prefer the fleet of spaceships explanation but unfortunately it's a glitch ! 😄
i could be wrong, but these two objects look like two galaxies to me. Possible merger or not ! Your guess is as good as mine !
The central object is a galaxy and there are a lot of foreground stars in this pic.
Well, there isn't a fhb button ! 😃
So, how did you classify this ?
It probably is a spiral, but a bit fuzzy. Can't tell how many arms ! (probably two)
I always look for distortions in the galaxies involved. No distortions equals to no merger for me
The top object is most probably a foreground star. The other one is a background galaxy. Don't worry you'll get to know them soon !
This is not a Hubble pic, I'd go for elliptical for this one
The central object is definitely a galaxy. All the other ones are probably foreground stars. Good call ! 😃
If you see these weird colors all over the place, just go for star/artifact. Something went very, very wrong with the imaging here !
Just answer the questions !
Features ? I'd say yes ! And from there on I'd say an edge on with a rounded bulge
Which one did you classify ?
Great pic, anyway ! 😉
Agreed : very disturbed ! 😉
I know I said irregular before, but on second thought disturbed spiral doesn't sound too bad !
Just give it your best shot ! 😃
The bright red object is a foreground star from our galaxy
That is a difraction spike from a nearby star.
wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
Definitely dustlane
WOW ! 😄

The green line is a satellite trail and the bright object in the left bottom corner is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Could be a diffraction spike from a star outside of this pic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
No, I mean that it is a foreground star.
Because it is very bright it overloads the camera and you get these weird colors
Because it streaked past when the image with the green filter was taken
These pictures are taken with five different filters (red, green, blue, and two others)
You can get red or blue satellite trails too
The blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the center are optical artifacts
That is a satellite trail.
The sunlight reflects of the satellite and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter
A couple of faint and fuzzy galaxies
None !
These two objects are foreground stars from our galaxy
There is a faint and fuzzy galaxy in the center of the image. Not much more to tell about it.
The colored pixels around it is just noise
Sorry, that is just an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the core !
Nope, no stars, no supernovae, no gas cloud. 'Just' two galaxies merging !
Nice catch ! 😃
Wow ! great find!just answer the questions to the best of your ability. And if people have different answers that will surely alert the PTB
An almost edge on for some or a very loose two-armed spiral for others!
And both classifications are great!
Just give it your best shot
So, how did you classify this image ?😄
i wouldn't call this one an irregular.Maybe edge-on, or spiral.Mostly irregulars are blue with starforming regions.But give it your bestshot
Wow ! with this kind of distortion : definitely merger
Definitely a merger
The object in the center is a faint and fuzzy galaxy (that's the one you're supposed to classify)
The spikey thing is a foreground star
That is just an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the center
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
I'd go for star/artifact for this one
Awww ! 😉
Really nice merger !
The bluish/white object is indeed a foreground star (not a pea, sorry)
That is probably a foreground star.

That line is a diffraction spike(optical artifactfrom a bright star just outside of this image. See the zoomed out and rotated pic next post
All these objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. The three in a row is just a chance alignment.
Yes, almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
A gorgeous merger.
The bright blue dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Almost all the objects here are foreground stars from our galaxy
I'd say elliptical 😃
The bright blue/white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
These objects are actually foreground stars. The colors, rings and centers are all optical artifacts
This is a foreground star. The colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
Nope, most of these objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Definitely ! 😃
Nope. I'd go with irregular galaxy for the one to the left
These objects are probably foreground stars. Their weird appearance and color are just optical artifacts.No interaction !
I'd go for merger too with these two.
If you squint real hard you can see two faint arms.
i'd go for a barred two-armed spiral too !
The central object is definitely a galaxy. The red glow is just an optical artifact
Definitely a star.
This image comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging
Always, always classify the object in the center of the image(even if it is the most boring one!)In this case, ,I'd go for star/artifact too
Most definitely two stars.
The colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
That is actually a satellite trail
The central object (which you are supposed to classify) is a faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Sorry, not much more to tell about it ! 😄
Definitely a possibility
Sorry, no dustlane for me
It's a possibility. But overlap is also possible.
Just give it your best shot
Sorry, no merger here. These two objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. They just appear to be touching each other.
Nice catch !
The objects here aren't galaxies but foreground stars. And there is NO merging going on, sorry.
Please remember to always classify the central object ! 😄
What distance ! 😉
Again, no way to tell just from this pic. We'll need redshift.
No idea !
It looks like a very faint galaxy.So it could be close and faint or very far away. No way to tell without additional information
Those aren't galaxies but foreground stars from our galaxy.
This image is from a region where something went wrong with the imaging.It's a foreground star from our galaxy. Lots of optical artifacts
Well, the one in the middle will definitely get some very different classifications !
I see (maybe)a two-armed barred, disturbed spiral

In the zoomed out view you can definitely see the interaction between these two galaxies ! Gorgeous merger
Something went very wrong with the imaging. Optical artifact
Probably overlap with another galaxy.
Probably a line where the pics were stitched together
Please, always classify the object in the center of the image.
Gorgeous pic though ! ;-D
You are correct, that is indeed a foreground star. The colors and the weird blue spot are optical artifacts
Happy Hunting ! 😄
Definitely merger for me !
Not an explosion.
This is a galaxy !
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image.
In this picture almost every object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nope, galaxy !
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image.
Every object in this pic is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright white objects with the spikes are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The spikes and the colors are optical artifacts
Most of the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
And ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image
That green line is a satellite trail
The central object is an edge on galaxy. The other two bright yellow ones & the little red one are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nope , no dust lane in sight.
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy.
This is not a cluster of galaxies. Just a bunch of foreground stars
Yes, this is definitely a galaxy
This is a satellite trail
Those are two foreground stars from our galaxy
There appears to be a very faint and fuzzy galaxy in the center (and a couple more).
Not much to tell about it though
Yes, definitely a foreground star. The colors and weird center are optical artifacts
If you mean the white/green things : those are foreground stars and the colors are optical artifacts
I don't think it is anything as spectacular as that.
Looks like a foreground star and a galaxy in the background to me.
What's the meaning of notam_word ?
Correct about the foreground star ! 😉
There's no way that you can say it is a supernova by just looking a 1 pic !
So, what do you mean ?
Yup !
Good call !
With this much features, no way you can call this an elliptical.
I see a two-armed, dominant bulge, spiral and as an aside : ringed
It's a possibility !
This definitely qualifies as a merger !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=184.73958557&dec=47.30397111&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Always classify the object in the center of the image !
I'll post a link to the whole image !
The blue clouds are actually star forming regions in the galaxy !
Nothing of that. It's just an optical artifact caused by the glare of a bright star outside of this picture.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=181.0017455&dec=31.89991043&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Here's the full and rotated pic ! Gorgeous !
Looks more like an overlap : not much distortion !
Nope, not a red giant. Just a bright foreground star. The colors and spikes are just optical artifacts (sorry)
Nope, just a foreground star.The spikes are diffraction spikes (optical artifact)
wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
The larger object in the upper left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. Every object in this image is also a foreground star.
You could go for a barred two-armed spiral.
Or a barred irregular (maybe it is ust a bit too regular for that)
Just give it your best sho
I'd say face on, because you can clearly see the two arms and the bar.
That is a satellite trail. Because the satellite moves so fast it only gets caught in one of the filters !
Definitely a galaxy. The bright blobs are starforming regions in this galaxy. At these distances it is not possible to see individual stars
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts

These definitely look like stars. In the next post you can find the link to the zoomed out pic. There is even a little nebula there ! 😄
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. It is simply not possible to directly see planets at these distances
These are foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors and the weird center are optical artifacts
Not much distortion. Not a merger for me !
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the center are indeed optical artifacts
Yup, artifacts.
Definitely a merger

Here's the zoomed out and rotated pic.
It's definitely another galaxy ! 😉
Correct ! That is indeed a foreground star !
The 'dust cloud' is another galaxy.
Nope, just a foreground star. The colors are just optical artifacts
It's a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell about it.
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Optical artifact caused by the very bright center
Fir a grav lens you need a massive galaxy to do the lensing. Here you just have two similar galaxies close together.
As I understand it the image in DR8 and DR9 is the same one. In DR9 there is just a lot of additional information
If you look closely you see that it is a blue/red/green object : it's an asteroid
I'd go for merger
The yellow color means that the galaxy has a population mainy of older redder stars. The blue color means it has mainly younger blue stars
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy, not much more to tell about it ! Sorry !
Definitely funny ! 😉
😄
Two foreground stars with lots of optical artifacts
I'd go for merger too !
Two-armed spiral with an inner ring.
The two objects in the center are definitely galaxies merging.
The blue/red/green object is an asteroid
These two objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy. They only appear to be touching.
Always classify the object in the center of the image ! In this case, not a lot to be seen, so star/artifact.
Misalignement of filters and lots of other problems. Star/artifact is the only option here ! 😉
The bluish/white object is indeed a foreground star. So there is no interaction possible between it and the central galaxy.
Could be an #overlap
The central object is a galaxy and so is the one to the left. The other objects are all foreground stars
No merger. The yellow object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
Nope, the two white objects are foreground stars, so no interaction possible between them and the galaxy.
Yes, this is a star. This comes from a region where something went wrong with the imaging. The colours are optical artifacts
The three objects in the center of this image are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
Nope, not a merger. These are foreground stars. Something went wrong with the imaging. The colors are just optical artifacts
The colors of these foreground stars are not the real colors of these stars. They're just optical artifacts

That is a very bright star from our galaxy. The colors and the spikes are optical artifacts.
No explosion involved !
Every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy.
These are all stars from our galaxy !
Beautiful ! 😃
Don't think this is a merger. The bottom white blob just under the core is probably a foreground star
The bright blue object is a foregound star. The colors and the spikes are optical artifacts!
Btw, always classify the object in the center
Definitely not a galaxy. 😄
This is a satellite trail
possible #polarring
These objects are not galaxies, but foreground stars from our galaxy.
This is actually a foreground star. The colors and the weird center are just optical artifacts.

Definitely !
Almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
The object in the top right corner is a foreground star. The colours, weird center and spikes are all optical artifacts
I agree totally !
All complaints to ZookeeperChris or zookeeper as he is known here !
But what a nice mess !
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image even if it is the most boring one! 😉
That is a satellite trail ! The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter.
The bright white object is probably a foreground star
Yup, three stars ! 😄
This is a galaxy with an AGN . According to SIMBAD it is a Seyfert1 galaxy.

And a merger of a spiral with an elliptical will eventually end up as an ellip
Nothing but artifacts;
This place doesn't exist, sorry ! 😉
I'd say yes !
Foreground star for me !
The star in the upper left corner is sooo far away from the central galaxy. There is no interaction possible whatsoever !
Two-armed spiral with a dustlane ? 😉
That is a possibility
Yes, something went wrong with the imaging, filters.
In the wider view you can see that there are a lot of stars.
Not a cluster, I think.
Not sure what the green dot is. Could be a foreground star. Or an artifact
The dark spot is an optical artifact caused by the bright center
That dot is an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the center
At these distances it is impossible to see planets.
the objects in the top left corner are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
I'd go for an irregular galaxy for this one
Looks like a foreground star to me. Just a star, not a supernova
I don't think this is a lens.
I see a two armed spiral
These objects are all foreground stars from our galaxy.
With these kind of distortions I think it is a safe bet to go for merger ! 😄
Yes, timbw is correct.
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! 😉)
Correct !
Btw, always classify what is in the center of the image. In this case star/artifact !
Looks more disk like than elliptical.
Not too sure about a spiral. If you squint really hard you can make out a vague spirally effect.
I'm thinking foreground star.
I'd go for merger !

The bluish/white dot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
No supernova, sorry !
Your guess is as good as mine !
Don't worry ! Lot of differences will alert the scientists
Without the redshifts, your guess is as good as mine!
The little one to the bottom left is indeed a foreground star (sorry!)
I'd go for overlap too
These objects are foreground stars. And the colours and the weird center are just optical artifacts
Don't believe everything Skyserver tells you ! 😃
Of course, usually it is right, but sometimes it is not.
Don't think this is dust ! Just a two armed, disturbed galaxy
This is a satellite trail !
No star in the middle. This galaxy has a very bright center !
And I'd go for an edge on with a rounded bulge !
Disturbed spiral/maybe irregular with star forming regions.
Just give it your best shot ! 😃

I'd say a disturbed galaxy, with probably a foreground star superimposed.
Optical artifacts caused by the brightness of the core

A fuzzy galaxy
More like faint spiral arms
Looks like it.
That is probably a foreground star
At these distances we cannot see individual stars. The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy.

The yellow dot is indeed a foreground star. As for the galaxies, I'd go for merger.
Yes, the blue clumps are part of the galaxy. They are star forming regions
Yes, those are galaxies too. But I don't think they are interacting with the central ones
Correct. This image comes from a region where something went wrong with the imaging. The colours are definitely not real.
There could be a merger going on in the center. It looks as there are two (maybe three galaxies involved.
Just my 'guess' 😄
Could be a cosmic ray that didn't get removed
Don't think it's four galaxies. Looks like two two-armed, big bulge, galaxies
Yup !
Those spikes are called diffraction spikes.
wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
I think I can see some spiral arms.
Bottom left : bright foreground star. The colours, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts
Very possible
Three foreground stars

It looks unusual. But without additional information, there is not much to tell. Sorry
Almost every object in this image is a foreground star.
Some galaxies. Not much more to tell, sorry
But the central object is a galaxy.
Bottom left is a bright foreground star
Some of the more reddish ones could be very far away galaxies. But they could also be stars.

The green/blue object is an asteroid.
Nice catch
Not a star ! This is an elliptical galaxy.
I'd go for smooth and round for this one !
This is definitely a galaxy.
Why do you think this could be an artifact ??
Merging already I think.
This is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not a star.
No supernovae, just two bright stars
The central object is a galaxy. The bright coloured pointy thing is a foreground star. The spikes and the colours are optical artifacts
Nice star !
I have no idea what you are referring to !
It is possible. But on the other hand, not much distortion !
😉
At these distances it is impossible to see planets. If you mean the bright white blob, that is a foreground star from our galaxy
Don't overdo the thinking !
I'm just seeing a very large bulge.
ALWAYS, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one ! 😉
The object you should be classifying is the central object of this image.I know it can be frustrating,but that's what we are supposed to do.
The central object is just a very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
The bright blob is almost certainly a foreground star from our galaxy.

Definitely not stars. A very nice and unusual merger of galaxies
The bright blob is a foreground star, sorry !
With these kind of distortions, definitely interaction !
Could be ! There is some distortion, so possible interaction.
Again, definitely two galaxies. No distortion, so not too sure about a merger.
Great merger.
The red object to the bottom left is a foreground star. So NO interaction possible between the star and the galaxies
Almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Sorry, nothing special !

Not an explosion. The colours and the spikes are just optical artifacts
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy in front of a galaxy.
Not much distortion ! I'd go for overlap
Not a supernova. Just a foreground star. The colours and the spikes are optical artifacts
Most of the objects in this image are foreground stars
Could be a foreground star.
Looks like an artifact to me
The little yellow object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
That is a satellite trail
A very bright foreground star
That is a bright foreground star from our galaxy. No explosion
A really great merger
disturbed, two-armed spiral for me
The bright bluish/green object is indeed a foreground star
This is probably not a galaxy but a star. The colours are optical artifacts.
This is an irregular galaxy.
The one from susanwill is more a disturbed spiral
No, definitely not a nebula.
This is a galaxy.
I think I can see a bar.
But all in all I'd go for irregular for this one !
I'd go for disturbed spiral, but, hey, that is just me!
Just give it your best shot ! 😃
nice merger !
Top left corner : two foreground stars.
But, always classify the image in the center. Here: absolutely nothing !
Star/artifact
But just looking at the images, I'd say 80% of the galaxies looks to be alone !
Ouch, that is a shame. I've had some problems tonight too, but after hitting refresh for a couple of dozen times, it kicked in again 😄

Here's the rotated full pic ! Gorgeous merger !
I'd also go for disturbed spiral.
No idea what a fieldG is ! And I've been classifying for a very long time ! 😃
The red could also be a foreground star and the green just part of the galaxy.
Just because they appear close together doesn't mean they are actually close to each other.
Nope, definitely not a comet. Could be a disturbed edge on, or an irregular galaxy
If you mean the bright white object to the top right of the galaxy : that is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The dark spot in the center is just an optical artifact caused by the center being very bright. (overexposure)
The object in the center is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell, sorry !
Just a star. The spikes and colours are just optical artifacts.
I'd go for a disturbed spiral !
Correct, thatis not a galaxy. It's an optical artifact caused by the glare of a nearby bright star just outside of the image
Don't think these are satellites.
Here something went very wrong with the imaging.
The blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy
With a gorgeous #dustlane
Gorgeous #dustlane
Correct ! Always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one in the picture ! 😄
Yup, concurr with Trevor. Definitely not lensing as in the opening post.
It could go either way. That is the beauty of this kind of project. The fact that we disagree will alert the scientists ! 😄
Could be a foreground star, but with these Hubble pics I'm really not sure ! 😉
These are all just foreground stars with some funky optical artifacts !
Looks like satellite trails to me.
Just give it your best shot ! 😃
I'd go for smooth and round for this one
Good call : ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one) 😃
Good call ! 😃
smooth and round would be my classification too.
If you mean the bright white object at the top of the image, that is a foreground star
The bright orange object in the center is indeed a foreground star. And so are most of the objects in this image
This is an optical artifact caused by the glare of a bright star just outside of this image
All these stars are foreground stars from our galaxy and are in no way associated with the central galaxy
The green line is a satellite trail
The bright orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy
😄
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Just give it your best shot ! 😃
Not an elliptical for me. I think I see faint arms.
The orange in the center is an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the center
Oh yes ! 😄
This is actually a foreground star. The colours and weird center are just optical artifacts
Could be a merger or possibly an overlap
#voorwerpje ?
The blue object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. the colours and the spikes are all optical artifacts
These are foreground stars from our galaxy. The colours and the weird center are just optical artifacts.
Yup, optical artifact. Btw, almost all the objects here are foreground stars
I'd go for spiral too.
Not much distortion. I'd go for overlap
The yellow blob to the right of the center of the spiral could be a foreground star.
(no merger for me)
Almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars
Yup ! 😃

