Galaxy Zoo Talk
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colour as shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Looks like there's some interaction.
I take it you mean suns? If so, there's only one sun, the star of our solar system.
I'd go with foregroundstar.
That's not a green pee, sorry. It's an overexposed foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Those are three foregroundstars from our galaxy. Stars cannot lens anything as they have way too little mass.
Isn't it strange that if it actually is a lens, then it has the same colour as the blob at 8 o'clock, that is probably a foreground star.
A star indeed. But something went wrong with the image filters.
Lense don't look like that. I'd go with merger or overlap.
Looks like a starforming galaxy to me.
I'd go with spiral.
I'd go with Star/Artifact.
Definately not. Check the comments below.
No gamma ray. Just a foregroundstar from our galaxy with optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
That's not dust. It's an irregular galaxy.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Looks like an inner ring.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
I'd go with overlap.
There is a star just outside of this picture creating this artifact.
Actually it looks like a regular spiral to me with a foregroundstar near the bulge.
As there are also some foregroundstars visible, it's not the sun.
It's an optical artifact due to its brightness. And it looks more like an overlap to me.
As I see no disturbance, I'd go with overlap.
Lenses don't look like that at all, so I doubt it.
More like a foregroundstar.
This is a Hubble image. Such blobs are very common in those pictures. Could be stars or backgroundnoise.
Maybe a faint outer ring?
Could this be a green pea?
#satellitetrail.
More like an overlap in my opinion as I don't see a disturbance.
Or overlapping.
Check the comments below.
As noted before that is a satellitetrail but because the galaxy's bulge is brighter, the trail gets covered up.
Looks more like a disturbed galaxy to me with starforming regions.
I don't see any noticeable disturbance. More like a really loose spiral.
Again a Hubble picture probably. They're different then you're used to.
DR8 is for SDSS images as far as I know and this one looks like a Hubble picture. So obviously you have to search for it and it'll differ.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The weird colour and shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Well it is some kind of imaging issue.
That's a galaxy to the left.
Could be. No way too tell from the pictures we're served.
Boack holes are way too small to observe such interaction with light in these kind of pictures, so artifact.
Could be. Or a starforming region.
Possibly a polar ring? I'll post it on the Forum to see.
No reference about an AGN in NED but then again it could be.
Neither in my opinion. More like an overlap.
I think that, that's a foregroundstar as well.
Nope. That's actually an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the bulge.
An easy way to fin out if those are artifacts, check the stars. Youll notice that they have the same red features. Hence those are artifacts
How can you classify something as "gathered"? Do you mean merger?
A foregroundstar indeed. 😃
The orange one looks more like a foregroundstar to me.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. Something went really wrong while developing the image. So #artifact would be correct.
Doesn't look like a lens. Maybe a lenticular.
#star from our galaxy.
Disturbed spiral with star forming regions in my opinion.
And isn't a Cassini Division something regarding only Saturn (which of course is a planet)?
No lens here in my opinion. However that looks like a foregroundstar to me as well.
Actually those are foregroundstars from our galaxy so no merging possible.
Foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are optical artifacts. There could be a galaxy in the background.
#star.
#star
Actually, that's just a foregroundstar from our galaxy. the weird colours, shapes and diffraction spikes are optical artifacts. #star
Looks like a foregroundstar to me.
There are some spiral arms here so I don't think lenticular.
There's only one Milky Way.
No NED references. Most likely a regular ring.
How can you tell it's an AGN? It isn't mention in NED or SIMBAD and it doesn't look like one IMO.
Looks like an #edgeon spiral indeed.
Those are galaxies, possibly overlapping. Definately not stars.
How can something be too irregular to be a merger? It could be an overlap.
Those are starforming areas.
Those are diffraction spikes from a star just outside of this image.
Looks like an overlap to me.
I second that. 😃
Definately not a nebula, but two disturbed galaxies overlapping or merging.
It's a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Those are optical artifacts.
Those are optical artifacts and bachgroundnoise.
Actually you'd need pictures before, during and after the event and a spectrum.
That's actually a star from our galaxy. The weird colouts nad shapes you see are all optical artifacts.
That's a satellitetrail. The satellite passes in front of the lens and as it reflects the sunlight it gets caught in only one filter .
Those are definately galaxies.
That's a star indeed.
That's not a quasar. It's a very active galaxy with loads of starformation going on.
Merger with foregroundstar.
Merger? Looks like a disturbed spiral to me.
Those are actually foregroundstars from our galaxy so no possible merging between them.
Indeed #stars.
The bright sphere is a foregroundstar from our galaxy so there's no possible merging between them.
No lens, for me here.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy, not asteroids.
Those are not galaxies but foregroundstars from our galaxy.
The weird colours and shapes you're seein are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
PN? Looks like atypical spiral to me with some starformation.
Check the Science ---->
It's definately a spiral. Maybe a little bit disturbed but not irregular for sure.
Looks like starforming regions to me.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Poor quality image so it's difficult to tell for sure if it is a spiral or an elliptical.
Yes.
Check the science ---->
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts.
Check te Science ---->
#satellitetrail
That's definately a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The weird colours, shapes and diffraction spikes are all optical artifacts.
No those are galaxies.
#asteroid
I suppose you mean *#stars. 😛
Always classify the object in te middle though, in this case te spiral galaxy.
Well #spiral #dustlane #other would do it.
Those are two foregroundstars from our galaxies. From this picture we can't tell their relative distance but they're definately not merging.
Actually the galaxy in the centre isn't that "ordinary", the star at 7 o'clock on the other hand isn't that special. 😛
Neither is it a SN. This actually a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The weird colours, shapes and diffraction spikes are all artifacts.
Thr camera moved while taking this picture. #artifact
It's an artifact indeed.
Where do you see a sleeve?
More like stars from our galaxy overlapping with a galaxy.
The galaxy behind the upper star makes it look like the star has a tail. I don't think he really means it though.
It's a #satellitetrail.
No dust "clouds" here. A fuzzy galaxy and some stars.
Read the comments below for more info.
Those are two overlapping galaxies, not a dust cloud.
First of all that's not an SN. And isn't HOAGs object a colision type ring?
Nothing odd IMO. Some foregroundstars from our galaxy in a chance alignment.
Optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
It's a starformation region.
It's a star indeed.
Nice #starfield.
The red colours are optical artifacts.
No lenses here, just some foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Those are all optical artifacts and background noise .
It sure looks like an AGN. But where does it say that it's a Seyfert?
That's a galaxy.
That's looks like a foregroundstar. PNe look different.
Judging by the dustlane it's more likely to be a spiral.
No, that's a galaxy cluster. We can't see any planets is those SDSS pictures.
No, could be a pseudoring though.
Foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Those are stars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts.
Again no lensing. They're very rare.
No lensing, just optical artifacts.
Read the comments below.
The object to the right is a star.
Again most likely a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
More like a spiral galaxy.
Indeed. Those are stars from our galaxy.
Most likely a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Looks like a background galaxy to me.
Upside down face? Anyone??
Funny artifacts.
Read the comment below.
It isn't edge on. And I don't see anything surrounding it.
Most likely a star.
I would add #overlap as well.
Looks like a pseudoring.
Optical artifacts mostly.
No that's definately a star.
Well it's a galaxy, not just gas.
#starfield
One star and one galaxy. Stars are usually spherical as opposed to galaxies which are usually not.
OK thanks! 😃
Would we be able to see stars from Andromeda?
What's that at seven o'clock? Any ideas?
Exactly.
Check the comment below.
Those are stars, probably from our galaxy. Globular clusters don't look like that.
That's definately a galaxy, not a globular cluster.
This is a Satellitetrail. The satellite passes in front of the lens and as the sun reflects on it, it gets caught in only one filter.
#bar #spiral
#stars
As the satellite passes in front of the lens the sun reflects on it and it gets caught in only one filter due to its speed.
Actually that's an #artifact caused by a bright star just outside this picture.
Actually there is a very bright star just outside this image creating the colours and diffraction spike you see here.
There could be a dustlane but that's definately a galaxy, not a nebula.
Here on GZ stars appear in many "strange" ways as the pictures are set to optimize the look of a galaxy not a star. 😃
It's name is 2MASX J23414863+2643462
Looks more like an overlap to me. But then again I could be wrong.
Probably two galaxies merging.
No those are optical artifacts.
The dots are optical artifacts, not lenses.
Again no lens IMHO.
No lens here IMHO.
That's a #star. The colours are optical artifacts.
Most likely not stars indeed.
That's what I call a #star.
Something's up with this one.
Looks like a #lenticular to me.
I'd say that's an #AGN.
Another nice #elliptical.
I second that.
Possibly LSB?
Most likely not. (not enough mass)
Actually the blue sphere is a foregroundstar from our galaxy, so no possible gravitational interaction between those two.
Too bad, just a diffraction spike.
What's happening at about 6 o'clock?
Those are optical artifacts caused by imaging issues.
Could be an HH.
If you mean the dot in the centre, that's an optical artifact.
You call that a #dustlane. 😃
This is actually a star from our galaxy but something went wrong while applying filters, hence the colours and shapes you see are #artifacts
No. Those are all stars from our galaxy. So not enough mass to cause lensing whatsoever.
Those are actually stars from our galaxy, so no lensing possible.
Multiple imaging issues, hence #artifact
Looks more like a diffraction spike from the star which is justnoutside of this image.
Nice #elliptical.
merger or overlap?
There could be dust in the centre.
Don't see no lens here. (Hardly enough mass).
Looks like a normal star to me.(main sequence)
Almost edge on.
#edgeon #dustlane
Backfolded spiral arms forming a #pseudoring.
#elliptical
Strange coloured #merger.
Looks like a merger or a galaxy with a foregroundstar in a nebula.
And what a nice spiral it is.
Looks like a prominent bulge to me.
Hard to tell.
Yes. If it hasn't been posted in the forum already you should.
Or they could merge in the future.
Foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Indeed. #HH
That looks like an early galaxy. Maybe disturbed spiral?
Check the chat --->
Don't see no lens here.
Could be background noise.
An optical #artifact.
Foregroundstar probably from our galaxy.
#disturbed
#overlap
Seems possible.
Didn't anyone notice the #ring?
#edgeon
Where is the asteroid?
Collision course or overlap?
Almost #edgeon #dustlane
It's a satellitetrail. Indeed an artifact.
Like you said it's a star, probably from our galaxy. The colours and shapes you see are all artifatcs.
Nope it's a galaxy. Probably disturbed spiral with star fromation going on.
It's a #star. the colours and weird shapes are all artifacts.
Check the comments below and the science discussion.
Off centred bulge.
Pretty #star.
#cluster
10.000th SDSS image to classify. 😃
#artifact
#starforming #disturbed
Answered in the science.