That is part of a nebula ! Click on link in next post for a zoomed out view
I'm thinking star too. The blue dot is an optical artifact
That is a foreground star
Definitely a star !
This is not a galaxy but a foreground star. The colors are all optical artifacts.
Always classify the object in the center of the image. In this case star/artifact would be my choice ! 😃

Definitely a galaxy !
Sorry, no merger here. Most of the objects here are foreground stars
And always classify the central object in the image
Two disturbed galaxies. Definitely not a lens
A nice barred spiral
I'd go for merger too !
Your guess is as good as mine. Just give it your best shot !
Both options are valid
Nope, sorry. Just a fuzzy and far away galaxy.
Merger describes this perfectly ! 😃
Not a nebula, definitely a galaxy
No merger ! Most of the objects here are foreground stars from our galaxy.
The two objects are foreground stars from our galaxy
artifact
Definitely a galaxy, with a bright core
features, not an edge on, barred, spiral, medium, two arms, obvious/dominant bulge, disturbed
But hey, that is just me ! 😉
i'm thinking the object to the left is a foreground star
You only get the clump option for the Hubble pics. the clumpy option is not available for the SDSS pics.
Yup, stars, but definitely not merging
More like artifacts, I'm afraid
I'm thinking one galaxy and a foreground star
I'd go for disturbed, but if you think it is a merger,that is okay too
If there is nothing to see in the center, classify as star/artifact
Always classify the central object. In this case, it is not very clear what to classify, so star/artifact.
The objects in the bottom left corner are foreground stars.
Btw, ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image
That is a satellite trail
Most likely a foreground star
Always classify the object in the center of the image

Click on Galaxy Zoo examine (under the image), then on View on skyserver. Lots of info there.
More info in NED, SIMBAD, etc (left side)
Disturbed spiral for me (again)
Sorry, not a merger. these objects are all foreground stars who appear to be close together
Central object is a faint and fuzzy galaxy. Definitely not a star
disturbed ringed galaxy?(certainly not a dust lane)
That is a satellite trail.
The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast, it only gets caught in one filter.
I'd go for disturbed spiral.
The weird colors are optical artifacts. The object is a foreground star
Nice two-armed spiral, slightly disturbed
Most of the objects here are foreground stars
No, most of the objects in this image are foreground stars
Nope, most of the objects here are foreground stars
Always classify the central object.
In this case I'd go for smooth and round ! 😃
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one.
So here it is the galaxy.
it's a faint and fuzzy galaxy. I'd start with features and then no all the way.
This is definitely a galaxy.
Just answer the questions as well as you can.
The central object is a galaxy. The bright yellow/orange one and the two (3 ?)red ones are foreground stars
Looks like a slightly disturbed edge on galaxy
Yup ! 😃
That is a foreground star from our galaxy
The central object is a fuzzy galaxy. The object in the lower left corner is a foreground star.

It's a faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell, sorry !
Just give it your best shot
Really cool merger !
Artifact for me. Could be a diffraction spike from a star outside of this image.
Nope, not a galaxy. this is a foreground star from a region where something definitely went wrong with the filters. Optical artifact
They are indeed foreground stars from our galaxy.
Almost all the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
I'd go for an irregular galaxy for this one.

Here is the recentered and rotated pic ! Gorgeous !
😄
Don't really think this is a ring.
I'd flag it as a possible #voorwerpje
Yup, a typical Hubble foreground star from our galaxy !
Not sure about this being a dustlane. Looks more like an artifact to me.
I don't think the central object is connected to the big one
This is not a galaxy. It is a satellite trail
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The color and the white center are just optical artifacts
Two foreground stars !
Yup, satellite trai ! 😃
Why would the colour difference rule out merger ?
I'm thinking overlap here because there is no distortion in either galaxy.
I'm thinking star too
possible #arc at 1 ?
Yup, I'm with Liz. A foreground star !
Probably an artifact ! (sorry)
This is a foreground star. The colors and the center are all optical artifacts
The dark spot in the core is just an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the core.
And again a very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Don't worry about the classification. Just give it your best shot.

LOL !
These are very probably three foreground stars.
But they look amazing! ;-D
Really nice one !
That is a satellite trail. The satellite catches the sunlight and because it mvoes so fast, it only gets caught in one filter
LOL ! So, it really is the end of the world (of decent galaxy images)
These two objects are foreground stars from a region with some serious imgaging problems
So, alert the science team !
obviously not !
Yes, we know. just send a pm to the science team.
Don't confuse the newbies
help them, please
Pls zutopian, explain this, instead of moaning about it.
So these images are from a region where something went very wrong with the filters
So these images are from a region where something went very wrong with the imgaging
Please give some clarification for newbies !

Possibly a ringed galaxy
Bottom left : foreground star . Colors and spike are just optical artifacts
Yup, the red dot is almost certainly a foreground star !
I'd go for disturbed spiral for this one.
I see two arms, one tight and one loose => disturbed ! 😃

Mmmm, not too sure. Could be a merger !
Lots of foreground stars in this pic, but the central object is definitely a galaxy !
very ! flat that is !
Looks beautiful though ! 😃
Lots of stars in this pic. Wouldn't call this a cluster of galaxies.
Good call, because the red dot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy !
Nope, just a foreground star I'm afraid ! 😉
The colors and weird center are just optical artifacts
These two are not galaxies but foreground stars. The colors and weird centers are just optical artifacts

Nice merger
The bright object (top right) is a foreground tar from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts
It's an optical artifact cased by a bright star just outside of this image
Correct. These are all foreground stars
The bright object is indeed a foreground star, but you should always classify the object in the center of the pic.
The central object is probably a star and the object to the left is most definitely a star
The purple spot is probably a star forming region in the galaxy
The blue blobs are mostly star forming regions in the galaxy.
Or it could be just two stars who appear to be close together
The bright object to the right is a foreground star. So, no lighting up going on, sorry !
The red blob is not in the distance. It is actually a foreground star from our galaxy !
And, don't worry, we were all newbies once ! 😃

Nice find anyway ! 😃
That is a satellite trail
Always classify the object in the center of the image
The blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Correct ! Always classify the object in the center of the image
Good call !
Always classify the object in the center of the image

Always classify the object in the center of the image (even if it is the most boring one ! 😉)
This is a tricky one. Not much distortion so I'd go for overlap.
This what SIMBAD says:2MASS J05462783+0005483 -- T Tau-type Star
NED doesn't have anything specific
Not too sure about a jet. Looks more like tidal debris/tail.
Sorry, no merger. The object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The little object to the right of the center of the galaxy is a foreground star
small galaxy for me 😃
The object (top left corner) is a foreground star. The colors and spikes are just optical artifacts

The central object is a galaxy, not a star. The other objects are probably foreground stars from our galaxy.
This a pic from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. Star/artifact sounds right ! 😄
The objects are all stars
The central object is an almost edge on. It's a spiral galaxy with tight arms.
The bright object is a foreground star.
could be ! 😃
It looks like a spiral galaxy seen almost edge on. The strand of stars is a spiral arm

I'm afraid these two are foreground stars. So no merger, sorry.
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Even if it is the most boring one! ;-D
Yup ! 😉
Don't worry about your classification. If lots of people give lots of different classifications it will get flagged as special anyway! 😉
Sorry to break it to you, but NED isn't all knowing ! 😉
Seriously, lots of galaxies and stars don't show up (yet) in NED
disturbed spiral would've been my choice too !
Definitely a galaxy (not a star).
And a very lovely ringed galaxy too ! 😃
Disturbed spiral or merger ? Both have their good points. But if the public opinion is divided on this one it will surely get flagged ! 😉
It is a possibility. On the other hand : not much distortion.
Without redshifts, your guess is as good as mine. 😃
This is a star. The colors are optical artifacts

Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
Not much distortion ! Not sure !
Those two objects are not galaxies but probably foreground stars from our galaxy

Merger !
Agreed, it looks really cool, but it is just a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and center are just optical artifacts
I'm thinking spiral too and maybe a bit disturbed. Not sure about any interaction.
LOL !
I'd go with disturbed spiral (but that is just me 😉)
I'd go more for a disturbed galaxy or an irregular
The blue/red/green object to the left is indeed an asteroid.
Elliptical for me
Definitely a spiral.
Nope, just stars. The colors and the darker center are just optical artifacts
I see only galaxies in this image, sorry !

Again, these stars just appear to be close together
Bo merger, the stars just appear to be close together
Not a merger. These stars just appear to be touching.
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spots and spikes are all optical artifacts
Here's the zoomed out pic !
Enjoy ! 😃

Hey! Don't feel bad about this. Your ideas are just as valuable as mine ! Remember, there are a lot of people looking at these pics! ;-D
The blue object is not a galaxy, but a foreground star from our galaxy !
Definitely not a lenticular. Two armed, possibly barred spiral with a big bulge.
oh and btw, these kind of galaxies are called ringed 😉
The blue clumps are star forming regions in this galaxy !
Nice catch!
Too much distortion. Merger for me (and a nice one too)
I'd go for irregular (definitely not a PN)
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=190.9971836&dec=32.1752707&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
The full (and rotated) pic is in the next post
Hey, fancy meeting you here ! 😄
Erm, sorry ! Definitely merger for me !
The object in the bottom left corner is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy
It could be a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. But in this case it is safe to hit the star/artifact button. 😉
The two objects in this image are foreground stars. At these distances we cannot directly see planets.

Here's the (rotated) pic ! Stunning !
correct ! This is a foreground star from our galaxy
The white object is a foreground star. The spikes and the colors are optical artifacts
Looks like it ! 😉
I don't see any lensing here,sorry
Not very likely. Almost every object in this image is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Yup, three stars. The software somehow thought (mistakingly) there was a galaxy in there
Yup, this is actually a foreground star. The colors and the center are optical artifacts
WOW ! 😃
And, again : ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the picture, even if it is the most boring or insignificant object in the pic
Th very bright object is a foreground star. The spikes and he colors are all optical artifacts. Sorry, nothing special
Just to be clear on this : always classify the object in the center of the image.
If there is nothing there just click 'star/artifact
Btw, always classify the central object even if it is the most boring one in the picture ! 😉
The very bright object is a foreground star. The spikes and colors are all optical artifacts
A very fuzzy galaxy !
Just answer the questions as well as you can.
And don't worry, lots of other people will look at these same images

It's an optical artifact caused by a foreground star just outside of this picture. In the next post you'll find a link to the rotated pic
Gorgeous spiral ! 😃
Ooh ! Really nice find ! 😃
#voorwerpje ?
It's a satellite trail.
This is a foreground star with a couple of optical artifacts
definitely bar, not sure about the ring. Maybe ringed
star/artifact !
The blue spots are star forming regions in this beautiful spiral
Sorry, no merger. The object to the right is a foreground star.
The white object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
It's a foreground star, but the colors are not real. The colors and the enter are optical artifacts
Optical artifacts
Nope !
Optical artifacts
Optical artifacts. Badly imaged foreground stars.
Optical artifacts !
That is a satellite trail
These are badly imaged stars from our galaxy. Optical artifacts
Optical artifacts. This object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one in the pic ! 😉
This object is a foreground star from a region that was badly imaged.
star/artifact
Definitely (a lot of) interaction ! 😄
LOL !
Strange colors.
Not sure about the merger, but good call to flag this one.
😃
star/artifact for me !

😄, this is from a very badly imaged area. We call it the cosmic scarf (see the very zoomed out pic in the next post)
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=112.40340745&dec=-1.86927464&scale=25.352128&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Just give it your best shot ! :-DDD
see next post 😉 (cosmic scarf !)
Probably, but now way to tell with these kind of images. And the big star doesn't count ! ;-D
satellite trail ! The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter (usually the green one)
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=139.00722253&dec=52.84063487&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Next post gives the complete (and rotated ) (and gorgeous) pic
Yup ! 😄
If it is a merger, the galaxy is disturbed !
So, both are okay ! 😉
Yup ! 😉
That is a satellite trail. The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter !
All the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Lots of bad imaging in this region of space ! 😉
Star/artifact !
Bar: yes. Elliptical : NO.
If you can see any features, it can't be an elliptical.
No way to tell from just this image. These stars appear to be close together.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.
The blueish/white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Yes, that is a foreground star from our galaxy
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy
These objects are all foreground stars from a region where something went very wrong with the filters.
This image come from a region that was very poorly imaged. And the objects are foreground stars. click star/artifact for these ones.
This is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the center are all optical artifacts
No idea, could be a little fuzzy galaxy, or a part of the central galaxy.
But definitely not an arc (meaning no gravitational lensing)
That is a satellite trail. The satellite catches the sunlight and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter.
😃
Lovely foreground star from our galaxy, with lots of optical artifacts
faint and fuzzy. Not much more to tell. Just give it your best shot ! 😃
Sorry, not a star. This is definitely a galaxy !

The DR8 image shows a very bright center. Not a star, I think 😃
Those are diffraction spikes (optical artifacts) from a foreground star in the top right corner. No explosion, just a star ! 😃
Click on 'Galaxyzoo examine', then on 'View on Skyserver'. Then click on navigate (left side) and click on get image.
The red color is an artifact.
And the object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. Not an elliptical.
Sorry, could you point these out because for the life of me I can't seem to find these clumps!
That is probably a star forming region in this irregular.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=9.18917206&dec=12.02910244&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a foreground star just outside of this image.
See the rotated image in the next post
Too big to be an #arc, but just in case 😉
The one at 11 is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
The one at 6.30 is probably an artifact
Nope, sorry. These three objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
No lensing for me !
And I think the white blob at the top is a foreground star
Looks like two galaxies to me. It could be a merger. But the galaxies are very fuzzy, so no way to tell really.
That is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
Again, lots of foreground stars here. No merger
These objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. So, no merger. Sorry !
Nope, just a foreground star.
These are all foreground stars. The colors and the center are optical artifacts
Optical artifact

what a gorgeous image. Not too sure about the four of them interacting.
Oops, my bad !
Tx capella
Possibly ! 😉
The central object is HH260.
And this is what wiki has to say about Herbig Haro objects : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro
No lensing for me.
And the red spot looks very artificial on second thoughts !
I wouldn't call this one irregular. Disturbed at the most (and maybe not even that)
Slightly disturbed spiral with some star forming regions and some dust for me !
Nice catch ! 😉
Merger for me ! 😃
Sorry, no merger. The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger possible with the central galaxy.
It looks suspiciously like an artifact to me.
The object in the top right corner is a foreground star. The spikes are called diffraction spikes (optical articfacts)
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=84.20765022&dec=19.22774575&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
The green flare is indeed an optical artifact cause by a star outside this image.
See the rotated pic in the next post.
The central (yellow) object is a galaxy. The white blob is a foreground star from our galaxy.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=67.0068684&dec=7.10660282&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
A very disturbed spiral for me. There is another disturbed galaxy nearby. Could be interaction between these two.
Looks like an artifact .
The asteroid is the green/red/blue object !
These are probably all three foreground stars
And an asteroid to the top left ! 😃
WOW ! 😃
Weird though it sounds, but if they look alike they are more likely to be involved in a merger. But don't take my word for it ! 😉
Nice merger ! (yes, all three of them)
Unless you have a spectrum of both of them, you can't really tell
Could still be a foreground star though. There are some really dim ones !
Gorgeous !
The other one is that they see this as a merger of two galaxies .
SDSS (and maybe NED) sometimes targets different parts of a galaxy as separate entities. That could be one explanation.
Great merger !
It's just a foreground star. The spikes and the colors are optical artifacts.
Sorry, no explosion ! 😄
That is a satellite trail
Possibly !
Looks great anyway. 😃
Definitely tidal !
I'd go for disturbed spiral
agree : edge on with a big bulge
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=254.65495951&dec=-8.6549837&scale=0.792254&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
this is part of a satellite trail. The green splash is where something on the satellite caught a lot of light.
Nice interaction between these two ! 😃
Most of the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy. The nice line of stars is a chance alignment
The central object is the one to classify. This is an elliptical or maybe a lenticular galaxy. Smooth/medium for me.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=316.12512352&dec=16.08442618&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Here's the rotated and zoomed in pic ! Enjoy ! 😃
Two galaxies. The central one is an elliptical (smooth/round). The blue one is very fuzzy, but maybe a bar, maybe fuzzy spiral, or irregular
What about the 'tail' top left ? 😃
Disturbed spiral for me !
LOL !
This is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. The blue thingy is an artifact. At these distances we cannot directly see planets
Merger for me 😃
Two (maybe 3) foreground stars
This a flare (optical artifact) from a star outside of this image
The white object in the top left corner is just a foreground star. The spikes and colors are optical artifacts.
It's a foreground star. Colors are optical artifacts
And again : star/artifact
These are foreground stars from a region that had some serious imaging problems.
Star/artifact
Most definitely, an artifact ! 😃
At these distances we cannot see individual stars. The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy
Just a badly imaged star.
Good call, this is a foreground star from our galaxy ! 😄
(ps, not that bright , you'll see much brighter one)
The three bright white objects are foreground stars, just a chance alignment (sorry)
What you were thinking ! (sorry)
The bright blob top left is a foreground star. So , no merger at all, sorry !
As mentioned below, the blue blobs are star forming ares in the galaxy !
There should be something in the center of this pic. Only, here there is nothing ! Let's go for star/artifact ! 😉
Optical artifacts. Nothing special, sorry !
The central object is a galaxy. The top right one is a foreground star from our galaxy
Could be !
Definitely star/artifact. This is a star from our galaxy. Looks cool though !
These blue blobs are star forming regions associated with this galaxy !
Nice catch 😄
Gorgeous dust ! 😉
Your guess is a s good as mine ! 😉
Disturbed, possibly. Definitely not an irregular.
Disturbed spiral for me
The object at two o'clock is a foreground star from our galaxy. The color and the center are optical artifacts.
A badly imaged region. Something went very wrong here. Optical artifacts !
The very bright spot to the left of the center of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy.
I'd go for a bar on this one, definitely not a polar ring for me
I'd go for merger too !
Not a comet, sorry. This is a galaxy.
Looks like a merger to me. The blob on top is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
The white blob is a foreground star from our galaxy. The blue/red/green object is an asteroid. Nice catch.
There is some distortion, so merger for me. The round yellowish blob at the bottom is a foreground star.
These are foreground stars. The colors are just artifacts.
The white object (bottom right corner) is a foreground star from our galaxy
Always classify the galaxy in the center of the image ! 😃
Not sure about the arcs.
But that is definitely an asteroid. Nice catch !
Could be an overlap with a faint edge on
Not a red star. That is the central bulge of the galaxy.
That is a star from our galaxy. This picture comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. Artifact
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts

That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside of the image. See next post for zoomed out and rotated pic
Looks like a (Hiubble) star to me
Hi Alexandre,
As I said in the Forum, I think this is actually a faint Hubble star.
First of : Always classify the object in the center of the pic.
As for the top right corner. Could be a merger, could be a foreground star
Works for me !
This is a satellite trail. The sunlight gets reflected of the satellite and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter !
The little points are actually star forming regions in this galaxy !
Nice catch ! 😃
Gorgeous !
And how did you classify this ? 😉
The central object looks like two foreground stars. The "shadow to the left is most likely a galaxy.
Good catch ! Definitely in the list of possible lenses (for me!)
Lots of galaxies in this pic.
You could go for smooth-in between, or a big bulge, no other features, or an edge on with a big bulge. The thing is : just give it your best
nice merger
disturbed one-armed spiral ?
Don't think this is a lens. Could be a compagnion galaxy
This is a satellite trail. The sunlight gets reflected of the satellite and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter
Those are diffraction spikes. They are artifacts caused by light diffracting around the support vanes of the secondary mirror.

top left corner : edge on galaxy with a lovely dustlane.
Rotated pic in the next post
That is an edge on galaxy. The other objects are foreground stars
😄
No, I don't think so. It's just if you click on View Skyserver there is no mention of QSO. I was just curious. Btw, * means star
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the dots are all optical artifacts.
That is a satellite trail
Looks like an artifact to me
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, center and spikes are all optical artifacts
Every object in this picture is a foreground star from our galaxy. Sometimes the software mistakenly labels a star as a galaxy.
Question : Where does it say in SDSS that this is a QSO ?
I'm thinking a star forming region.
The second core could be a foreground star from our galaxy
I can see a bar and something spirally
Nope. It's an irregular galaxy and the blue clumps are star forming regions in this galaxy
Almost every object in this picture is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The yelow one in the center is an elliptical galaxy
Always classify the object in the center of the image. The yellow blob is probably a foreground star
Most of the objects here are stars from our galaxy. This pic comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging
The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy.
Sorry, but this is just an optical artifact. These images are all foreground stars from a region where something went badly wrong.
Very intriguing !

Just another foreground star from a badly imaged region. (it's called the Cosmic Scarf!)
Another faint and fuzzy galaxy !
The central object is definitely a galaxy. Not so sure about the other objects in this pic. Possibly foreground stars.
Sorry, these are just optical artifacts. This is a foreground star from our galaxy.
These images come from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. These beasties are foreground stars.Nothing special, sorry
No, seriously. Almost all of these are star/artifact.
Well, maybe one in 100 (and even that) could be. But star/artifact is the only thing to get rid of these as fast as possible !
Gorgeous pic !
😄
Awwww !
It's a possibility !
That about sums it up ! 😉
Keep knitting ! 😉
i know I sound like a broken record, but optical artifact comes to mind ! 😉
a #Hubbleheart. (if you sguint)
Keep this in mind for Valentine !
(giggle) !
Okay, consider it done !
Hey, Hubble, you just got the sack ! 😉

Nope, sorry. This comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. It's called the Cosmic Scarf. See next post
Great Hubble G ! 😉
Nope, sorry ! These are all foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors and everything are just optical artifacts.
Again LOL ! My housemates must think I'm mental ! 😃
Congrats and keep up the good work ! 😃
Yup, all stars !
Again from the Cosmic Scarf !
Careful with the foreground stars !
faint #arc at one ?
I'm thinking a very faint and fuzzy galaxy with loads of background noise
LOL ! 😄
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=358.96858132&dec=53.68283119&scale=25.352128&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
This is from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. It's been called the cosmic scarf. See the very zoomed out pic. 😄
If you draw this one on a paper (I know, very scientific !), the center looks just about in the middle.
That is not possible, since the white object to the right is a foreground star.
Since these are foreground stars from our galaxy I can't see what would do the lensing. No lens, sorry.
Looks like an optical artifact associated with the star to the top (see the rotated and zoomed out pic)
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=74.17827907&dec=1.04263314&scale=0.792254&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
or a disturbed spiral ?
probably an artifact (sorry)
I'd go for disturbed spiral
Sometimes the software mistakes a star for a galaxy. Looks like this happened here.
yup ! 😃
Great merger ! 😃
The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Fuzzy ! 😃
I'd go for features,no edge on,no bar, no spiral,big bulge,disturbed. But Smooth,disturbed is just as valid.
They are foreground stars. So it they were lensed , by what ? It can't be the galaxy, because that is so much further in the background.
That is not a jet but a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a foreground star outside of this image
The bright object is a foreground star. Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one 😃
A very big bulge ! And, since it is a Hubble pic , who knows ! 😉
I see one galaxy and two foreground stars !
Nice configuration ! 😉
Too big to be jets. Probably faint fuzzy galaxies.
Just go with whatever you feel is right !
That is what makes the Zoo so interesting !
There is not much distortion, so I'm not too sure about a merger.The top right object could be a foreground galaxy or even a foreground star
(groan) ! 😄
A Zooite walks into a bar ..... 😉
There is some very heavy traffic on this highway ! 😉
I'm thinking this is a Hubble star. A pea is a galaxy with a very distinctive spectrum. Don't think we've got one here.
or both ?
Triple merger ! 😃
I don't think this is a star. As for NED, it looks like this is a very interesting neighborhood. A pity it's outside of SDSS 😦
Yup, star !
I'm leaning towards merger 😃
Star for me too ! 😃
This is a foreground star from our galaxy from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. Colors are optical artifacts.
Upper left is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes and colors are optical artifacts. No supernova, sorry ! 😉
The object to the lower left is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The bright object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy.
That is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Looks like an irregular to me
This is just one star.The colors are just optical artifacts.This pic comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging.
Nope, just a star 😃
That is a satellite trail
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
I wouldn't call this one irregular. Disturbed maybe.
Two faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much ore to tell, really.
too big for jets. Probably a background/foreground galaxy
Bottom left hand corner : looks like an elliptical galaxy to me. So, smooth and round for me.
Gorgeous merger. Not sure about a ring !
Merger and dustlane for me.
Gorgeous pic !
I'd go for merger of two ellipticals
That is a satellite trail. As the sunlight reflects of the satellite, and because it moves so fast it only gets caught in one filter.
great merger !
Don't think so. Looks more like an irregular galaxy to me.
This galaxy is not massive enough to do any lensing.
Nice catch, btw ! 😃
This comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging. Looks cool though ! 😃 Btw, you're right Star !
This is a galaxy with star forming regions (blue clumps). I'd go for irregular, but that is just me ! 😉
or a possible #overlap ?
I'd go for irregular with star forming region. But an edge on, no bulge is also a possibility.Just answer the questions ! 😃
Click on GalaxyZoo examine and then on View on Skyserver. Click on navigate (left side of the page)and click on Get Image. Et voila !

The faint streak is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star outside of the image. See next post (image rotated and zoomed out)
Three stars !
Btw, it is not possible for a star and a galaxy to merge. The stars we see are all foreground stars from our galaxy
The bright blue blobs are starforming regions in this irregular gaalxy.
Btw, ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image.
The object in the top left corner is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes and colors are all optical artifacts.
not a merger and not a ring for me.
Strange #arc though ! #polarring or arc ?
The bright Pink/red object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
This is definitely a merger of two galaxies.
Nice catch
The central object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The object in the left bottom corner is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
The red object is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
Not a dust cloud : another galaxy.
Definitely a spiral
I can see some spiral features.
Foreground star (sorry 😉 )
probably foreground star
The central objects are stars from our galaxy. No merger, sorry !
I don't think it's an asteroid. Looks more like an artifact.
Always classify the object in the center of the image. (Even if it is the most boring in the pic ! 😉 )
Just a question: how can you see a ring in this one ?
These are stars from our galaxy. The colors and weird effects are all optical artifacts
Not an artifact ! The central object is a galaxy (weird one) and the white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Yes, it appears NED is down ! 😦
The white object with the blue center is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors are just optical artifacts
That could be a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a star outside of this image
very faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much more to tell.
The object you are asked to classify is the little blob beneath the bright yellow foreground star from our galaxy.
Sometimes the software mistakenly tags something as a galaxy. Here you see an optical artifact caused by a star outside of this image.
Looks like it ! 😃
Yes, this is an optical artifact caused by a bright star just outside this picture
LOL
Again, just an optical artifact, I'm afraid ! 😃

This is a screen shot from the link you gave
Wow, gorgeous !
Click on Galaxy Zoo examine and then you have a rectangle with 'Examine raw FITS data' Just click on that.
I think these data are for the central galaxy. How do you separate this to get the data for the little dot ?
A faint and fuzzy galaxy. Just give it your best shot ! 😃
It is indeed a star. The colors and the center are just optical artifacts
That is just an optical artifact due to the very bright center
The central galaxy is an edge on and these galaxies (spirals/lenticulars) are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
I'm not quite following. How does it show up in the UV?
Every object in this image is a star from our galaxy
I'm thinking optical artifact again. It just looks too fabricated ! 😃
Great merger ! 😃
Possibly !
smooth - round - merger, is a possibility 😃
Don't really know what you mean. You can't get to the extra info unless you have classified an image.
Definitely two stars ! 😃
Gorgeous ! 😃
This is definitely a galaxy. The center just looks like a galaxy center ! 😃
Nice ! 😃
This just comes from looking at a lot of pictures. Besides, you can only get to that extra info after you have classified the image.
Looks like it !
This is probably a spiral galaxy with two arms, but is is very fuzzy.
So, just give it your best shot ! 😃
Nice one ! 😉 Looks a bit like a disturbed spiral. Possibly a merger. possible #voorwerpje. Just give it your best shot ! 😃
A fuzzy galaxy. Looks a bit like a spiral, definitely disturbed. Or you could go for irregular. It's your call ! 😃
The 2 bright objects are foreground stars. While technically you can call this an overlap, it is used to mean a galaxy/galaxy overlap
Almost all of the objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
these are all stars from our galaxy.
In this case it doesn't matter that much. Almost all of the objects here are stars from our galaxy. Star/artifact.
Yes, star/artifact is correct. Most of the objects here are stars from our galaxy.
Most of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. So star/artifact.
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Not easy in this case. Most objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
The yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
That would be my call too !
In the center of this image we have two galaxies, probably merging
This is a star from our galaxy, not a galaxy, sorry.
Yup ! 😃
This is an optical artifact caused by the glare of a bright star outside of his image.
More of a disturbed spiral !
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell, sorry ! 😉
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=98.53438115&dec=65.3186487&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
That is an optical artifact caused by the glare of a bright star outside of this picture.
Two very faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much more to tell.
The central galaxies are already merging
Good call ! 😃
With these kind of distortions, definitely merger
Could be a background galaxy
possible #arc at 11
#arc at 10-12 ?
This is a satellite trail
That would be my guess too !
That red dot is a foreground star from our galaxy
Always classify the object in the center of the image. The blue beam is a satellite trail
Don't think this is a merger. The white object to the left is probably a foreground star
Merger of three is a possibility.
The white core to the left could also be a foreground star. In that case, merger o two ! 😉
Merger ! 😃
Foreground star ! 😃
Gorgeous merger
I'm thinking foreground star.
There is no reason why two different colored galaxies can't merge.
Tho faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much to tell.
This is a star from our galaxy. This pic comes from a region that was very poorly imaged. Optical artifacts
Most of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Star for me too, no lensing
This is a satellite trail (definitely not a galaxy)
Definitely a galaxy ! This is IC2520. According to SIMBAD : interacting galaxies
Or possible some interaction. The central galaxy is very distorted.
gorgeous irregular !
LOL
This is an edge on. Could be a spiral, could be a lenticular
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
Not much distortion, but is is still a possibility
If you see a bulge then you should indicate it.
If you feel it doesn't have one, answer no bulge. It is up to you
possible #voorwerpje ?
I'm thinking star ! (sorry)
Probably foreground star (strategically placed) 😉
To determine if it could be a supernova you'd need a couple more observations anyway.
Avery faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much to tell really.
Just give it your best shot.
I'm thinking star too. No diffraction spikes, but these only occur with the brighter stars.
great irregular with star forming regions (the blue blobs)
I'd go for overlap.
The 'circle' is just a coincidence 😉
Try zooming out ! Amazing !
These two objects are not stars but galaxies. Merger for me.
It could go either way ! I'm leaning toward overlap too !
With this kind of distortion, I'd go for merger too !
Just two stars I'm afraid
These two objects are two stars from our galaxy.
Not galaxies and no merger, sorry !
Optical artifacts. These are stars from our galaxy from a very poorly imaged region. 😃
Could be ! 😃
Great merger ! 😃
LOL !
Nice one !
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to tell, sorry ! 😃
That is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
I see two very fuzzy galaxies. Not much more to tell.
Not an elliptical. Edge on for me

Yes, this is an optical artifact caused by a star just outside of this image.
Not a cloud but a galaxy 😃
This is a star from our galaxy. Something went seriously wrong with the imaging. Looks cool though ! 😃
possible #arc
This is not a galaxy but a star from our galaxy. The colors and center are all optical artifacts.
These are two stars from our galaxy. This image comes from a region where something definitely went wrong with the imaging. Optical artifact
This is definitely not a galaxy ! 😉 This picture comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging
Or two stars that just appear to be close together
The orange one is a foreground star from our galaxy. The other one is a galaxy.
The orange object is a foreground star. No lensing here for me.
The blue blob is indeed very mikely to be a star forming region caused by the interaction
These red and blue dots are most likely foreground stars from our galaxy
Lots of the objects in this picture are foreground stars from our galaxy !
The vertical beam is probably a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside of this picture
Always classify the central object.
Not an easy choice in this case ! 😉
possible #voorwerpje ?
Not too sure about a merger. More of a disturbed spiral for me.
definitely no lensing ! Great dustlane !
definitely no lensing ! Gre
Gorgeous disturbed spiral ! Nice catch ! 😉
You could make it a discussion! But I know what you mean. Talk sucks.
Still thinking overlap, because there is no discernible distortion
very loose arms that go all the way around. Seriously distorted.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=148.41978826&dec=1.57996563&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query= 😄
This time you lost me. Where is it ?
Wow, you have keen eyes ! 😃
Two foreground stars.
I don't relly know what you mean by that ?
It looks like a very good #lens candidate !
little arcs at 3 and 4 and at 8 and 9
WOW
The blue blobs are star forming regions in this galaxy
Sorry, not a supernova. It's just a foreground star from our galaxy.
That is an asteroid. Nice catch ! 😃
I don't think it is an arc, the angle is not right. Looks like an edge on to me
These objects are not galaxies but foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors are optical artifacts. No merger, sorry !
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image. 😃
This is a star, not a galaxy ! sorry 😃
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
No merger for me
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=320.93867708&dec=-8.18834704&scale=0.09903175&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside of this picture. Zoomed out and rotated pic in the next post
It's a misalignement of the filters. The star to the right also has a green echo. So no merger here. Just an optical artifact.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=146.57410693&dec=-1.06083886&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=

This is an image from the cosmic scarf. Something went very wrong with the imaging.
See next post for the zoomed out pic.
#ring
Most of the objects in this picture are foreground stars from our galaxy
These two objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. The color is just an optical artifact
disturbed spiral, irregular ? It's your call ! 😃
There are some spiral features, but I'd go for irregular on this one.
What trails ????
One galaxy and one foreground star. Not much of a reflection, sorry
gorgeous edge on with a very big bulge !
????? What do you mean ?
Slightly disturbed spiral (possible bar and a rather big bulge) for me. Don't really know what you mean with the ladder thing ????
The central object is a galaxy. the other one is a foreground star from our galaxy !
Oh yes !
This comes from a region where something went very wrong with the imaging.
Surprise: the green color is an optical artifact 😃
Let's hope so ! After a couple of hundred of funky colors, the novelty wears off ! 😉
Not galaxies.These are all foreground stars from our galaxy.Something went wrong with the imaging here. The colors are all optical artifacts
And here's the link for a thread over on the forum about rectangular galaxies