They are artifacts though. (something went wrong with the image filters)
It's a foregroundstar from our galaxy overlaping with the galaxy.
Check the Science --->
It's a #star. The colours and weird shapes are all artifatcts.
Looks like an #elliptical with a #dustlane.
Looks like there's an #asteroid there.
Something obviously wrong here.
No, it means that' it's probably very active.
#s0 #lenticular
Could the grey object be a globular cluster? There is no data on NED or SIMBAD.
I think this one's green because it's in some sort of nebula. But the whole image is full of artifacts and weird... Any ideas?
Looks like a #ring.
The brighter white sphere is a foregroundstar. The other object is a galaxy, probably in the background.
Those are all stars from our galaxy. #starfield
Is it me or is there an asteroid to the left?
That's a satellite trail. #artifact
The colours are artificial, hence not real.
Nice starfield.
That's a galaxy. Could be a starforming one.
The "object" at 5 o'clock looks like an artifact.
#starforming
We can't see jets on those images, so I'd go with artifact.
Maybe a disturbed elliptical.
That's a star indeed. The colours are unreal, hence artifacts.
Foregroundstar.
Thanks! 😃
This picture might not be impressive but it is my 10.000th picture to classify. Might not be much but more than I expected to achieve. 😄
Galaxy with a SFR.
Check the science for the whole picture --->
They could be companions as there seems to be no interaction.
It isn't disturbed enough to be a merger do I'd go with overlap as well.
I don't see no arcs. If you mean the red dots, those are artifacts.
I'd say merger or overlap
This one really looks like an AGN or lensed quasar but there is no available data.
#IC_627
Yes that's a #star .
Where do you see the lens?
I don't think you can tell that just from this picture.
Looks like two backfolded spiral arms forming a pseudoring.
Indeed those are stars.
I don't think you can tell that just by looking at that picture? Did you check it out on Gallex?
The white blob is indeed a star but it's not beside it but in the foreground.
Have you checked their relative distance? Maybe they're not that close.
The white sphere is a foregroundstar from our galaxy. So no merging possible whatsoever between those two.
Those are indeed stars but this could be a chance alignment. I don't see a galaxy in this picture.
#ring
That's a star. The colours are artifacts, hence not real.
Just a galaxy.
#NGC_470 with a QSO North West of the bulge.
#IC_1401
Looks like a foregroundstar.
There is no gravitational lensing from stars. They have way too little mass. 😃
Could there be a polar ring?
Actually that's a #Seyfert1 galaxy so the brightness is probably due to the very active QSO in the middle.
Those are diffraction spikes due to the morphology of the SDSS camera. Google it for pictures and you'll notice why.
The white blob looks like a foregroundstar.
The red dot looks like a star to me.
That's a #galaxy and also an IrS. I don't think we can see planets in SDSS images.
The colours are just artifacts, so that's one star.
Indeed.
That's why I pointed it out. 😛
SkyServer problem it seems as it's classified there as a galaxy.
Galaxy.
Just a galaxy here.
That's a tag I didn't think I was gonna use. 😛 #EinsteinCross Also #lens
Can't be barred AND elliptical.
Those are stars which appear this way because the camera moved while taking the snapshot.
I'd say foregroundstar from our galaxy or artifact. Have you checked SkyServer for z?
Probably a foregroundstar, so no merging.
That's a foregroundstar.
Foregroundstar, so no possible merging.
I don't see no arcs. And according to NED and SIMBAD there is no SN either. Ring? Isn't it a cluster of galaxies, maybe a merger and stars?
That's a star.
Not according to SIMBAD.
If you mean the read fuzzy stuff, those are most likely artifacts.
Actually I think we're pretty sure they're not so close although there is no data available.
#star #artifact
No lens here.
Could be in the foreground or background though. Have you checked the z?
Nuclear Ring? #lenticular
Indeed, that's a foregroundstar.
That's just a really faint fuzzy galaxy. Judging by it's PhotoZ it's in the foregound.
#AGN
Most likely because it contains young stars.
Could be.
Well, no. Those are actually #stars from our galaxy.
Again, a #foregroundstar .
#foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Probably foregroundstar from our galaxy.
One armed spiral. The blue/pink is due to starformation probably from a merger.
No lensing, the ring is probably caused by backfolded spiral arms.
Looks like overlapping stars to me.
Although it is disturbed, there could be a polar ring.
Star or artifact.
At last found a lens. Actually a whole lot of them. 😃
#s0
#asteroid twelve o'clock.
Surely you mean galaxy. And that is a dustlane although there could be spiral arms.
That's a star, just outside the image.
Probably not. But you can't really tell from those pictures.
Where? Can't see neither.
Those are two stars from our galaxy. The colours and shapes you see are all artifacts.
Nice #star .
That's a star. The colours and diffraction spikes are all artifacts.
Always classify the central object. In this case it's a galaxy. Probably elliptic.
Check the science section to the right.
The white sphere is a star. S I they are most likely very far apart as the star is in our galaxy ( that's why it is so visible )
No. Those are definately #stars from our galaxy.
Looks like a satellite trail to me.
Why is this a lens candidate?
#artifact #star
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The shape colours and difraction spikes are not real but artifacts.
That's a star from our galaxy.
SkyServer says galaxy. Looks like a star to me though.
If you mean the dark spot on the middle of the bulge, that's an artifact.
Those are all stars from our galaxy.
That's a satellite trail. As the satellite passes in front of the lens the sun reflects on it and it gets caught in only one filter
Could be a late stage merger.