We've had a couple of them in the SDSS images. This is the first Hubble one (I think). Nice catch
#squaregalaxy
It could be two different galaxies. With these Hubble images it's hard to tell.
Don't know ! They do come in waves !
The object in the left bottom corner is indeed a star ! Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.
This is a star from our galaxy from a region where something went seriously wrong with the imaging. The colors are just optical artifacts
possible #polarring
#ring
I'd go for an irregular with lots of starforming clumps
definitely disturbed ! 😃
That's an optical artifact
The two red objects and the whiteish green one are actually foreground stars from our galaxy.
This is definitely a galaxy (not a nebula).
This is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spikes and the colors are all optical artifacts
possible #arc ? And another possible one in the top right corner ?
no way to tell without a spectrum, sorry
The red dot is most probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
#voorwerpje ?
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and the spikes are optical artifacts
I'd go for a no bulge, edge on for this one
Great merger ! 😃
It's a very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
The object to the right is indeed a star.
Btw, always classify the object inn the center of the image.
These three objects are definitely galaxies (NOT stars ! )
Those are faint and fuzzy galaxies
Yup, foreground star for me !
Not a nebula but a galaxy.
#arc ?
Probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
😄
the blue thingies look like cosmic rays that haven't been filtered out
correct ! 😃
faint and fuzzy galaxy, possible an elliptical. The green little blobs are background noise
Not a jet. This is another galaxy
looks like a Hubble star to me. The colored rings are optical artifacts
Yes, no problem !
Nice merger 😃
The central object is a galaxy. The two red blobs are foreground stars from our galaxy
The blue clumps are star forming regions in this galaxy
This is a star from our galaxy. the colors and the center are all optical artifacts
Nice merger of two ellipticals
This is a Hubbel star ! The spikes are agiveway ! 😃
Really great merger ! 😃
It could be a lenticular too ! ?
Sorry ! Always classify the central object in the image! Better luck next time ! 😃
Not much distortion. Still a possibility ! 😉
Gorgeous edge on with a dust lane !
Not really, i'd go for a two armed, barred spiral.
Disturbed spiral for me
Wow ! Great merger !
I see a spiral with a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger, sorry.
This could be a Hubble star
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts
The red star is a foreground star from our galaxy and only appears close to the central galaxy.
That is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
Something went wrong with the imaging. Probably a misalignement of the filters. The top object itself is a foreground star from our galaxy
Most of the objects are stars, so no lensing there.
Cool chance alignement 😃
Here you have two galaxies (possibly) merging. The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Just beautifull
wow !
Wonderful merger ! possible #voorwerpje ?
Gorgeous merger
I'd think the ripped of bits would get sucked back in by the bigger galaxies.
Maybe there would be one that would get stranded in space !
The spiral is disturbed, so I'm going for a star forming area in the galaxy.
Gorgeous !
disturbed spiral ?
Some of the blobs are galaxies, but some of them are foreground stars. I'm not sure there is a mechanism where a big galaxy can have babies?
It's a possibility, but I'm not too sure about this being a lens. But, when in doubt, just flag it. 😉
You've got quite a zoo 😉
Gorgeous dust lane in this slightly disturbed edge on ! 😃
The dot is just an optical artifact caused by the bright center. Maybe in a previous version of SDSS, it wasn't this bright.
#voorwerpje ?
It put this through Google translate and it means : teddybear ! 😃
A lenticular is a disk without any features. If you see one face on, it looks like an elliptical. Looked on sideways, it's an edge on
In this case, I'd go for merger.
I'm not seeing any dust, sorry
If you call it an elliptical, it cannot be a disk. A disk without any features is called a lenticular.
I see a very tight spiral here
What wtaskew says : the two white objects are foreground from our galaxy. No supervovae, sorry !
Two star and maybe a little red star to the left ! 😉
Correct, this is a star. Something went wrong with the imaging. The colors are just optical artifacts
The red spot in the center of the galaxy is an optical artifact. The red spot to the left of the center is probably a foreground star.
ringed is okay. Lovely two armed barred spiral too 😃
Could be a cosmic ray that did not get removed in the imaging
A foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts.
Great merger !
With these kind of distortions, merger is a safe bet ! 😉
Gorgeous pic
There is no way you can tell from this image that this is a ring. It is a disk seen edge on. (spiral, lenticular or possibly a ring)
No distortion, so no merger for me. But it's still a possibility ! 😉
That is a satellite trail.
I'd go for irregular with a starforming region, but that is just me ! 😉 edge on with a starforming clump is another possibility.
The lack of distortion makes me think overlap too. Color is not really a determining factor. To be really sure, you'll need the redshifts
Nope, that is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts
Too fuzzy to tell for me
Would you care to elaborate ? 😃
great dustlane !
or overlap ?
The blue blobs are optical artifacts, or cosmic rays that haven't been cleaned up
Pas un quasar. ça pourrait être une étoile, mais je crois plutôt que c'est une galaxie.
Not a qso. It could be a star, but galaxy for me
Ce ne sont pas des nuages mais une partie d'une autre galaxie !
Those are not clouds but part of another galaxy
Always classify the object in the center of the image !
That could be another galaxy.
You could go for a disturbed one armed spiral with a big bulge. Just give it your best shot ! 😃
Could be a foreground star, could be a galaxy !
This is a spiral galaxy and they are usually not massive enough to do any lensing. Sorry, no arc for me.
This is for sk001 : gravitational lensing : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens
No lens for me either. The "arc" is much too thick to be a lens (I think)
an edge on with a big bulge and a dust lane for me.
Overlap for me. The galaxy at the top is much too thick to be a lens. But when in doubt, flag it ! 😉
Mmm, don't think so. Polar ring : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar-ring_galaxy
disturbed spiral ?
Spiral !
That is a satellite trail !
The straight line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) caused by a star outside of this picture. Looks cool though ! 😉
This is a satellite trail
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and (diffraction) spikes are optical artifacts
That is an optical artifact caused by a star just outside of this image
The "explosion" is actually a star from our galaxy. The colors, rings and spikes are all optical artifacts.
Just optical artifacts. Misalignement of filters ?
Stars ! The colors and the weird center are all optical artifacts
The are satellite trails. The sunlight reflects off the satellite and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter.
LOL
First of : always classify the object in the center of the image. Here it appears to be the little white blob and that is a foreground star
No merger. Most of the objects here are stars from our galaxy
Beautiful irregular.
The green thing is an optical artifact caused by a star just outside this image.
looks like two ellipticals merging
The three central objects are all stars from our galaxy. Nice line up, no lensing, sorry ! 😉
A very lovely ring galaxy with a lot of foregrounds stars from our galaxy
That bright dot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy.
No halo. It's a ring made of lots and lots of stars
This is a satellite trail. Sunlight gets reflected off the satellite and because they move so fast they only get picked up in one filter
No halo. This is a disk like galaxy with a big bulge and a bar.
Yes, definitely a galaxy (disturbed two armed spiral) The blue blobs are starforming regions in the galaxy.
These objects are all stars from our galaxy, sorry.
as wtaskew said, the galaxy is not massive enough to do any lensing. And most of the objects are stars from our galaxy. So defintely no lens
This is a fuzzy (spiral) galaxy, not a could of gas ! 😉
That is probably a foreground star from our galaxy
It's the same galaxy, only rotated. Beautiful irregular !
Yes, it's a spiral galaxy.
This isn't a galaxy. It's a star from our galaxy and the colors are optical artifacts.
The dark spot in the center is just an optical artifact
I'd go for irregular with nice star forming regions
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors are optical artifacts ! 😃
It is just a star. The spikes and colors are just optical artifacts, sorry !
No it is not ! This is an elliptical galaxy.
😃 I see a slightly disturbed spiral with a foreground star just right of the center of the galaxy. But it does look like a triangle. 😃
The bright white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Not galaies but stars from our galaxy. And they are not merging, they just appear close together
Not an artifact. It's a faint and fuzzy galaxy ! 😃
The yellow object is a foreground star from our galaxy, so no interaction possible between it and the galaxy.
I don't see any lensing here, but when in doubt, flag it. You never know ! 😃
Oh yes ! 😃 You could go for a seriously disturbed spiral or an irregular
I'd go for a one armed disturbed spiral. No dustlane, sorry
That is a bright foreground star from our galaxy.
Almost all the objects in this image are stars from our own galaxy. So definitely no lensing whatsoever, sorry
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy! Not much more to tell !
No dust lane, no double core. Just a merger ! 😃
Hiya,
Looks like an edge on with a nice bulge. Not much distortion for me.
Not sure. It's probably a galaxy, but associated with the central galaxy ????
Your guess is as good as mine ! 😃
Hiya ! 😃
Don't really see it. The bottom side looks a bit disturbed
Remember, it's your call.
And if lots of people give different classifications it gets flagged anyhow as something possibly interesting
Well, you start by just answering the question.
And you can come up with an irregular or a (barred) and very disturbedspiral.
I'd go for barred too, but what a gorgeous merger ! WOW
Why ?
Looks like two merging galaxies. No need for an exotic QSO overlapping merger thingy. The merger is exotic enough 😃
Yes, this is caused by a bright star just outside of this image !
That is a satellite trail. Sunlight gets reflected off the satellite and because it moves so fast it gets caught in only one filter.
Looks like a disturbed disk/spiral and these galaxies are usually not massive enough to do any lensing. But you can always flag it ! 😃
The red halo is indeed an optical artifact caused by the bright star.
The bright spot to the left of the center is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. The 'black' spot is an optical artifact
That is a satellite trail
That is a satellite trail
Short answer = no ! 😃 The two stars are foreground stars from our galaxy, so there is no connection whatsoever possible with the galaxy.
The bright spot to the right of the core of the galaxy appears to be a foreground star from or galaxy
Don't think it's a star. Looks like a faint and fuzzy galaxy to me (notice the very scientific description ! 😃 )
The merger is still in progress. You can still see that these were two different galaxies

Zoomed in and rotated pic in the next post
That is a satellite trail
The blue blobs are star forming regions.
Nice irregular galaxy
Sorry, not a galaxy. It's a star and the colors are optical artifacts.
But it looks cool ! 😃
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy and lots of background noise. Not much more to tell, really
You can only post pics directly in the discussions. 😦
Gorgeous pic of two irregulars and definitely a merger !
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are optical artifacts