SkyServer says galaxy. PhotoZ is about 0.28 with an error margin of about 0.05. So it could be far away.
Big faint #ring
Can't really tell if there's dust here.
Don't see one. Where exactly?
Those star look almost identical IMHO. Probably a coincidence.
Looks like just a star to me.
That's a star from our galaxy. The colours are artifacts hence not real ( due to imaging issues ).
That's most likely no dust but backfolded spirals.
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=37.97501357&dec=25.76910866
If you check the whole image, then there's some merging going on. The red dots are stats (according to SkyServer).
#UGC_11875
Note the #asteroid at 5 o'clock.
That's a star. The colours are artifacts caused by imaging problems, hence not real.
Those are stars.
It's a satellite trail. The light from the sun reflects on it and due to its speed it get caughts in only one filter when passing by.
#artefact
Artifacts.
That's a star from our galaxy and the colours and spikes are indeed artifacts
That's a satellite trai. When the satellite passes in front of the lens, it only get's caught in one filter due to it's speed.
Again those are stars from our galaxy. No galaxies in this picture.
Actually those are stars from our galaxy. No galaxy in this picture.
The colours are artifacts. This is a star.
Satellite passing in front of it.
Don't see no merging and the other spheres are stars. There could be some starformation.
Those are all stars from our galaxy, so no colision or merging.
I don't think a satellite can be behind a galaxy. That's way too far away. It just appears like that.
Couldn't it be a HH? Because Orion_V Object noted in SIMBAD means that there is an Orion type variable star.
Stars indeed.
Another galaxy.
Looks like a #ring caused by backfolded spiral arms.
It's a starforming galaxy.
A #star from our galaxy. The colours and shapes are all artificial.
That is a #star . Something went wrong with the imaging filters.
Again no data to confirm possible LSB.
How do you know? Didn't find any NED or SIMBAD data to confirm it.
Looks like ionized gas from starformation
Looks distant but can't really tell without a z.
That's Definately not a dust cloud, but a galaxy. The blue dot could be a starformation area.
Foreground star.
Because that's a merger.
No voorwerp, no mergers either. Just two #stars from our galaxy.
Looks like a starformation area to me.
Could be... Or a foregroundstar... Hard to tell.
Star with artificial colours.
Where?
That's a star from our galaxy, so it can't be that close.
That's a #star . But something went wrong with the imaging filters, that's why it has those weird colours.
Now I've seen many comments claiming that galaxies are #globular_clusters whuch aren't. But this one is and there are no comments. #Bol_405
The red dots are stars so no gravitational pull. But the centre of the galaxy looks interesting. You should check it out on SkyServer or NED
That's just an artifact.
That's a galaxy and it looks like a pretty nice one.
Everything except the middle object.
If you mean the black dot, that's an artifact.
Check the previous comments.
Actually only the central object is a galaxy with the rest being stars.
Those are actually stars from our galaxy so no merging.
#spiral #dustlane
#merger
I don't see no dustlane... And you might wanna check the name you have for your collection 😛
Where? If you mean the darked line to the right, it looks like an artifact to me.
That's a #foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Looks like a merger to me.
The central object is a galaxy and the other spheres are foregroundstars from our galaxy.
That's a satellite trail.
The other two objects are stars so they haven't enough mass to attract objects from the galaxy.
There's probably a very active black hole in the centre, that's why it is so bright.
Neither NED nor SIMBAD identify a galaxy and instead a way off Infrared Source.
Where do you see a merger?
The image quality is poor.
No cluster, the spheres you see are all foregroundstars from our galaxy (except of course the bulge of the galaxy)
No but it's a nice #edgeon with a #dustlane and also there's an #overlap
Well it's fuzzy but it looks like a barred two or three armed spiral.
It is indeed a star and the colours are artifacts.
Doesn't look like it.
If anyone else wonders what the blue thing is, check the Science ---->
Yes that's a star.
Looks like a ring to me.
Nice three armed #spiral with a #bar
Actually I'm not really sure if they're merging.
The colours are indeed artifacts.
The blue blob is a star. Where do you see the lens?
That's what I call a ring.
Never done this but #speechless
Those are stars, the colours are not real, artifacts.
That's a satellite trail, hence an artifact.
Nope there is no lens.
The white sphere is a #foregroundstar so there can't be no possible merging.
That's a star with colours being artifacts.
Look like star forming region to me, with ionised gas. Have you checked it?
You mean the edge on one or the little sphere? In any case, both are indeed galaxies.
Looks like an elliptical to me. I you mean the redish "ring" around it, that's just an artifact, not real.
That's the whole image.
Probably an artifact.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=248.87937081&dec=0.04027934&scale=0.39612&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Definately a star from our galaxy.
I don't see no dustlane. Where?
Probably a galaxy in the background or a dwarf galaxy.
Looks like an overlap to me between two galaxies and a foregroundstar.
I you mean the orange blob, that's a foregroundstar from our galaxy, so there's no merging.
Now it appears to me that this spiral arm is due to the interaction with the smaller bottom galaxy along with the debris.
Those are artifacts. But it's a nice #edgeon
It is really neat.
Some are stars and some artifacts (the ones on the galaxy)
He might mean that they don't seem very interesting because the image quality isn't that good...
Looks like an artifact to me.
Indeed this is a star.
The two in the middle could be merging.
There's probably one ring but two? I don't know.
Always classify the central object, in this case theelliptical (probably) galaxy.
In the centre there's a galaxy.
Those are #foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Actually all those are stars from our galaxy.
The colours on the edge are artifacts.
It's kinda too round and regular to be something like that.
That's a #star from our galaxy. The colours are not real but artifacts.
Star forming indeed. But it's a galaxy not a nebula.
#dustlane
I wonder if the dot five o'clock is a foregroundstar or something else.
Looks like a triple #merger .
Well I dunno if there's a ring but the rest is right.
Like I said those are stars so there can't be no lensing (not enough mass) 😃
Well it's blue so there's starformation going on, so it probably isn't that old.
Those are #stars from our galaxy. The colours are not real, hence #artifacts .
No, those are definately stars from our galaxy, so no possible merging or lensing (stars are not nearly massive enought to lens).
This looks like a merger to me with the faint blue line bottom left being debris. But you can ask the science team to be sure.
No lensing but a beautiful #merger between two irregular galaxies.
Nice dustlane!
Really nice one.
Well, it has dust and there are also some star formation areas.
That's either a star or a small galaxy but then it's in the background so I wouldn't say it's affected. But you can check SyServer.
That's a star formation region.
The colour is probably an artifact.
It's a #star from our galaxy 😃
That's a #star . All the colours you see are not real, hence artifacts.
Again those boring weird ones...
Nice loose #spiral
Looks like a #merger to me.
Those are #stars from our galaxy.
Looks like tidal debris.
Those are star formation regions
Well if there's nothing I classify it as artifact.
It's a galaxy but there's definately starformation going on.
After thousands of classified pictures I know what it is 😛 😃 😄 Thanks for answering though!
Funny looking artifact 😃
That's interesting. Too bad that I'll have to check it tomorrow. I can say that it's a #merger possibly #voorwerp to the left and #artifact
That's a nice ring.
Right!
Again #artifact
That's a satellite trail, which is an #artifact
Although SkyServer syas otherwise those are probably a foreground and a background star
#spiral #KUG 0028-028
#KUG 0917+370
Obviously #AGN
Looks more like a star to me.
There's also an #asteroid in the picture.
Somewhere in here there's a #supernova
#KUG
You mean that the one edge is a little thinner than the other one?
If you mean the yellow blob South that's a foregrounstar. I don't see no disturbance.
That's a disturbed galaxy.
There could be one in the forground and one in the background.
A faint galaxy IMO
Cluster? If you mean the red discolouration, that's an #artifact from a bright star just outside the picture. The white dots are #stars
Look like stars to mel, although thre could be a faint galaxy in the background.
Those are stars possibly from our galaxy.
It's an irregular galaxy, probably emitting UV ligth and also possibly there's starformation going on.
It could be just one star though.
Actually those are #stars . Something went wrong with the image filters.
That's an #artifact due to camera problems.
Could be from a merger.
If you mean the black spot, it's not real, just an #artifact
#artifact Check the comments below.
SkyServer says galaxy, I say #star
#starformation
Could be backfolded spiral arms, but no ring.
Don't see no ring sorry
And we have an #asteroid Oh, and an #edgeon galaxy 😃
The blue thing right is a #star
The purple is a galaxy according to SkyServer and SIMBAD so there is probably no ionized gas (no spectrum either), so probably just merger
Looks like a galaxy in the background and a foregroundstar.
#foregroundstar
That is a #star . The colours are not real, hence #artifact caused by camera problems.
#spiral
A #forgroundstar . Check the science --->
It's a #star . The colours are #artifacts , hence not real, neither are the spikes.
Looks like a backfolded spiral, maybe due to some interaction.
#starformation area probably #bar and #spiral arms
#bar #spiral #asteroid
Backfolded #spirals
Maybe s0
#edgeon #overlap #dustlane
It's an #artifact . Check the Science --->
It's a #KUG galaxy ( 0202-027 )
#Markarian 1096
Don't see one. Where do you think it is?
Looks like an overlap to me. You could check the z though to be sure.
I don't see one sorry.
That's a #star . The colours and spikes are #artifacts
That's probably a #star
Looks like a galaxy with a foregroundstar to me.
That's actually one out of six of Seyferts original galaxies So #Seyfert

If anyone's wondering that's a galaxy and there's also an #asteroid bottom left
#star . The colours are artifact due to filter problems.
#G-pair
Sorry, no. Those are all #stars except the middle dot which is a galaxy in the background. Check the whole picture --->
Nope, just two galaxies. They could be interacting though.
That's just a #star The "emission line" you're seeing is in fact just a defraction spike from a bright star just outside this picture.
If you mean the two faint lines, those are artifacts probably #satellitetrail
It's just a #star . The colours are all artifacts, not real.
In the centre there's a galaxy though.
No one else noticed the two blue dots?
It has a spectrum, O2 and Ha to be specific, but no further info.
It's a galaxy. No spectrum and nothing on NED or SIMBAD... 1237668573618897416

Don't see any merging though (unless the fuzzy edge on galaxy is not in the background) But there is a foreground star.
Could be a foreground star
That's an #asteroid
I'd say galaxies in the backround.
What's up with the fuzzy stuff at the two edges of the galaxy?

Thanks for your time! Are you an astronomer? 😊
What's the difference?
Could it feature a ring?
Maybe not a galaxy or a really fuzzy one?
So it could be a new one but not for sure?
My bad, but how would a new one look like?
Beautiful new star
Thanks
Boomerang shaped?
Why is it green??
What could this be?
Lots of stars in different phases of their lives.