It's NGC 4258
Sorry, artifact ! Overexposure caused by the very bright core
Could be. No way to tell from just this picture.
The central object is a galaxy, but almost all the other objects(red & white dots) in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Looks like it !
Sometimes the software tags regions in a galaxy as separate galaxies. That way you can have different ID's for the same galaxy.
Yup ! 😃
LOL
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. There is no interaction possible between a Milky Way star and the central galaxy.
The central object is a galaxy. The white one is a foreground star from our galaxy. No interaction possible, sorry.
That is a star forming region in the galaxy.
Honestly ! 😃
Tx beasties ! 😉
The galaxy in the upper right corner looks seriously disturbed. Is this caused by the galaxy in the center of the image? I don't know, sorry
A one-armed spiral, or a disturbed galaxy. Take your pick. Just answer the questions as well as you can. Happy hunting !
The colors and the spikes are all optical artifacts.
Btw, always classify what you see in the center of the image !
Happy Hunting
Just to add to the confusion, I'd call this one a disturbed spiral ! 😉
But hey, that is the beauty of GZ.
I don't see a lot of distortion, so no merger for me. But hey, that is just me ! 😃
I'm seeing a disk: not an edge on, no bar, no spiral, no bulge, no merger
Looks like it.
The object at the top is a star. The colors, rings and spikes are all optical artifacts
Don't think it's a dustlane. I'm leaning more towards an overlap
I don't think it's possible to see jets in these Hubble pics, sorry.
You could call this a ring, because the arms loop back, or you could go for a big bulge, two-armed spiral. It's your call ! 😃
That is an optical effect.
This is a Hubble star with some nice colorfull optical artifacts
I'd say satellite trail, but it's a bit wobbly. Could be a fast moving asteroid
faint an dfuzzy galaxy and lots of background noise
Almost all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy
I'd go for overlap
LOL 😃
This is probably a star. SDSS gets it wrong sometimes ! 😉
Correct ! 😃
This is a star and the colors are optical artifacts
A star ! the colors are all optical artifacts
The blue thing is indeed a star. the color is an artifact
This is a star and the colors and the black curve are all optical artifacts.
Not much distortion, so I'd go for overlap. But it could just as well be a merger
the greenish object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Yes, probably merging
That appears to be a faint and fuzzy galaxy. I'd go for irregular
two ellipticals merging ! 😃
Nope, just a star, sorry ! 😉
The central object is a galaxy, but almost all the others are foreground stars
Those are probably foreground stars from our galaxy
That would be my classification too : features/ not an edge on/ no bar/ no spiral/no bulge/ something odd : irregular
The green and blue lines are satellite trails
looks like it
You'll see quite a few more !
The blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Spiral for me too. I'd throw in disturbed too. ;-D
great merger !
That is an optical artifact.
#overlap
Wow, spectacular merger. Don't know if the bright spots are foreground stars or actually part of the galaxies.
That spot is an optical artifact, caused by the brightness of the core
:-DD
3 in a row ???? I just see a slightly disturbed edge on with a noticable bulge. Nothing special
no dust lane for me, sorry !
A possible #polarring for me ! ,-D
The SDSS pictures can be amazing too. And you can get to zoom in and out and explore all you want.
Wow ! gorgeous ! 😄
very subtle !
Great catch !
The green line is a satellite trail !
A bright nucleus. Not sure why this would be an AG !
So sorry, but the top object is a foreground star from our galaxy. Not a merger !
There are some amazing pictures in that thread !
Good call ! This could be an edge on without a bulge or maybe a cigar shaped elliptical ! Just give it your best shot !
Don't really know; Not much distortion. Could easily be an overlap. But merger is still a possibility
http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=275014.0
Warning : this is a thread of 100+ pages ! 😄
There is only 1 voowerp. But there is a hunt on for voorwerpjes.
I'll post the link here (when I find it)
I'm thinking yes ! (but that is just me !)
I got involved with the first GZ right from the start and I've seen thousands and thousands of pics. You do pick up something along the way!
Nope. Apparently, the same people who are moderators over on GZ forum are moderators here too (Alice, Hanny, Infinity and Fluffyporcupine)
Okay ... I've done some Planet Hunters, but I've never used Talk on that one. If you have a question, it's best to ask the people there !
😄
LOL
You've set the bar very high !
Succes ! (van iemand uit België) :-DD
Definitely not, sorry ! Where are the bright colors from the OIII ? ;-D
I see a loose armed spiral with lot's of background noise and two other very small and fuzzy galaxies in the pic who could be associated
Not much distortion. I'd go for overlap
Just do your best and if it is too blurry there is always star/artifact
You could go for a barred, very disturbed spiral or alternatively for a gorgeous irregular. Just answer the questions. Happy Hunting !
WOW ! I'd be inclined to say an overlap kind of galaxy. But it looks really lensy too. When in doubt, always flag it ! Nice catch ! 😄
I'd even go as far as to call this a #merger. And a possible #voorwerpje !
It's a satellite trail
That is a foreground star from our galaxy with some optical artifacts.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
Definitely a star. I first thought maybe an asteroid, but all the stars in this image have the same optical artifacts.
#arc ?
The elliptical looks also a bit distorted. So it looks like these two are interacting. They have simliar redshifts too.
Without a spectrum you can't be sure but best to flag it as possible #voorwerpje.
Nice catch ! 😄
If you mean the bright orange object, that is a foreground star from our galaxy
These two objects are foreground stars from our galaxy
The greenish bright object is a star from our galaxy. The blue blob is an optical effect
The bluish object is a foreground star from our galaxy. No merger, sorry
possible #voorwerpje ?
The red and the blue object at the bottom are foreground stars from our galaxy. No merger.
Btw, always classify the object in the center
The central object is a galaxy. The top and bottom ones are foreground stars from our galaxy.
the green blobs are probably optical artifacts. The central object is a star.
No globular clusters ! The left object could be a star forming region, the right one is probably a foreground star
This is actually a star from our galaxy. The blob upper right is probably an optical artifact
I don't think it is possible to see jets in these images. It's probably another fuzzy galaxy
I don't think it is possible to see jets in these images
irregular for me
The blue object is a foreground star
Not a merger. This looks like two stars to me
star forming region in irregular for me
#arc from 3 to 5 ?
far too fuzzy to tell
It's a satellite trail
😄
star from our galaxy
Looks like two galaxies to me
Yes, good catch ! 😄
The central object is a fuzzy spiral. The two bright objects are foreground stars
This is a satellite trail
Satellite trail ! 😄
That is a foreground star from our galaxy
The only individual stars we can see in these images are stars from our galaxy. Don't really know what you are referring to ?
Definitely two,maybe four
It's a possibility. But an overlap is equally possible. Just give it your best shot
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=157.87432535&dec=24.86008765&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
In the next post you'll find the complete and rotated galaxy ! ;-D
I'd go for irregular !
I'm not either. Just give it your best shot and remember lots of people will see this pic. So it won't get lost ! ;-D
No distortion whatsoever, so not too sure about a merger. Just answer the questions and every answer counts
Too fuzzy to tell, sorry!
Lovely galaxy. No dust for me though
The central object is a galaxy and the white blob is a foreground star, so no merging there! Not much distortion anyway !
Don't overthink it. For me a tight armed spiral, nothing special. (But that is just me)
Wow, great merger and possible #voorwerpje
Beautiful !
The stars appear to be close together, but from this image we can not say that they are actually close together, sorry !
Not much distortion. Doubtful !
Yup ! ;-D - Correct classification !
Tx sambuca
And no way we can see a planet directly at these distances ! sorry !
Almost all the objects in this pic are stars. the little dot in the top left corner star is an optical artifact.
Just a little bit ! ;-D
Definitely a possibility ! ;-D
Yup ! ;-D
Almost all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. No galaxies, sorry!
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. The bright blue center is an optical artifact.
Happy Hunting !
love the interaction ! 😄
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=70.47175015&dec=1.07771789&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Correct ! 😄
I wouldn't call this boxy, but if you think it is, classify it as boxy. That is what GZ is all about.
LOL
It's another galaxy. Probably an overlap.
Definitely a merger ! Nice catch
These two objects are indeed stars from our galaxy.
Always, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if there more interesting things to see.
Misalignement of the filters. If you look around in this neighborhood, the other galaxies and stars suffer from the same affliction ! ;-D
The object at the top of the galaxy is probably a foreground star
Could be.
Barred spiral gets my vote ! ;-D
No it is not. It's the same galaxy in two different filters and the filters didn't line up properly. No merger, sorry.
No idea. It's a Hubble pic and it's very faint and fuzzy. My guess is it's very far away ! ;-D
Do you mean the bright yellow object with the pink core to the left of this image? That is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Almost all of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Almost all of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy.
Almost all of the objects in this image are stars. The funny colors and centers are optical artifacts.
Glad to be of help !
Happy Hunting ! 😄
This is a Hubble star (from our galaxy) The funny colors, rings and the blue blob are optical artifacts.
It could be a spiral, but I can't see anything in this one. The orangey blob is a foreground star from our galaxy.
It's an optical artifact caused by the glare of a foreground star from our galaxy just outside this image
The central object is a galaxy. All the other objects in this image are foreground stars from our galaxy.
I'm thinking faint and fuzzy galaxy
Lots of background noise and probably a very faint and fuzzy galaxy
The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The other two are galaxies.
Don't know what you are seeing, but this is a galaxy with lots and lots of stars. No way we can see a planet at these distances, sorry
1 galaxy and 3 foreground stars from our galay
'First of ; always classify what's in the center of the image. And I think you've got a merger here. The white blob is a foreground star.
Four stars in a row ! 😄
Almost all of the object in this image are stars from our galaxy (not galaxies and definitely not planets)
Very nice dustlane
LOL
The white object near the center of the galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy
That's because it is a star from our galaxy ! 😄
This is a satellite trail
This i a star. The color and the center are just optical artifacts. Something went wrong with the filters
smooth and round elliptical (ie not a disk)
No jets.
I'm thinking possible #polarring
Don't know what the thingy at the bottom is (artifact ?). But the green/blue one is an asteroid.
The central object is a galaxy not a star. The yellow one on the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. No interaction possible
yup ! ;-D
Almost all of the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy. The color is just an optical artifact
disturbed spiral, possible merger
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy. Interaction between the star and the galaxy is just not possible. They are very far apart.
That is a satellite trail
Almost all of the objects here are stars. The stars in the center appear to be close together but that could be line of sight too.
The central object is a galaxy. The white and red objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. you cannot see planets in these images
very faint spiral. Possible three armed spiral.
Nice bulge !
definitely a merger
The bright blue splotches are probably star forming areas in the galaxy.
😄
The bright white blob is just a foreground star. As for the galaxy, I'd go for seriously disturbed.
Good call. I'd thrown in disturbed. But hey that is just me ! 😉
Probably a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much more to say about it.
Definitely not a star.
The central object is a very faint and very fuzzy galaxy. Not much else to say about it.
If every object in the image displays this effect, I'm thinking misaligned filters
I'm just seeing one galaxy, so no merger. But definitely disturbed
why a merger behind the galaxy ?
For me this is a very disturbed spiral
The blue 'blobs' are all star forming regions in this galaxy
This is an edge on galaxy. No ring whatsoever
Gorgeous merger
Almost every object in this image is a star.
Happy Hunting
The yellow blob to the left is probably a background galaxy. Not connected with the central irregular.
Too fuzzy to tell
merger for me. (but I could be wrong, you know ! )
There seems to be some interaction/disturbance, so merger is a good call for me.
really disturbed spiral
What are you seeing here ?
I'm seeing an irregular galaxy with some star forming regions (the blue clumps)
and welcome to the Zoo !
That is just an optical artifact !
That is a star forming region in the galaxy
It's an optical artifact caused by the glare of a star outside of this image
If this was an SDSS pic, I'd say the blue line was a satellite trail. The central object is an edge on with a bulge for me
I'm thinking interaction
This is a (disturbed) spiral and they are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from the star bottom left corner.
Btw, alwys classify what is in the center of the image.
Irregular with lots of star forming going on
PN G031.3-00.5 -- Planetary Nebula
Nice catch !
oh, I see. You can post anything you want on the forum. Not just the best ones. It's completely up to you.
Badly stitched together picture. #funny
I don't really understand the question ?
A very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
Yes, the blue object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The object to the top left of the central galaxy is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and rings are optical artifacts
This is a star. The colors are optical artifacts
The central object is a galaxy, but the one at the top is indeed a star from our galaxy.
Correct. Most of the objects in this image are stars. Sometimes the software miscategorizes a star
That is a lens flare (optical artifact) cause d by a star just outside of this image
Could be
This is an overexposed star from our galaxy. Btw, always classify what is in the center of the image. Happy Hunting !
Here's the rotated pic. The rings could be very faint spiral arms. There is also a nice dust lane. Beautiful !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=192.09573148&dec=8.49816398&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
the greenish bright blob is a foreground star from our galaxy. The spike is an optical artifact from a star just outside of this image
These objects are stars with some optical artifacts.
These objects are stars in our galaxy. The colors and centers are optical artifacts. Something went very wrong with the filters
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors are an optical artifact. Something went wrong with the filters
Could be a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star outside of this image. In any case : star/artifact
disturbed spiral or irregular. In any case, it's a galaxy, not a nebula
These two objects are stars from our galaxy. No merger, sorry
Those are star forming regions in the galaxy
These are indeed three stars who appear to be close together. Just from this image it is not possible to say if they are really close
No, this is a star from our galaxy. The colors are optical artifacts
Almost all the objects in this image are stars from our galaxy, not galaxies
That is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star outside of this image
the object at the top is a foreground star. The spikes and colors are optical artifacts
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
It's two stars that appear close together. No way to tell by just looking at an image if they are really close.
These three objects are stars from our galaxy, not galaxies
elliptical : smooth and medium
That would be a huuuuuuuuuuge planet. 😄
Sorry, we can't see planets at these distances. It's just an optical artifact
nice elliptical. Smooth and round for me
It's a star
This is a star. The color is an optical artifact. Something went wrong with the filters
Sorry, no merger. These objects are stars from our galaxy
That is a star forming region in the galaxy
Most of the objects here are stars
Definitely a star ! 😄
The object to the left is another galaxy
If you think it is an elliptical it cannot be a spiral !!!! Smooth means no features whatsoever !
Possibly;-D
But always classify the object in the center of the image !
The central object is just one galaxy. Nice (possible) neighbor to the right !
😄
great pic, definitely a star !
Not really disturbed for me.
merger for me too ! (distortion, distortion, distortion ;-D)
Here's the wiki link for more info : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf–Rayet_star
Yup, star ! ;-D
I'm thinking artifact too.
The blue/red/green is definitey an asteroid. Nice catch ! ;-D
Some really great pics of mergers tonight !!
Let's declare October 15th merger day ! ;-D
Wow, gorgeous dust lane. Agree with turelli, interacting galaxies
Wow indeed !
Wow, great catch !
Not too sure about the polar ring.
Definitely disturbed, don't know about merger. Can't find a second galaxy !
This is an optical artifact caused by the glare of a star just outside of this image.
The white object is a star and the colored center is just an optical artifact
The two central objects are galaxies not stars. The greenish dot is indeed a star
Seriously disturbed. I'd go for merger
If I wasn't blushing before .... 😄
Definitely merger with this kind of distortions
Two foreground stars for me
Aww, thanks ! (insert blushing smiley)
I'd go for irregular for this one
Great pic !
SIMBAD calls these interacting galaxies
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=242.91795814&dec=52.4564287&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Wow ! Very dramatic merger !
Definitely Jedi training area ! ;-D
Looks like a foreground star to me too
I wouldn't call it loose, but one armed with star looks good.
I can't find anything ! Sometimes the software gets confused ! ;-D
Yup ! ;-D
Lots of background noise. A very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much to tell about it.
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
Yes, definitely a star
Definitely a star. The colors are optical artifacts
These objects are stars from our galaxy. The colors are imaging processing artifacts. Classify as star/artifact
This is just a star. The colors are optical artifacts. Something went wrong with the filters
a beautiful Hubble star. And yes, the spikes and rings and colors are all optical artifact !
😄
Merger for me too ! With these kind of distortions, no doubt about it ! 😄
😄
Meaning the object to the right : good call ! 😄
Yup, good call !
Not even a satellite trail. Just some optical artifacts.
Btw, always classify what is in the center of the image
Happy Hunting ! 😄
I'm thinking you mean a two-armed spiral when you say doublespiral !
It's kinda confusing !
This is just a star from our galaxy. The color is just an optical artifact.
Really looks like some interaction going on. I'd say merger too
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=349.7433036&dec=27.28930852&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Here's the zoomed out, rotated and recentered image. The central galaxy is now halfway up to the right. Looks like there is a nebula !
Could be a merger, there is some distortion.
Don't think it's a lens. Spirals are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
The object to the right is probably a star, the other two are galaxies.
Not much distortion. No merger for me
possible #arc ?
The white object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy, so no merger possible, sorry ! 😄
The only stars we can see in these images are foreground stars from our galaxy (like the white blob at 3). Don't see any ring, sorry
No distortion, so no merger for me. But it could still be a possibility
Just a star. The color and the weird center are optical artifacts.
I'm thinking no merger and three foreground stars.
Image processing artifact
Could be but too blurry to tell for me
All the red dots are foreground stars from our galaxy.
I agree with StereoSpace
Could be a foreground star, but I'm thinking optical artifact (imaging processing artifact)
Could be just line of sight. No distortion, no merger for me
Very nice merger
Not a nebula, but an irregular galaxy.
The clumpy buton is only available for the Hubble pics.
#ring
Possible #arc ? I'm not too sure about it. The galaxy doesn't look massive enough, but just in case ! ;-D
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
In this case it is the bright yellowish blob, which is a foreground star
These three objects are all stars, sorry
Only the central object is a galaxy, the other three are foreground stars
The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
Hubble star for me too !
The line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside of this image
If the objects are stars, they are always foreground stars from our galaxy.
We can't see planets in these images. Nice edge on galaxy with a dustlane
The two stars on the left are stars from our galaxy, so there is NO interaction possible between them and the galaxy.
these are two stars.
No distortion, no merger for me
Something went wrong with the filters. Optical artifact
Those are not stars but star forming regions. this star forming activity is caused by the interaction with the other galaxy
barred/disturbed spiral for me too !
edge on for me too
I'd go for merger. Some interaction
This is a star with some weird optical artifacts.
That is a foreground star from our galaxy
This a star. The colors and the bright red center are optical artifacts
This is just a star with some optical artifacts
Hubble star
This is actually a star. The core and the colors are just optical artifacts.
merger for me
Something went wrong with the filters. Just a star, sorry ! 😉
The thing bottom left, just outside of the image is indeed a star
two galaxies : merger or overlap ?
Since this is a SDSS pic, I'd call this star forming ! But hey, that is just me ! 😄
Why an AGN ????
gorgeous #dustlane
The central object is just a couple of pixels, so, for me, it would be star/artifact. I know it is a galaxy, ,but there is not much to tell
don't think so. Not that blue !
There are no individual stars in this image (except for the little yellow 1to the left). The blue blobs are star forming regions. #merger !
Wow ! great merger
#voorwerpjes ?
Yes, this is a satellite trail. Usually they're green but blue and red are possible too !
Nice one ! 😉
Don't think so !. These are just two very faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much to tell about them, sorry.
Yes, good call ! Always classify the object in the enter of the image and in this case that is the really disappointingly small smudge.
Nice one ! 😄
No, that distinction was only asked for in GZ1. I can't remember why this question was dropped.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=323.36520072&dec=-0.82200822&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It's Messier 2, a globular cluster
What a gorgeous merger !
😄
They use five filters (if I remember correctly)
merger for me ! 😃
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=22.3011422&dec=11.26651692&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
I clicked through to the SDSS pages and this is what it should have shown !
😄
No, just a star with a lot of optical artifacts
I'd call it a disturbed spiral
Not much distortion, could be an overlap
That is a foreground star. The color is just an optical artifact
Always classify the object in the center of the image. In this case the spiral. 😉
Just a star.
The stars are foreground stars from our galaxy. The central object is a galaxy
The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy. The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy.
The two white objects are foreground stars
That is just an optical artifact
Yes, the colors and spikes are all optical artifacts. The object is a star
#ring, #voorwerpje
#overlap
The object in the top right corner is a star. And the rings and colors are optical artifacts. Btw, always classify the object in the center
the objects in the bottom left corner are galaxies (not stars !). Could be a merger, could also be an overlap
These are very faint and fuzzy galaxies, defintely not stars. Not really much to go on.
Not much distortion. Hard to tell if there is any interaction.
No, the white object is a foreground star from our galaxy. There is no interaction possible between a star from our galaxy and a galaxy
Optical artifact caused by a star just outside of this image
With this kind of distortion, definitely merger
a very faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much to tell about it.
The orange object is a foreground star from our galaxy. and always classify the object in the center of the image
It's a long shot, but it looks like an #arc
Very disturbed spiral ! ;-D
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.
The blue clumps are star forming regions
At least one merger, don't know about the other one
If it is this flat it cannot be an elliptical. This is a perfect example of a distorted edge on with a litle bulge. Could even be a merger ?
There are quite a number of stars in this image,certainly not 8 galaxies.
possible merger : good call !
could be a merger, could be an overlap. It's your call !
I would go for two ! But that is just me ! ;-D
Oh yes ! 😄
That is a foreground star from our galaxy
Definitely not smooth !! I'm seeing a disturbed spiral with lots of star forming regions (the blue clumps)
This is a star from our galaxy. The colors are just optical artifacts.
Optical artifact
Thisis not a galaxy, but a star with some funny optical artifacts
That is a foreground star
Star. The colors are optical artifacts.
If you can see spiral arms you can indicate that. But if you think it's smooth you can indicate that.
no lens for me, just stars
that is a foreground star. It only appears close to the galaxies
There is no interaction possible between a star from our galaxy and the central galaxy.
It is just a line of sight
Remember, the stars you see in these images are all stars from our galaxy. There is no interaction possible between them and the galaxies
These stars are foreground stars from our galaxy. They only appear close to the galaxy
Just from this image it is not possible to tell if these stars are close together
The star is a foreground star from our galaxy. It is not possible that it is merging with the galaxy.
These stars appear close together. No way to tell from this image if they are physically close
yes, an overlapping star. The star is in our galaxy and the galaxy is very far away. So they are not really close
Yes, almost all the objects here are stars. Only top right corner looks like a galaxy to me
Three stars in a row
Lots of stars. Central object is a galaxy
No, the central object is a galaxy, with a bright core and the white object is a foreground star from our gaalxy
These are two elliptical galaxies. Possible merger
I think it is possible in SDSS to filter out the asteroids(moving objects).I don't think there are any plans for checking out asteroids here
Just a lot of stars.
Those are foreground stars from our galaxy. The colors are just optical artfacts
What circles ???
For me this is a smooth, round, nothing odd galaxy
Not a super nova. This is just a star from our galaxy.
The three bright white objects are foreground stars (stars from our galaxy). nothing special, sorry ! Happy hunting
wow, great catch (asteroid) !
Merger for me too !
This is a great merger and the blue/purple is very likely to be a voorwerpje. Read the comments below for more info
the object to the bottom left is not a galaxy but a foreground star from our galaxy
The bright object to the bottom right is not a super nova but a star in our galaxy!
Happy Hunting !
I'd go for an edge on with a little rounded bulge. But that is just me. Just answer the questions as well as you can ! 😄
Nope, not a cloud. This is an irregular galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=106.95532512&dec=40.29730077&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
No, these are diffraction spikes (optical artifacts from a star just outside of this image.
Next post gives the zoomed out and rotated pic
There are quite a number of these very faint and fuzzy galaxies. Just give it your best shot !
Happy Hunting !
This picture is so pixelated it could be anything : bad pixel, cosmic ray not removed, background noise, ....
Two satellite trails ! ;-D
Nice catch !
That is only for the very bright stars.
Only the very bright stars cause those artifacts. Others are just round blobs and they can come in all colors.
the star is the object to the left of the central galaxy
Yes, asteroid ! 😉
the blue/red/green object is an asteroid ! 😃
These three objects are stars
possible classification : features/disk - not an edge on - no bar - no spiral - bulge
Yes, it's a planetary nebula. It goes by the catchy name of PN G093.3-00.9 ! 😉
or a possible @polarring ?
Go to the SDSSpage, click navigate (get image).Zoom in and position the little square over the asteroid.Click explore (on the right). 😄
Nope, not a galaxy.
This is a planetary nebula (PN G178.3-02.5)
Nice catch
Don't think so. These three objects are all stars.
The green line is a satellite trail. The three red objects are foreground stars from our galaxy. No lensing whatsoever in this image, sorry
Probably another gaalxy
Hi,
almost every object in this image is a star from our galalxy. So, yes it could be a little cluster of stars
Two armed spiral, disturbed
Two faint and fuzzy galaxies. Not much more to tell about them.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image
There is no way you can tell if you are the first to classify this image. Maybe the zookeepers can check it out.
that is a foreground star
some disturbance. Merger for me too
not a lens. spirals (or disks) are usually not massive enough to do lensing
That is a foreground star from our galaxy. Not connected with the central galaxy
No way to tell, just from this image.
Incredible merger anyway !
Could be a foreground star, could be a faint galaxy. No way to tell from his image.
I don't think it is anything dramatic like that. I'd go for edge on / disturbed !
pretty messy equation! ;-D (just kidding)
gorgeous merger though
It could be the result of a flyby, although after zooming out there isn't a likely culprit in the vicinity. Pretty disturbed though ! 😄
:-DD
I'd go for disturbed, but hey, that is just me ! ;-D
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=156.06837281&dec=78.62008769&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Every answer is okay. If there are lots of different classifications, the scientists will pick up on this because it is special ! 😄
Looking at just this pic, I'd say irregular or disturbed spiral. Looking at the zoomed out pic, I'd say merger.
:-DD
yellow/green for me too.But I think the green is an optical artifact caused by the cut-off. It could be just a star.
nice one
ring is okay. Just give it your best shot !
I'm not sure that is an asteroid. They are usually green/red/blue and I sort of miss that.
Could you give us a pointer ? Can't seem to find it.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=83.58854092&dec=-5.81490799&scale=6.338032&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Definitely wow ! ;-D
Zoomed out view in the next post
Not too sure about dustlane.Could be just an optical effect caused by the glare of this very bright center.But if you see a dustlane,mark it
The blue objects are star forming regions in this spiral. Very beautiful indeed !
With these kind of features, you cannot call it smooth ! Definitely not an elliptical.
Disturbed spiral, irregular something
A great psychedelic Hubble star ! 😄
I'd go for merger too
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=191.21597125&dec=-20.42659225&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It will make a lovely Valentine's Card ! 😄
Sometimes the software identifies parts of a galaxy as separate entities. Here this happened with the blue blob (star forming area)
In this case star/artifact is okay
Possible merger
Definitely some interaction
Could be an edge on.
definitely edge on
That is a star from our galaxy
satellite trail ! 😄
great dust lane !
I'm thinking foreground star from our galaxy
Yes, not much to go on. Just answer the questions as well as you can
A foreground star from our galaxy !
It's an optical artifact caused by a star just outside of this image
How do you know ? just curious
Looking a the distortion, it's already happening ! 😉
Did you notice the asteroid (blue/red/green) object bottom right ?
According to SDSS it is a star. But it could just as well be a very faint galaxy. No way to tell really
Even if it is bright, just by looking at one picture you'll never be able to tell. You need multiple images taken at different times
No merger for me. Smooth and round, nothing odd.
That is probably a faint and fuzzy galaxy. No distortion visible, so no merger for me
Looks like it is the very faint galaxy. Not much to classify either way. 😄
Could be a foreground star, could be a faint galaxy
I only see one galaxy. No merger
Here you have a disturbed galaxy, the blue clumps are star forming regions and the dark band is a lovely dust lane
Really great merger. The red object could be the very bright core of the galaxy.
Looks like three stars to me
Definitely not a planetary nebula. Could be a star.
Foreground star from our galaxy with some great optical effects
Yes, most of the objects here are stars
Yes, almost all the objects in this image are stars
Hi, here you have a beautiful spiral with a bright core.
The bright object is actually a foreground star from our galaxy. So no interaction possible with the central galaxy
Not much distortion, but it is still a possibility
Yes, these white objects are foreground stars from our gaalxy
the greenish object is a foreground star from our galaxy. So it is not possible to have interaction between a foreground star and a galaxy
The two objects to the left are probably foreground stars. There is no distortion so no merger for me anyway
It's a galaxy with a foreground star
stars are not points in these images
Something went wrong with the imaging. The filters misaligned.
The object is a galaxy
the bright 'bluish' center is actually the core of the galaxy. The red object is a foreground star from our galaxy
spirals are disks !
this is indeed half of a beautiful edge on with a dust lane
It could be a foreground star
This is almost certainly not a supernova, sorry ! SDSS calls it a galaxy but it could just as well be a foreground star
Good catch,that is indeed an asteroid
These aren't galaxies, these are stars from our galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=175.18530732&dec=22.44638208&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
That is a foreground star. The funny colors are just optical artifacts
Herbig Haro object.
Wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro_object
This is a Herbig Haro object : wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro_object
Looks amazing !
Yes you can. If the galaxy is disturbed (flyby, merger. But in this case I'd go for foreground star
Just give it your best shot. If all else fails : star/artifact ! 😄
Yup, satellite trail !
Probably three galaxies. Looks like they are interacting. The spike is a diffraction spike from a star just outside of this image
Probably foreground stars ! So, nothing to do with the central gaalxy
foreground star for me !
Obviously an artifact. Diffraction spike ?
#overlap
That object just right of center is a foreground star. The color and weird center are optical artifacts
Those are foreground stars from our galaxy
Yes ! All the objects in this image are stars.
the objects in the chain are all foreground stars. So, it's just a lonely galaxy ;-D
the central object here is a star from our galaxy. So star/artifact.
The object to the bottom/right is a star from our galaxy. The object to the left of the central galaxy is a galaxy.
Those are star forming regions in the galaxy
the central object is a galaxy. The others are foreground stars
Almost all of the objects in this image are stars, not galaxies
Nice spiral, no merger. The white blob is a foreground star from our galaxy
Not really. Just an overexposed star from our galaxy
Not really, these are actually three stars from our own galaxy.
Looks like three (or four) stars in a row ! Most of the objects in this pic are stars btw
I'm going for a very faint and fuzzy galay
I'm looking at a merger of two galaxies with the one to the left having an arm with some major star forming going on
No too sure about it being an elliptical. I'd go for irregular
The stars are stars from our own galaxy. So it is not possible that there is any interaction between galaxies and foreground stars
That is a satellite trail. Sunlight gets reflected of the satellite and because they move so fast they get picked up only in one filter.
Looks like it to me ! 😄
Could be a foreground star, could be a star forming region. Could go either way.
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=152.08605461&dec=31.86270151
It's NGC3126
The top and bottom objects in this line of three are foreground stars, and I'm not sure the central one is a galaxy either
Hi, I don't see any orange lines. There is a lot of background noise and the orange blob top left of the galaxy is a foreground star
I only see one spiral. Where is the second one ?
no lens for me.
It's a satellite trail
possible #arc at 8
Wow, cool find : two satellite trails ! 😄
This is a star from our own Milky Way
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=197.51257986&dec=34.18165942&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
#merger, possible #voorwerpje
nice spiral, possible #voorwerpje. I don't think the two little galaxies are connected
the dot , top left is a foreground star
Yes, most of the objects in this image are stars
Definitely not an elliptical. Looks more like a two-armed spiral. Definitely disk-like
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=187.78814312&dec=36.61677769
These blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy
It's a star. But you're right , these vivid red ones are rare
That is a star. The green bit is an optical artifact
weird #arc. Looks separate from the galaxy but it is the same color and very thick. I don't think this is a lens
this looks more like an edge on to me. It's much too thin to be a cigar shaped elliptical
An optical artifact caused by the glare of a star just outside of this image
that is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star just outside of this image
Here you have two galaxies merging => two cores
the clumps button is only for the Hubble pics and this is an image from SDSS
It's a two armed spiral with the spiral arms going all the way back
optical artifacts
There are no obvious distortions, so #overlap for me
These are three stars. And it's probably just a chance alignment
Just star ! 😄
Yup, stars 😃
#planetarynebula PN G078.3-02.7
This is a satellite trail
Most of the objects in this image are stars
That is a satellite trail
This is a planetary nebula, not a galaxy
very faint and fuzzy galaxy
Or possibly just two foreground stars. Sometimes the software mislabels stars as galaxies
Optical artifacts.
Most of the objects here are stars from our own galaxy
These objects are all stars
The blue blobs are star forming regions in the galaxy
The objects to the left of the central galaxy are all foreground stars from our own galaxy
definitely disturbed.
the white blob is a foreground star
No, just a foreground star from our own galaxy
beautiful #merger
I'm thinking two foreground stars
They even look great when they're not inverted ! ;;-DD
Nope, star/artifact will do!
These are all stars. Something went wrong with the filters and the imaging. It looks amazing,, but it's just a bunch of imaging artifacts.
great optical artifacts ! and stars !
Beautiful optical artifact ! Beautiful star! :-DD
#merger for me !
My first idea was foreground star. But I'mm not so sure know. This is a very disturbed system, could be a core of one of the galaxies.
Don't over think it. This is probably just an eliptical/in between galaxy. But that is just me ! ;-D. Certainly not a nebula !
If there is no sign of anything, they could be ellipticals !
gorgeous disturbed spiral !
Nice catch ! 😄
beautiful #irregular
a barred, two-armed spiral with an obvious bulge or a barred something with an obvious bulge ! Your guess is as good as mine !
disturbed , two-armed, barred, spiral with a very bright (odd = other) center anyone ? 😉 !
I'd go for a medium tight wound,two-armed spiral with a dominant bulge, anything odd : ring.
But what a gorgeous galaxy !
Just WOW !
These are diffraction spikes. Here's the wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike
Oh yes, definitely a #merger
the dark spot is an optical artifact caused by over exposure. Don't really know what you mean by wingtips. Could be a tight spiral ?
If you mean the blue object in the bottom left corner : that is a foreground star
small #arc at 6 ? No counter image though
#PN
Check out this area ! gorgeous
Yes, probably a chance alignment. The orange one is a star. The yellow at 11 could be interacting with the central galaxy.
With these kind of distortions: definitely #merger
The central one is certainly an elliptical. the one to the right is a barred galaxy (not an ellip). The two bright ones are foreground stars
Some people will classify this as smooth and round, others as a disk with a bulge.
Just give it your best shot ! 😄
Both of the spirals look disturbed. #merger
The two spirals look disturbed, so #merger in progress
Not a lot of disturbance. I'm thinking #overlap
I think the 'arms' are just background noise. Really too fuzzy to tell anything
😄
Foreground star for me too !
bad pixel ?
The bulge is not in the center of the galaxy. Merger for me
o you mean the little blob to the right of the central galaxy ? That is a faint and fuzzy galaxy. Not much to tell about it.
Hubbele star ! 😄
I'm thinking #overlap. The fuzzy galaxy in front of the edge on
Yes ! Lot's of stars
Nope, optical artifact 😉
That is most likely a foreground star
I'd go for #irregular
The two objects in the top left corner are stars, also the one in the top right corner. The two objects in the center are galaxies
There is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy in the center of the image. The red/green and blue pixels are background noise
There is more than one galaxy in this image.
It's an optical artifact. The main object is a star, btw
Not much distortion. Could be an #overlap
This is a satellite trail
the bottom one is a star. The 'channel' is an optical artifact
Looks like two stars to me
Lovely barred spiral. Why do you call this junk ?
#voorwerpje ?
great #irregular galaxy
Both these objects are stars.
I'm thinking foreground star
Carefull with NED and SIMBAD, You have to check the coordinates (ra, dec). The QSO is actually the purpleish blob at the bottom
I'm thinking foreground star
No. Just a star (a bit overexposed)
Something went wrong with the imaging. Optical artifact
this is an overexposed star. Optical artifact
That is a foreground star from our own galaxy
Most of the objects around the central galaxy are indeed stars! Good catch
Here's the zoomed out and rotated pic ! Enjoy
Tight spiral and star forming : check. No dust lane for me though
Wow, these Hubble pic never cease to amaze me. Probably overlap for me too ! 😉
The darker points in the bright centers are indeed optical artifacts, because of over sauration
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=14.62145869&dec=22.32530066&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
and a lovely #merger
That is not a star. It's a satellite trail 😃
The colors are so weird with these Hubble pics. I'm still trying to get a feel for them.
A very distorted galaxy. Could the litlle one be the culprit ?
definitely a bar, possible a spiral. But tha is just me .
Just answer the questions as well as you can and have fun !
Yup ! ,-)
Nope, possible overlap 😉
If you lean by hotspots the blue blobs, these are star forming regions !
I only see one spiral
I see three bigger ones and maybe a couple of smaller ones. But these could be foreground stars
This is a Hubble pic. Lots of weird colors
The blue satellite trail is obviously in front of the galaxy 😄
Don't think so. Because they move, asteroids come in different colors. This could be a cosmic ray that wasn't removed. Or a star ?
They are probably foreground stars
Hi, first of, spirals are usually not massive enough to do some lensing. And second, these objects are too far away from the lensing object.
I'm thinking #overlap
Good catch !
For me, if I go for irregular I don't use disturbed. An irregular looks disturbed anyhow ! 😉 And no dust lanes for me
I'd go for stars too. SDSS says they're galaxies, but I'm not sure. Except for the one center right. That one looks more like a galaxy !
Btw, always classify what is in the center of the image, even if it is very faint and fuzzy and there is a big galaxy in the corner ! ;-D
Definitely disturbed. The orange blob is probably a foreground star from the Milky Way
#irregular. The 'hotspots' are star forming regions in the galaxy
ALWAYS classify the object in the center of the image. Even if it is a tiny, fuzzy blob and there is a big galaxy in the corner ! 😄
Nice disturbances too. #merger for me
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=351.98626677&dec=8.7789912&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
good catch
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=323.36095591&dec=-0.84165323&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
This looks very much like a globular cluster.
Found it : it's Messier 002
First off, always classify the object in the center of the image. Not much help here ! 😉
No dustlane. I'm thinking #merger
Looks like there is some interaction !
Maybe a little bit of disturbance ?
the blue/red/green object at 7 is an asteroid. The orange one at 3 is a foreground star
too fuzzy to tell, for me
Yes, defintely a foreground star
Looks disturbed , but too fuzzy to tell
Looks like a star forming region in the galaxy
possible merger, not a lot of disturbance
I'd go for #merger
Yup, definitely a star
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=349.49783885&dec=9.67201731&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
I think these are star forming regions and part of the central galaxy. Caused by the interaction with the other galaxy
definitely merger ! 😄
There seems to be an #arc to the left. But it is too far away from the lensing galaxy and too fuzzy. Probably something disturbed. 😉
No, spirals are usually not massive enough to do any lensing.
or could be an overlap
And this is a star
I'd go for irregular with a nice star forming area (the blue blob at the top)
Eos = edge on spiral
The blue blobs are star forming regions
very disturbed
These are not lenses/arcs but the arms from the spiral
😄
or nice merger ?
That is a bar. Possible two armed spiral
The yellow object is a foreground star. So definitely not merging with the galaxy. The galaxy looks disturbed
Definitely not a jet. Could be an overlap, could be merger
No idea ! SDSS thinks one of them is a star, but I'm not too sure about it. Cosmic ray that wasn't removed ?
a very faint and fuzzy galaxy !
that is an optical artifact
Nope, this is a very faint and fuzzy galaxy
two foreground stars ! 😃
a foreground star with some weird optical artifacts
No, it's a planetary nebula
Wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_nebula
Here's what wiki has to say about gravitational lenses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens
These three objects are stars in our own galaxy !
No a lot to go on here. Just give it your best shot !
Just answer the questions as well as you can
That is indeed a foreground star with lots of optical artifacts ! Looks great, doesn't it ! 😃
beuaiful #iregular, or maybe alien ! ;-D
There are 3 galaxies in this picture. If you're asking if they are all merging, I'd say yes. 😉
Lovely #threearmedspiral
Nice one ! 😃
Most of the objects here are stars. The colors are just artifacts.
😄
Really cool PN
You're right on both counts : It is a star with some weird optical artifacts ! 😃
That is a foreground star. Lovely optical artifacts. Don't worry, after a while you'll recognize them in a heartbeat ! 😉
Nope, just an optical artifact. Good call on the star !
The green spot is probably a foreground star from our galaxy. And there is no lens in this pic.
amazing pic
Looks like three stars to me ! 😉
or edge on
Their redshifts are very close (0.0209 and 0.02089), so it is possible these galaxies are close to each other
Could this be an #overlap ? Really not sure.
These faint and fuzzy galaxies are not easy. Just give it your best shot ! 😃
Not really. More a spiral where the arms meet
If it has a ring it cannot be an elliptical. What you call the elliptical is the core of the galaxy
If it has a bar and a ring it cannot be an elliptical. But great catch !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=162.96821567&dec=77.57335137&scale=0.792254&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
I'd say disturbed, but not by the little galaxy. In the zoomed out view, you see another disturbed galaxy.
Hard to tell. I'm leaning towards merger because of the distortion
Nope, it's HH41, a Herbig Haro object. Here"s the wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro_object
Could be, but it is really very fuzzy
the red object is a foreground star from our own galaxy
could be a #polarring
That is a satellite trail.
that is a gravitational lens
Really great catch
:-DD
Why ? Or why not ?
definitely stars !
Yup, stars ! 😄
Oops, sorry. That looks more like a star forming area in the galaxy
Which blue one ? I don't see a merger here, sorry !
The blue object at the bottom of the pic is just a foreground star
I'd go for disturbed edge-on
with foreground star
Very nice Hubble spiral !
I'd tag it as a ringed galaxy. Nice catch
Nice one !
I'd throw in #disturbed for good measure !
just wow ! 😄
nice #merger
That is an optical artifact. It's because because the center is over bright
why would you think it is very old ?
satellite trail ! 😃
#ring
#ring
the orange and the yellow blob are both probably foreground stars from our galaxy
disturbed spiral for me
#merger for me too
or a disturbed spiral
Nice disturbance : #merger for me
That is a satellite trail