Exactly at the centre it appears to me that there is a darker stripe. Could be my mistake though.
Possible dust lane at the centre?
Looks like a UFO 😝
#edgeondisk
Could this be three three mergers?
Two merging galaxies.
Really liked this one!
Thanks 😊
Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new to this but could anyone tell me if those are stars or many many galaxies?
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colour as shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Looks like there's some interaction.
I take it you mean suns? If so, there's only one sun, the star of our solar system.
I'd go with foregroundstar.
That's not a green pee, sorry. It's an overexposed foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Those are three foregroundstars from our galaxy. Stars cannot lens anything as they have way too little mass.
Isn't it strange that if it actually is a lens, then it has the same colour as the blob at 8 o'clock, that is probably a foreground star.
A star indeed. But something went wrong with the image filters.
Lense don't look like that. I'd go with merger or overlap.
Looks like a starforming galaxy to me.
I'd go with spiral.
I'd go with Star/Artifact.
Definately not. Check the comments below.
No gamma ray. Just a foregroundstar from our galaxy with optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
That's not dust. It's an irregular galaxy.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Looks like an inner ring.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
I'd go with overlap.
There is a star just outside of this picture creating this artifact.
Actually it looks like a regular spiral to me with a foregroundstar near the bulge.
As there are also some foregroundstars visible, it's not the sun.
It's an optical artifact due to its brightness. And it looks more like an overlap to me.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
As I see no disturbance, I'd go with overlap.
Lenses don't look like that at all, so I doubt it.
More like a foregroundstar.
This is a Hubble image. Such blobs are very common in those pictures. Could be stars or backgroundnoise.
Maybe a faint outer ring?
Could this be a green pea?
#satellitetrail.
More like an overlap in my opinion as I don't see a disturbance.
Or overlapping.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Check the comments below.
As noted before that is a satellitetrail but because the galaxy's bulge is brighter, the trail gets covered up.
Looks more like a disturbed galaxy to me with starforming regions.
I don't see any noticeable disturbance. More like a really loose spiral.
Again a Hubble picture probably. They're different then you're used to.
DR8 is for SDSS images as far as I know and this one looks like a Hubble picture. So obviously you have to search for it and it'll differ.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The weird colour and shapes you see are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
Well it is some kind of imaging issue.
That's a galaxy to the left.
Could be. No way too tell from the pictures we're served.
Boack holes are way too small to observe such interaction with light in these kind of pictures, so artifact.
Could be. Or a starforming region.
Possibly a polar ring? I'll post it on the Forum to see.
No reference about an AGN in NED but then again it could be.
Neither in my opinion. More like an overlap.
I think that, that's a foregroundstar as well.
Nope. That's actually an optical artifact caused by the brightness of the bulge.
An easy way to fin out if those are artifacts, check the stars. Youll notice that they have the same red features. Hence those are artifacts
How can you classify something as "gathered"? Do you mean merger?
A foregroundstar indeed. 😃
The orange one looks more like a foregroundstar to me.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. Something went really wrong while developing the image. So #artifact would be correct.
Doesn't look like a lens. Maybe a lenticular.
#star from our galaxy.
Disturbed spiral with star forming regions in my opinion.
And isn't a Cassini Division something regarding only Saturn (which of course is a planet)?
No lens here in my opinion. However that looks like a foregroundstar to me as well.
Actually those are foregroundstars from our galaxy so no merging possible.
Check the comments below.
Foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are optical artifacts. There could be a galaxy in the background.
#star.
#star
Actually, that's just a foregroundstar from our galaxy. the weird colours, shapes and diffraction spikes are optical artifacts. #star
Looks like a foregroundstar to me.
There are some spiral arms here so I don't think lenticular.
There's only one Milky Way.
No NED references. Most likely a regular ring.
How can you tell it's an AGN? It isn't mention in NED or SIMBAD and it doesn't look like one IMO.
Looks like an #edgeon spiral indeed.
Those are galaxies, possibly overlapping. Definately not stars.
Check the comments below.
How can something be too irregular to be a merger? It could be an overlap.
Those are starforming areas.
Those are diffraction spikes from a star just outside of this image.
Looks like an overlap to me.
I second that. 😃
Definately not a nebula, but two disturbed galaxies overlapping or merging.
It's a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Those are optical artifacts.
Those are optical artifacts and bachgroundnoise.
Actually you'd need pictures before, during and after the event and a spectrum.
That's actually a star from our galaxy. The weird colouts nad shapes you see are all optical artifacts.
#satellitetrail.
That's a satellitetrail. The satellite passes in front of the lens and as it reflects the sunlight it gets caught in only one filter .
Those are definately galaxies.
That's a star indeed.
That's not a quasar. It's a very active galaxy with loads of starformation going on.
Merger with foregroundstar.
Merger? Looks like a disturbed spiral to me.
Those are actually foregroundstars from our galaxy so no possible merging between them.
Indeed #stars.
The bright sphere is a foregroundstar from our galaxy so there's no possible merging between them.
No lens, for me here.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy, not asteroids.
Those are not galaxies but foregroundstars from our galaxy.
The weird colours and shapes you're seein are all optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
PN? Looks like atypical spiral to me with some starformation.
Check the Science ---->
It's definately a spiral. Maybe a little bit disturbed but not irregular for sure.
Looks like starforming regions to me.
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Poor quality image so it's difficult to tell for sure if it is a spiral or an elliptical.
Yes.
Check the science ---->
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts.

#satellitetrail
That's definately a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
That's a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The weird colours, shapes and diffraction spikes are all optical artifacts.
No those are galaxies.
#asteroid
I suppose you mean *#stars. 😛
Always classify the object in te middle though, in this case te spiral galaxy.
Well #spiral #dustlane #other would do it.
Those are two foregroundstars from our galaxies. From this picture we can't tell their relative distance but they're definately not merging.
Check the science ---->
Actually the galaxy in the centre isn't that "ordinary", the star at 7 o'clock on the other hand isn't that special. 😛
Neither is it a SN. This actually a foregroundstar from our galaxy. The weird colours, shapes and diffraction spikes are all artifacts.
Thr camera moved while taking this picture. #artifact
It's an artifact indeed.
I'd go with overlap.
Where do you see a sleeve?
More like stars from our galaxy overlapping with a galaxy.
The galaxy behind the upper star makes it look like the star has a tail. I don't think he really means it though.
It's a #satellitetrail.
More like a foregroundstar.
No dust "clouds" here. A fuzzy galaxy and some stars.
Read the comments below for more info.
Those are two overlapping galaxies, not a dust cloud.
#star
First of all that's not an SN. And isn't HOAGs object a colision type ring?
Those are foregroundstars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts.
Nothing odd IMO. Some foregroundstars from our galaxy in a chance alignment.
Yes.
Optical artifacts due to imaging issues.
It's a starformation region.
It's a star indeed.
Nice #starfield.
The red colours are optical artifacts.
No lenses here, just some foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Those are all optical artifacts and background noise .
It sure looks like an AGN. But where does it say that it's a Seyfert?
That's a galaxy.
That's looks like a foregroundstar. PNe look different.
Judging by the dustlane it's more likely to be a spiral.
No, that's a galaxy cluster. We can't see any planets is those SDSS pictures.
It's a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
No, could be a pseudoring though.
Foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Those are stars from our galaxy. The weird colours and shapes you see are all optical artifacts.
Again no lensing. They're very rare.
No lensing, just optical artifacts.
Read the comments below.
The object to the right is a star.
Again most likely a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
More like a spiral galaxy.
Indeed. Those are stars from our galaxy.
Most likely a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Looks like a background galaxy to me.
Upside down face? Anyone??
Funny artifacts.
Read the comment below.
It isn't edge on. And I don't see anything surrounding it.
Most likely a star.
I would add #overlap as well.
#asteroid
Looks like a pseudoring.
Optical artifacts mostly.
No that's definately a star.
Well it's a galaxy, not just gas.
#starfield
One star and one galaxy. Stars are usually spherical as opposed to galaxies which are usually not.
Check the Science ---->
OK thanks! 😃
Would we be able to see stars from Andromeda?
What's that at seven o'clock? Any ideas?
Exactly.
Check the comment below.
Those are stars, probably from our galaxy. Globular clusters don't look like that.
That's definately a galaxy, not a globular cluster.
This is a Satellitetrail. The satellite passes in front of the lens and as the sun reflects on it, it gets caught in only one filter.
#bar #spiral
#stars
As the satellite passes in front of the lens the sun reflects on it and it gets caught in only one filter due to its speed.
Actually that's an #artifact caused by a bright star just outside this picture.
Actually there is a very bright star just outside this image creating the colours and diffraction spike you see here.
There could be a dustlane but that's definately a galaxy, not a nebula.
Here on GZ stars appear in many "strange" ways as the pictures are set to optimize the look of a galaxy not a star. 😃
Check the comments below.
It's name is 2MASX J23414863+2643462
Looks more like an overlap to me. But then again I could be wrong.
Check the comments below.
Probably two galaxies merging.
No those are optical artifacts.
The dots are optical artifacts, not lenses.
Those are optical artifacts.
Again no lens IMHO.
No lens here IMHO.
That's a #star. The colours are optical artifacts.
Most likely not stars indeed.
That's what I call a #star.
Something's up with this one.
Looks like a #lenticular to me.
I'd say that's an #AGN.
Another nice #elliptical.
I second that.
Possibly LSB?
Most likely not. (not enough mass)
Those are optical artifacts.
Actually the blue sphere is a foregroundstar from our galaxy, so no possible gravitational interaction between those two.
Looks like an overlap to me.
Too bad, just a diffraction spike.
What's happening at about 6 o'clock?
Those are optical artifacts caused by imaging issues.
Could be an HH.
If you mean the dot in the centre, that's an optical artifact.
You call that a #dustlane. 😃
This is actually a star from our galaxy but something went wrong while applying filters, hence the colours and shapes you see are #artifacts
No. Those are all stars from our galaxy. So not enough mass to cause lensing whatsoever.
Those are actually stars from our galaxy, so no lensing possible.
Multiple imaging issues, hence #artifact
Read the comments below.
Looks more like a diffraction spike from the star which is justnoutside of this image.
Nice #elliptical.

Looks like a prominent bulge to me.
Hard to tell.
Yes. If it hasn't been posted in the forum already you should.
Or they could merge in the future.
Foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Indeed. #HH
That looks like an early galaxy. Maybe disturbed spiral?

Could the grey object be a globular cluster? There is no data on NED or SIMBAD.
I think this one's green because it's in some sort of nebula. But the whole image is full of artifacts and weird... Any ideas?

That's a galaxy. Could be a starforming one.
The "object" at 5 o'clock looks like an artifact.
#star
#starforming
We can't see jets on those images, so I'd go with artifact.