very disturbed !
Nice #merger
Hi,
This is an optical artifact caused by the glare of a star just outside of this picture
Some problem with the imaging
That is a weird one.
the orange blobs are probably foreground stars. No lens for me
no disturbance. #overlap for me
They only appear to be close together. Line of sight
It is a star. The color is not real, something went wrong with the filters
something went very wrong with the imaging.
It's a star
Optical artifact because it is so bright
That is a foreground star from our own galaxy
I'd go for irregular, but you can see some spiral features too.
These two are not galaxies but stars.
No, that is a foreground star from our own galaxy
It's a satellite trail
What you call the center is actually another galaxy.
Nice #overlap
This is a star and the color and the strange center are optical artifacts
This is a star.
#irregular
The bluish object is a foreground star
Always classify the object in the center of the image. Here it's the almost edge-on. The white objects are foreground stars.
It's an optical artifact caused by a star just outside of this image
that is an optical artefact caused by a star just outside of the picture
the one to the right is probably a foreground star
yes, that is a foreground star
What ! No, definitely not a nebula!
What a great and absolutely beautiful #merger
They could be faint and fuzzy galaxies or faint and fuzzy stars. No way to tell just from just this pic. Btw, they don't really look alike
Wow ! great pair of irregulars !
Very funky optical artifacts !
Something went very wrong with one of the filters
A radio source can be a galaxy !
This is definitely a merger for me
Meeh. don't think so
Something went very wrong with the filters and the imaging. Just click star/artifact for this one !
Very ! ;-D
With just one picture there is no way you can tell if this is supernova. You need multiple images. This is probably a foreground star.
definitely a #merger
optical artifact
The line is a diffraction spike (optical artifact) from a star outside of this image
It's an optical artifact caused by the glare of a star just outside of this image
a very faint and fuzzy galaxy
looks like a couple of stars
Correct, foreground star
the large object is indeed a foreground star
That is an optical artifact caused by the bright center
This is actually a star. The colors are optical artifacts
Lots of stars, badly imaged.
I'd go a smooth elliptical too. Don't know if the to other galaxies are physically close
Here's what wiki has to say about it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens
these objects are probably stars
These are stars.
Sky Server does get it wrong occasionally ! 😉
It's just an optical artifact
Most of them are stars
Yes, this is a foreground star. The blue thingies are optical artifacts
these are all stars.
WOW !
These objects are not galaxies, but stars. They are from a very poorly imagined region. The colors are optical artifacts
these are stars from a poorly imaged region.
The colors are optical artifacts
Don't really know what you are talking about.
For me this is an edge on with a bulge
No lenses ! Great merger !
definitely a foreground star !
very disturbed spiral !
Well if it is an irregular it will always look disturbed ! 😉
Possibly a very faint background galaxy. Equally possible it is a foreground star.
It sure looks very bright, but with just this one picture, there is no way of telling one way or the other.
Yup, definitely stars 😄
or disturbed something, something ?
The red color and the spike are optical artifacts
Btw Happy Hunting ! 😃
First of : always classify the central object, in this case the small galaxy to the top right of the visible area. Not much to go on. 😦
The dark spot in the center of this galaxy is just an optical artifact.
with these kind of features, I wouldn't call this an elliptical
Although SDSS calls them both galaxies, they still look like foreground stars to me.
there could be a black hole here, but we can't see it !
And as for classification , I'd go for edge on with a bulge
I see some distortion in the central galaxy, maybe #merger ?
#merger for me too !
Definitly disturbed
With my very scientific method (I use a square of paper), it looks like the rather smooth galaxy is in the center of the pic
of ? 😉
top one looks disturbed, but I'd go for overlap
tight spiral (with a bar) for me too
Just a reminder : always classify the object in the center of the image ! 😉
or edge-ons
If you classify it as an elliptical, it cannot have a bar. A bar goes with the 'features' classification.
barred ring for me
the white object is a foreground star
I don't see one.
Nice #merger though
The orange blob is a foreground star
My first thought was irregular too. But this could be a cluster of stars
Yes a satellite trail. I haven't seen a double one before. Nice catch !
It's an optical effect caused by the glare from a star just outside this picture
nice #merger
gorgeous !
I'm seeing a loose two-armed spiral
Yes, probably a foreground star.
I'm seeing two galaxies and the left one is disturbed. #merger
I'd go for irregular for this one. The blue clumps are star forming regions
I'm thinking #merger
That is a satellite trail
#irregular. The blue dots are star forming regions
tight spiral
yes ! disturbed
great #merger
I'm thinking star
that is a satellite trail
difficult to say with these fuzzy ones
I think this is a star
definitely a galaxy
foreground stars
#merger for me too
the white object is not a galaxy but a star. The blue bit is an optical artifact
could be a star
not stars ! galaxies
that is a foreground star from the Milky Way
a very faint and fuzzy galaxy
great #merger
Wow, great big star ! 😄
The green object is a star, the orange/red blob is just an optical artifact caused by over saturation
Nothing to be sorry about. We (at least I) were newbies once !
Just look at a lot of images and ask a lot of questions 😃
Happy Hunting !
The central object is an elliptical galaxy (not a star). To the right is a very disturbed galaxy. I'm thinking #merger in progress
this looks like it's a galaxy. Don't know if it is interacting with the big one to the left.
This is a star. The colors and the red blob are optical artifacts
I can see two very faint arms going around the core
This is a star. the ring and the spikes are optical artifacts
this is probably a star
The object is a star and the darker patch is an optical artifact
This is probably a star superimposed on a fuzzy galaxy
I'm thinking this is a star and the line is too straight to be real. probably artifact
the bright object is a foreground star; the red streak is just an optical artifact
not jets. Maybe, possible #voorwerpjes ? Or else, just optical artifacts ! 😉
It's a satellite trail 😃
The bright spot is probably a foreground star
they are too faint and fuzzy to tell.
that is a diffraction spike from a nearby star (opticla artifact)
great #merger
the object on the right of the central galaxy is a foreground star
These are all stars from our own galaxy
This is a star. The blue circle in the center is an optical artifact
sorry, I don't see the round purple/blue object.
No lens for me in this image.
definitely #merger
a faint and fuzzy galaxy
Oh yes !
😄
That is what some stars look like in a Hubble pic
Btw, always the central object. In this case one of the faint fuzzies ! 😉
the darker sot in the center is an optical artifact
#voorwerpje ?
the red object to the right is a foreground star
not a lens. With these kind of distortions I'm thinking #merger
the two orange objects to the left are foreground stars
with these kind of distortions, definitely #merger !
At these distances, we cannot see individual stars, let alone planets.
The orange object is a foreground star from the Milky Way
yes, you get this effect with bright stars.
not much distortion.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=323.3551486&dec=-0.84156356&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
It's Messier 2, a globular cluster
This is a satellite trail
great @merger
nice #merger
Always classify the object in the center of the image. In this case it is a very faint and fuzzy thingy.
it's an optical artifact caused by a star just outside this picture
the bright spot is indeed a foreground star
No, definitely not a star. This is an elliptical galaxy
possible #polarring ?
a very faint and fuzzy galaxy.
the smaller object is a foreground star
Stars !
I only see one galaxy
very faint and fuzzy galaxy
VERY bright center 😄
the one to the left is probably a foreground star. The two other ones are galaxies
nice catch ! 😉
Looks brill ! ,-)
I'd go for a disturbed spiral
This is most probably a star !
Not an artifact ! Personally, I'd go for irregular. But disturbed spiral is also a possibility. Just give it your best shot
This is a star in our own galaxy. The color is just an optical artifact.
Thank you !
But remember, I was a newbie once ! It just took a lot of pics to get me to this level ! And every click counts ! :-DD
meh, looks at least a little disturbed to me ! 😉
nope, two galaxies merging ! 😄
These kind of distortions are what you'd expect in a merger ! 😉
I'm thinking #merger
The very bright object to the bottom right is a foreground star.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.
smooth - round - nothing odd. But that is just me. With these fuzzies it's anyone's guess. Just answer the questions the best you can
nice one !
the dark spot in the center is just an optical artifact.
How to classify this one ? : smooth-round-nothing odd (but that is just me ! 😉)
Spirals are usually not massive enough to do some lensing. I can see what you mean but I'm thinking background noise. Sorry !
good call.
Maybe #bar
that is probably a foreground star
the object to the left is definitely a galaxy
three stars in a row ! 😉
nice #dustlane
It's a star
Most of the objects here are foreground stars. The object in the center however is a galaxy.
Yes, always classify the object in the center of the image
It could be a foreground star
Sorry, I don't speak Russian. Please try to post in English
these are galaxies, not stars. #merger for me too
It's MRK1094. A galaxy with a lot of star forming going on (blue clumps)
irregular galaxy.
The 'dust' is actually millions of stars
beautiful #overlap
the blue object is a star from our own galaxy
the blue object to the left of the galaxy is a foreground star
This is a satellite trail
It's a satellite trail
I'd go for irregular for this one. It looks like it has a bar.
There is a very faint/fuzzy galaxy in the center, but there is really not much to say about it. The colored specks are just background noise
Never seen this before, probably an optical artifact. Or we're under attack from ET ;-D
Yes, these are probably stars. There is no way to tell from this image if they are really close together or if it is just line of sight.
the blue/red/green object is an asteroid in front of the galaxy. Nice catch !
slightly disturbed ! 😉
I can't give any solid advice. Just classify a lot of images and you will see the difference in a heartbeat. These are just stars.
These are stars in our galaxy. And there is no way to tell from this picture if they are physically close or just line of sight. looks great
Nope, most of the objects here are foreground stars. Btw, always classify the central object. Here this means the very fuzzy little blob.
These are defintiely stars.Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image.
Happy hunting ! 😄
That is probably just an artifact
or disturbed edge-on. Whatever you feel is right
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=59.005953&dec=80.2066093&scale=0.09903175&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
top left : probably nothing (artifact)
bottom left : probably a faint galaxy.
Here's the zoomed out and rotated image
definitely a star
Probably two stars, with some optical artifacts (color, etc)
For me, if I can't see any distortion, it isn't a merger. These galaxies could be close, but it can also be just a line of sight.
Most of the objects in this picture are stars, so no merging. Sorry !
Happy Hunting ! 😄
if it is very far, it should have a high redshift !
But I agree, very fuzzy and very far away !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=204.97356655&dec=0.83882032&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
your wish is my command. :-DD Here is the zoomed out image (rotated)
very faint and fuzzy galaxy (probably).
Just give it your best shot and if it is too indistinct, there is always star/artifact. 😉
But as far as classifying goes : always classify the central object in the image.
Happy Hunting
Definitely a bar and if I squint I can see two arms
you thinks right ! ;-D
They are merging, so will probably end up as one big galaxy !
the two bright, white objects are stars
slightly disturbed edge-on with a bulge and a dustlane.
Why is it unusual ?
possible merger
Yup, definitely a galaxy
or a distorted #blueeliptical ? 😉
Yup, satellite trail 😄
definitely barred ! 😄
the green line is a satellite trail
Always classify what is in the center of the image, even if it is a very faint, fuzzy thingy ! ;-D
the bright object is a foreground star.
Btw, always classify the object in the center of the image. I can't really see anything here ! 😉
fuzzy, far away galaxy. The purple blob is an optical artifact
It's a satellite trail
This is a satellite trail
it's a satellite trail

The red object is a foreground star. The blue fuzzy one is an irregular galaxy
if you can see distortions like these, they're definitely interacting. #merger
Always classify the object in the center of the image.
In this case it is one of the very faint blobs. Most of the objects here are stars
not a lot of distortion. Could be an overlap
Now that is what I call a ring galaxy ! 😄
You are correct. The white object is a foreground star from our galaxy
the bright object to the right is a star.
Btw, alwys classify what is in the center of the image
could be an #irregular
great #merger
Yes, the bright object to the right is a star.
Btw,always classify the object in the center of the image.In this case the little orange blob
yes, this is a star with some weird coloring (optical artifact)
It's a satellite trail !
it's an optical effect (oversaturation)
a very disturbed spiral
the top bright blob is the center of the galaxy. The bottom one is a foreground star
something went wrong with the alignment of the filters. This is actually one galaxy. The colors are pretty but not rea.
the one you're asked to classify is the tiny blob in the center of the image. Not much to work with here ! 😉
possible #polarring ?
Nice !
Uncut pic (picture is rotated)

the yellow object is a star. The spikes are an optical artifact
it is a foreground star
these are probably stars
The central object here is the tiny little blob.
The arc is precisely that: A gravitational lens
bottom object is a star. The 'dustlane' is an optical artifact. That's why it appears to go on through the star
possibly a foreground star
most of the objects here are stars and some faint galaxies
It's a satellite trail
Looks like two stars to me
no, it's another galaxy
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=235.30047402&dec=15.57299735&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
optical artifact. No trace of it in the whole picture (pic rotated)
that is an optical artifact from a star just outside of the picture
slightly disturbed spiral. The greenish blob top left is a foreground star.
Most of the objects here are stars
these are stars in our galaxy
The spiral is well defined. Not an irregular
With this kind of distortion : #merger for me
I don't think it is a foreground star, just the very bright center of the galaxy.
great #merger
I think it is safe to say that that is definitely not a black hole.
those are foreground stars from our own galaxy
Always classify the object in the center of the pic. In this case the disturbed galaxy with the dust lane. The bright, blue object is a star
Disturbed galaxy or maybe an irregular.
The blue clumps are starforming regions.
This is a star and the color and center are optical artifacts
that is a satellite trail
these are stars. So, star/artifact
optical artifact.
At these distances we can't see individual stars. The blue blobs are starforming regions
the greenish object is a star
Click on GalaxyZoo examine and then on view in Skyserver (works only for SDSS pics). Lots of info to be found there
They appear close together. It's not possible to tell just from this image if they are physically close.
zoomed out image. click on get image, left of screen
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=84.85668331&dec=-0.60824269
yes, it is a reflection nebula
They are starforming regions in this irregular
just a spiral 😃
#merger
Most of the objects in this image are indeed stars
that is a foreground star from our galaxy
the bright object in the bottom left corner is a star
this is a star. The blue spikes are optical artifacts
Upeer left quadrant contains mainly stars.
And always classify what is in the center of the image. In this case, a satellite trail 😉
with these Hubble thingies, I'm thinking whatever 😄
definitely star !
this is a star
the darker spot in the center is an optical artifact
this is an optical artifact caused by a star just outside this picture
most of the objects in this image are stars
don't think it's a lens.
Disturbed galaxy for me
well, that is what galaxies are made of
foreground star for me
the 'elliptical' is the center of the disturbed ring galaxy
merger ?
WOW !
Wow ! You found a #comet !
It's the glare of a foreground star. No interaction
Most of them are stars
Always classify the object in the center of the image. In this case the very fuzzy thingy . Not much to classify here ! 😄
beauiful #merger
the white object to the left is a star
edge-on for me
the blue blobs are starforming regions
rotated 90°http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=19.08805525&dec=46.74755334&scale=0.396127&width=512&height=512&opt=
It's another galaxy and it looks like some distortion.
probably a star
Wow ! Very beautiful.
The "ring" of starforming blobs around it could be the result of a flyby
that is a star and the spikes are diffraction spikes
irregular
irregular with lots of starforming going on
NGC 3499
nice #dustline
they appear close together, but that could be just line of sight.
the bright spot on the left is a foreground star.
there is a very faint fuzzy galaxy in the center of the image.
Just give it the best you can.
star forming regions !
With these almost too faint to classify galaxies, your guess is as good as mine !
Just give it your best !
I've searched in the neighborhood, but no immediate culprits found !
Maybe an irregular ?
If you mean the small dot top right outside of the galaxy: that is another galaxy. But I don't know if it is connected to the central one
What is a spire ? Sorry
What do you mean with 'spire' ?
I'm leaning more towards overlap. Not much of a distorion here
with these kind of distortions, I'm thinking merger 😄
With these very pixellated Hubble pics, we're not sure of anything. The green thingy could be an artifact, or not.
Maybe you could elaborate a little bit more.
A nice example of ......
But it is a very nice pic anyway ! 😃
#disturbed is the safest option here ! 😉
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=15.19573579&dec=-9.18842865&scale=0.1980635&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Defintely not an arc. This a partof or merging with the bigger galaxy at the bottom. Zoomed out pic will follow. Rotated 90°
definitely not an arc. This is part of the big galgy
What you call clusters are star forming regions
disturbed spiral for me
these 'clusters' are star forming regions
irregular for me
Could be, or SDSS made a teensy weensy mistake and mislabelled a star for a galaxy ! We've been getting a lot of them today !
Gorgeous pic !
almost featureless disk for me
not a lot of distortion. maybe merger, maybe not.
With these kind of distortions : definitely #merger
Great catch
optical artifact. You get this with bright objects
definitely galaxy !
still going for star for this one !
what a gorgeous #overlap
nice #merger
or #irregular
definitely a galaxy.
I'd go for disturbed spiral
disturbed spiral for me with lots of starforming going on (the blue clumps)
nice #dustlane
😄
This is a satellite trail
just a star with some optical artifacts
that is indeed a star.
Not every edge-on has a bulge. There are lots without one
these are galaxies. Nice #merger
these are both stars. We've been getting a lot of them today !
Great #merger. the star is a foreground star from our galaxy and the galaxies are very far away. So no attraction possible.
the central object is a galaxy. But I don't really understand your question
I wouldn't call this one smooth as you see features in it. And it's a disk because youcan see background galaxies through it.
sorry, not a galaxy. This is a star.
could be some disturbance.
the top and bottom objects are foreground stars in our galaxy, so no connection with the central galaxy.
there are a lot of bad images going around today !
These two are stars
It's a star and the weird appearance is an optical artifact
It's a star and something went wrong with the imaging.
Looks like a very disturbed spiral to me. Lots of starforming going on (the blue clumps).
Maybe the result of a flyby ?
Yes, there a a lot of bad SDSS pictures coming up today.
Just click star/artifact
a #Hubblering, #ring
These are stars and something went wrong with the imaging.
yes, something went wrong with the imaging. Very pretty though ! 😃
The central objects is a star, btw
optical artefacts. Rhe blobs are stars
these are almost all stars. No lenses, sorry
filters going crazy ! 😉
These are stars and the red an optical effect
probably stars !
so, star/artifact !
Happy hunting ! 😃
You're right. This is not a galaxy. It's a star with some strange coloring and optical artifacts thrown in.
Happy Hunting ! 😄
I'd go for irregular, but disturbed spiral with starforming clumps is a perfect alternative
lot's of stars and some weird optical artefacts !
If you can see the arms go round ! 😉
Nice catch
the white blob right from the center of the galaxy could be a foreground star
LOL

incredible #merger
Here's the zoomed out pic (rotated 90°)
hi,
these two are stars in our galaxy
Galaxy Pair 😉
#arc ?
optical artefact
look at that #dustlane !
the one to the left is a foreground star
Both are seriously disturbed. Could be the early sages of a merger.
The big one is a star. The little blue one artefact ?
of stars ! 😃
that pretty much sums it up. Don't forget the big bulge ! 😉
that is a star in our galaxy
I don't think it's a merger, the two on the right look more like stars
merger for me too
Looks like two galaxies to me, although SDSS thinks it's only one
elliptical for me. The color is an artefact
these are galaxies,probably merging. The weird colors are artefacts
It is a very faint and faraway galaxy. But this one is really hard to classify.
Just give it your best shot !
nice star !
Most of the objects here are stars.
but definitely a different galaxy ! http://www.galaxyzoo.org.s3.amazonaws.com/subjects/standard/1237671166704484432.jpg
the red and blue objects are probably stars in our galaxy
merger anyone ?
That is a galaxy ! 😄
the central object is a galaxy (spiral anyone ?) and the yellow one is a foreground star
The bright object is a star in our galaxy.
Btw, always classify what is in the center of the image. In this case, not much ! 😉
or #irregular
I'm thinking disc
very ! 😃
I'm thinking overlap too !
No, here you can still see the whole galaxy. You can classify that.
Nice #merger !
Bar for me too. But I wouldn't call this one smooth.
the white object is a foreground star
could be the result of a flyby ?
the whitish blobs are stars in our galaxy
that is a star in our galaxy
galaxy : smooth and round for me
again a fuzzy galaxy. Just try and answer the questions as well as you can.
a very fuzzy galaxy. 😃
the red in the center is probably just an optical artefact. The white blob at 2 is a foreground star from our galaxy
I'm thinking Hubble star. The blue blob is probably a optical artefact
It's caused by the glare of a star just outside of this picture
yes, definitely an asteroid in the lower right corner
no, that is one of the filters playing up. This is a star, btw.
I'd go for irregular for this one
no distortions. regular spiral for me
Its Mrk584, a Seyfert 1 galaxy. The core is very bright which accounts for the weird optical effects.
Great catch !
don't think so. Disturbed spiral for me
Yup !
could be a Hubble star
this is Mrk1068.
it's a star in our galaxy
yes, satellite trail
I'm thinking overlap
irregulars ?
The blob the bottom right corner is a star
a nice two-armed, barred spiral.
merger for me
it's a star
again, why are you calling this agn ?
looks like a spiral with a very bright center
looks like two galaxies overlapping
How do you know this is an AGN ?
something went wrong here. Star/artefact
It's a satellite trail
it's a satellite trail
We cannot see individual stars at those distances. The blue blobs are starforming regions
irregular galaxy
The odd option exists only for the SDSS pictures. It is not available for the Hubble pics. 😦
It's NGC 963 a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy.
The red thing is indeed a star
a red satellite trail !
the colourful object with the spikes is a star.
It's a #planetarynebula (PN G094.5-00.8)
the central object is actually a violent merger with lots of starforming going on and lots of dust swirling around.
nice #dustlane
It's an optical artefact caused by a star just outside of the image
the objects to the right and top right are stars
I'm thinking a merger of two galaxies with a foreground star.
Great pic !
With these kind of disturbance, I'm saying merger !!! 😉
with these kind of distortions, I'm thinking #merger
not a lens, but a lovely ringed galaxy !
My pleasure !
Happy Hunting !
not really, Looks more like a cluster of galaxies
the blue center is an optical artefact, just because it is so bright !
Because of the diffraction spikes I'm thinking Hubble star ! 😃
that is a star !
great hubble pic of a star !
Or, you could go for smooth - in between !
Just give it your best shot !
short time period ? not very likely, these are galaxies !
Disturbed galaxy !
No it isn't! But just give us the best you can. And if lots of people give different classifications, the scientists will take a 2nd look !
Looks like it is another galaxy. Foreground, background, it's anyone's guess without a redshift.
don't forget it's #barred 😃
How did you classify it ?
It's probably a foreground star
the object to the left of the center is a star
It's an optical artefact
definitely a weird one.
Since this is a Hubble pic, I'm not sure, but I'd tag it as #possible #lens
yup, definitely #merger
merger with at least one foreground star
the white circular blobs are stars !
Could be a star
disturbed galaxy for me. No lens flare, no lens
Yes, that would be my idea ! Foreground star.
I'm not sure if this is a dust lane. Looks more like an artefact. You can see it going on in the star on top
satellite trail !
with tis kind of distortion I'm thinking #merger
this is an optical artefact, caused by a nearby star
top one is a star. The blob at the bottom is a galaxy, but no way to tell if it is connected to the central one or very faint/faraway.
these look more like stars to me
nope, galaxy ! 😃
could be a foreground star.
but the two red arcs at 3 and 10 make me think #lens
the two objects to the right of the galaxy are stars
it's a satellite trail
these are stars
Totally right ! 😃
I'm thinking star (because of the spikes, obviously)
No spikes and very faint and a Hubble pic : very faint galaxy !
Please feel free to ask the scientists
don't know what you mean !
Ehrm, no !
just a bunch of stars ! sorry !
These are Hubble pics, so probably very far away galaxies
but very disturbed
What! I've looked at over 250.000 pics in GZ1. I know;This is amazing. This is a gorgeous disturbed spiral with lots of starforming areas !
with Hubble pics there is no way that we would be able to see a jet.This is most definitely another galaxy. How close or far away ? no idea
try and look it up : this is a #planetarynebula called : PN G201.9-04.6
gorgeous !
I'd go for irregular for this one, but that is just me ! 😉
great pic !
amazing #merger !
the clumps are starforming regions
Great pic !
with these kind of distortions : definitely #merger !
the bright objects are almost certainly stars. So no lens for me, sorry
I think the question was about the two main galaxies. I stand by my decision : future merger ! 😉
Still think they are stars. If you close, they are not really that symmetrical. The color is a bit of for one.
well, there is your 'typical' irregular ! 😉
Oh yes ! 😃
Don't think so.
With the distortion looks more like a possible merger in the future to me.
center of pic : very fuzzy ? tidal tails ?
And always remember : classify the object in the middle of the image !
Definitely ! lovely #merger
satellite trail ! 😉
loose two-armed barred spiral
a cluster of stars ! 😉
nice bar. disturbed spiral ?
the white/greenish blobs are stars. The galaxy looks like a tight armed spiral
top object is most likely a foreground star
with these kind of distortion, I'm thinking #merger
I'm thinking cosmic rays.
Very interested in the fuzzy arc at 8-9. possible #lens
very loose two armed spiral (with a little bar for Karen ! )
not too sure about the lens. But just in case ! 😉
a bunch of stars !
:-DD
some distortion, so merger for me. But the third 'galaxy', to the bottom left, is probably a star
Herbig Haro 264. They always look amazing !
Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro_object
just one spiral for me !
satellite trail !
the clmpy bits could be starforming regions
lovely #merger
Looks really cool. Sadly, it's a Hubble pic, no link to more info !
the three objects are probably stars !
the yellow ball at 5 is a foreground star.
As for the galaxy, could be a fuzzy spiral.
the middle one is a star. Don't think there is any lensing going on
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=58.64595015
Don't think so. Doesn't look like lensing to me
Certainly not.
Lensed galaxies show some sign of distortion.
Lenses also appear closer to the galaxy that is doing the lensing.
Since this is a Hubble pic, my guess is a very far away faint galaxy.
Now, that is a ring ! 😃
Most of the objects here are stars. Very difficult to find some lensing
et voila ! 😉
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=294.39715426&dec=36.03376484&scale=0.79224&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
most of the christmas balls 😉 are stars. No lens for me, sorry
elliptical for me
They're most probably stars
If you squint really hard (a very scientific method !) you can see very faint arms. So no, I don't think you are seeing things ! 😉
With so few pixels to on, it's pure guesswork.
It's a starforming region
The four objects around the central one are most probably stars. Sorry, no lensing
Just try the best you can.
Alternatively smooth - round is also an option.
Don't worry too much about it, lots of people will see these pics
I don't think the objects around the central galaxy are lensed. I do however see a very faint arc from 10 to 12 but it's a long shot.
possibly. Not much to go on here
satellite trail ! 😉
nice irregular with starforming regions
I hadn't heard from it either before I came to Galaxyzoo ! 😉
They are very beautiful !
it's an optical artefact caused by a star outside of the image.
star/artefact
Hi
this a Herbig Haro object not a galaxy. Here's the wiki link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro_object
most probably a star
that is another galaxy.
Could be an overlap or possibly merger
the red and the blue objects are probably stars (not exploding)
it's a #planetarynebula, called PN G129.5+04.5
the 'beady eyes' are probably foreground stars
this is probably a star
IC 1747 #planetarynebula
the blue blobs are starforming regions in this irregular
possibe #polarring ?
the yellow object with the colourful spikes is a star
Most of the objects here are probably stars
they're probably stars
It's a star.
if you go to SDSS and zoom out a bit you find lots of them in the neighborhood
yup, definitely #merger for me
I'm thinking irregular with some major starforming going on
maybe
I'm thinking you're overthinking things !
Probably some optical artefact
Oh yes ! definitely #merger
It's supposed to be an X-ray source. The pink blob is almost certainly an optical artefact.
Wow ! and look at that #dustlane !
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=17.66126162&dec=13.50791737&scale=1.584508&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
definitely #merger
Yup ! #merger
With these distortions, I'm thinking merger with lovely dustlanes !
there is no way to determine if these galaxies are connected with the central object or if they are really very far away !!
the white ones could be stars. No lensing for me, sorry
Don't know what it is, but artefact comes to mind ! 😉
I'd go for merger !
nope, just an ordinary star.
And, by the way, always classify the object in the center of the image
So, tell me again why we don't have a button for something odd with the Hubble pics ?
edge on with a rounded bulge ?
No !
This is definitely a galaxy.
Rather irregular with lots of starforming areas.
the object in the center is a galaxy. the one to the right is probably a star
some lovely imaging artefacs in a star
the red background and the dark line on top are both imaging artefacts.
that is a satellite trail
the blue/red/green object is an asteroid
It's a #planetarynebula with the stunning name PN G174.2-14.6
Great find
I'm thinking star
this is an irregular galaxy. The blue clumps are starforming areas
if you click on smooth, you don't have the options for bar or spiral.
Smooth means no features whatsoever.
there appears to be something in the center of the pic, but there is really not much to say about it.
irregular with starforming areas
definitely artefact
definitely artefacts ! 😃
the brown line is a #dustlane
these are stars with some imaging artefacts
This is where the imaging went berserk 😉
these are probably stars.
Looks cool !
I'm thinking star or stars close together.
When objects are very bright you get these overexposure effects
the blue/green object is an asteroid. Because they move fast they get caught by the different filters
Bright green blob is indeed a foreground star.
And because of the distortion in both of the galaxies I'm thinking #merger
Nice catch
The brown line is a lovely #dustlane
two galaxies.
Nice #overlap
I'm thinking two stars 😃
foreground star would be my idea too
The two objects to the right are probably stars.
No lensing for me
these are probably stars
Always classify the object in the middle of the pic.
The two bright objects with the colorful spikes are stars.
Star for me too !
nope, optical artefact
This is probably a star. The orange blob in the middle is an optical artefact
if the star is very bright you get these weird but very cool optical artefacts
Most of these are probably stars
the object in the top right corner is indeed a star
these are probably stars with some optical artefacts
it's a satellite trail. Sunlight is reflected off the satellite and because it moves fast it shows up only in one filter.
just optical effects.
It's not possible to directly see a planet around another star.
I'm thinking star with some optical effects
it's an irregular galaxy and the blue clumps are starforming areas
it's a very faint galaxy
Star for me too !
it's a very far away galaxy.
it's an optical artefact caused by a star just outside of this image.
Or, you found the edge of the universe ! 😉
It's an irregular galaxy. The blue clumps are starforming regions
Probably a star with a lovely optical artefact
the object in the top left corner is a star
It's probably a star. And the red is an optical effect.
Yup ! ( for me, anyway)
the orange blob is probably a foreground star
some serious interaction !
merger for me
I'd go for a very disturbed spiral
very unusual shape !
the two objects on the left are most likely foreground stars
the thing on the left of centre is indeed a star. The purple thingy is just an optical artifact
very weird satellite trail !
Nice catch
some really nice interaction here !
This is a satellite trail (sunlight reflecting of the satellite and caught by just one one of the filters)
Oh yes, very !
this is a satellite trail ! 😃
looks great though
Wow ! The edge of the universe ! 😉
So sorry. But this looks more like a star with a great big heap of optical effects.
But keep on hunting !
ET attacks ? 😉
My educated guess is a satellite trail !
You could go for a disturbed barred spiral and it would be perfect. Irregular is another perfect possibility
Oh yes
In this case, I'd just click star/artifact.
Great color though ! 😃
no jet;
I'm with Liz : tidal stream
Great catch !
If you mean the red one, that is probably a star
always classify the object in the middle of the image. But in this case that is really easier said than done. It's one of the faint blobbies
the red object is probably a star in our galaxy, so no connection to the galaxy
I'd go for barred too. But don't worry, lots of people will see these same images, so any little mistakes will disappear. 😉
the object at the bottom is probably a star
😄
the bright object is a star, but there seems to be a very faint galaxy in the middle of the image too.
these are most likely stars with some very cool imaging artefacts
it could be a foreground star
so, which button do we click for these ones ???
3.yes, there ar some galaxies that are blueshifted, but not many
satellite trail ! 😉
These are not galaxies, but stars
I see two stars with a very faint small galaxy between them
Always classify the one in the middle of the picture !
The one on the right is a star for me too
this is a very very far away galaxy, so that even Hubble can 't give us more than just a few pixels
Don't overthink it.
Some of these effects are optical artefacts.
there is no way to tell from this pic, sorry
Most probably = group of stars
star/artefact for me
It looks very artificial.
No idea what it is though
lovely merger
Sorry, I see lots an lots of stars.
Maybe some of the fainter ones are galaxies
Lots and lots of stars !
Happy hunting
according to SDSS the two right ones are stars and the left one is a galaxy !
But they all three look like stars to me. Anyway, no merger
nope, it's a star ! 😉
I checked it out on the SDSS site and the lower one appears to be a star.
Nope, just an overexposed star, sorry;
wow !
this image is so blurry and pixellated that you can't really tell a lot.
But the orange blobs are almost certainly not jets
the right one is so over bright it is almost certainly a star.
And after a while you'll get a feel for it too.
Don't worry ! Have fun
exclamation mark ! 😃
(galaxy and star)
merger : check ! 😃
It's a star and the strange thing is an optical artefact
the bright one is a star.
The 'dust' trail is one of the arms of the spiral (so, not a dust trail)
Probably ! 😃
Sigh !
I'm seeing a galaxy (left) and a star (right).
No merger, no dust lane, sorry
these are stars and if they really are close to each other is impossible to tell from this pic.
I'd go for a disturbed edge-on with a gorgeous dust lane
these are stars and the effects are optical artefacts
a very disturbed galaxy.
maybe one-armed
the blue would indicate starforming going on
squinting helps or maybe not ! 😉
Mostly stars and the greenish colour is indeed an optical artefact
Lots of starforming going on. Maybe post merger ?
Wow. What a beautiful galaxy !
I think most of the objects in this image are stars
this is just over exposure.Optical artifact
just a star in our galaxy
I think you've reached the end of the (SDSS) universe.
Sorry
that is a star.
The effect is from over exposure
merger for me.
And what a gorgeous dust lane !
looks like stars to me
funny face with long nose.
or an edge on with two stars.
or a satellite trail ? 😉
the green beam is a saellite trail;
the bright blob on the left is a star
I'm thinking star !
And you can leave any comments/questions that you like !
it's a satellite trail
it's probably a star in our galaxy
cosmic yin and yang
This is an optical effect from a star outside of this pic
that is a star in our galaxy
smooth - round - the end
Definitely a merger.
I don't see any sign of lensing though!
always classify the object in the center.
But agreed, it's not always easy.
nice star !
that is an optical effect
satellite trail !
ring of stars !
beautiful
that is a star in our galaxy
after you've clicked on the link, click on 'get image' on the left of the screen. The pic is turned 90°
It's a spike from a star outside this pic.
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=317.79935392&dec=4.39952855.
Always classify the object in the middle of the pic.
But you're right:this is a difficult one. With lots of stars I'd go for star/artifact
You found the end of the universe !
Or maybe the end of the SDSS field of view ! 😉
the blue cloud is an optical effect from a star
I'd go for smooth - round - merger
But hey, that's just me ! 😉
Some of the filters didn't co-operate on this one;
Nice star ! 😃
Looks like the software got confused by this very bright over exposed star.
Take cover ! We're under attack !
Or the more boring explanation it's a satellite trail
that psychedelic thing is a star with lots of optical effects !
Nice catch !
that is a star from our own galaxy !
They are probably stars in our galaxy who happen to be in the line of sight
Okay, you beat me there !
That makes so much more sense ! 😃))
lovely merger
barred spiral, disturbed.
As for how tightly wound the arms are and how many. That is up to you ! 😉
yup, good catch.
Yes !
Here it is :

yup, lot's of them around.
Don't really know how to classify these !
that is a star with some nice optical effects !
looks like two stars to me.
looks like the filters went wild !
I'm going for stars here.
Looks very cool though 😉
most of these objects are probably stars in our galaxy
looks like something went wrong with the filters.
ANd yes, I think these are all stars.
yes, it looks like the spike (optical effect) from a star just outside of the pic
The two white objects are stars in our galaxy, so no connection between them and the galaxy.
looks like an overexposed star
possible lens
I'm thinking star cluster too
definitely a spiral
Both the objects below are stars, so no interaction
I'm thinking star in our galaxy
satellite trail ! 😉