Maybe a disturbed elliptical.
That's a star indeed. The colours are unreal, hence artifacts.
Foregroundstar.
Thanks! 😃
This picture might not be impressive but it is my 10.000th picture to classify. Might not be much but more than I expected to achieve. 😄
Galaxy with a SFR.
Check the science for the whole picture --->
They could be companions as there seems to be no interaction.
It isn't disturbed enough to be a merger do I'd go with overlap as well.
I don't see no arcs. If you mean the red dots, those are artifacts.
I'd say merger or overlap
This one really looks like an AGN or lensed quasar but there is no available data.
#IC_627
Yes that's a #star .
#artifact
Where do you see the lens?
Yes.
I don't think you can tell that just from this picture.
Looks like two backfolded spiral arms forming a pseudoring.
Indeed those are stars.
I don't think you can tell that just by looking at that picture? Did you check it out on Gallex?
The white blob is indeed a star but it's not beside it but in the foreground.
Looks like a foregroundstar to me.
Have you checked their relative distance? Maybe they're not that close.
#satellitetrail
The white sphere is a foregroundstar from our galaxy. So no merging possible whatsoever between those two.
Those are indeed stars but this could be a chance alignment. I don't see a galaxy in this picture.
#ring
#star
That's a star. The colours are artifacts, hence not real.
Just a galaxy.
#NGC_470 with a QSO North West of the bulge.
#IC_1401
Looks like a foregroundstar.
There is no gravitational lensing from stars. They have way too little mass. 😃
Could there be a polar ring?
#cluster
#edgeon
Actually that's a #Seyfert1 galaxy so the brightness is probably due to the very active QSO in the middle.
Those are diffraction spikes due to the morphology of the SDSS camera. Google it for pictures and you'll notice why.
#starfield
The white blob looks like a foregroundstar.
The red dot looks like a star to me.
That's a #galaxy and also an IrS. I don't think we can see planets in SDSS images.
The colours are just artifacts, so that's one star.
Indeed.
Check the comments below.
That's why I pointed it out. 😛
SkyServer problem it seems as it's classified there as a galaxy.
Galaxy.
Just a galaxy here.
Galaxy.
That's a tag I didn't think I was gonna use. 😛
#EinsteinCross
Also #lens
Can't be barred AND elliptical.
Those are stars which appear this way because the camera moved while taking the snapshot.
I'd say foregroundstar from our galaxy or artifact. Have you checked SkyServer for z?
Probably a foregroundstar, so no merging.
That's a foregroundstar.
Foregroundstar, so no possible merging.
I don't see no arcs. And according to NED and SIMBAD there is no SN either. Ring? Isn't it a cluster of galaxies, maybe a merger and stars?
That's a star.
Not according to SIMBAD.
Not according to SIMBAD.
If you mean the read fuzzy stuff, those are most likely artifacts.
Actually I think we're pretty sure they're not so close although there is no data available.
Where is the asteroid?
#star #artifact
No lens here.
Could be in the foreground or background though. Have you checked the z?
Nuclear Ring? #lenticular
Indeed, that's a foregroundstar.
That's just a really faint fuzzy galaxy. Judging by it's PhotoZ it's in the foregound.
#stars
#AGN
Most likely because it contains young stars.
Could be.
Well, no. Those are actually #stars from our galaxy.
Again, a #foregroundstar .
#foregroundstar from our galaxy.
#foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Probably foregroundstar from our galaxy.
One armed spiral. The blue/pink is due to starformation probably from a merger.
No lensing, the ring is probably caused by backfolded spiral arms.
Looks like overlapping stars to me.
Although it is disturbed, there could be a polar ring.
Star or artifact.
At last found a lens. Actually a whole lot of them. 😃
#s0
#asteroid twelve o'clock.
Surely you mean galaxy. And that is a dustlane although there could be spiral arms.
That's a star, just outside the image.
Probably not. But you can't really tell from those pictures.
#cluster
Where? Can't see neither.
Those are two stars from our galaxy. The colours and shapes you see are all artifacts.
Nice #star .
That's a star. The colours and diffraction spikes are all artifacts.

Always classify the central object. In this case it's a galaxy. Probably elliptic.
Indeed.
Check the science section to the right.
The white sphere is a star. S I they are most likely very far apart as the star is in our galaxy ( that's why it is so visible )

SkyServer says galaxy. Looks like a star to me though.
If you mean the dark spot on the middle of the bulge, that's an artifact.
Those are all stars from our galaxy.
That's a satellite trail. As the satellite passes in front of the lens the sun reflects on it and it gets caught in only one filter
Could be a late stage merger.
SkyServer says galaxy. PhotoZ is about 0.28 with an error margin of about 0.05. So it could be far away.
Big faint #ring
#starfield
Can't really tell if there's dust here.
Don't see one. Where exactly?
Those star look almost identical IMHO. Probably a coincidence.
Looks like just a star to me.
That's a star from our galaxy. The colours are artifacts hence not real ( due to imaging issues ).
That's most likely no dust but backfolded spirals.
http://skyserver.sdss3.org/dr8/en/tools/chart/chart.asp?ra=37.97501357&dec=25.76910866
If you check the whole image, then there's some merging going on. The red dots are stats (according to SkyServer).
#elliptical
#UGC_11875
Note the #asteroid at 5 o'clock.
That's a star. The colours are artifacts caused by imaging problems, hence not real.
Those are stars.
It's a satellite trail. The light from the sun reflects on it and due to its speed it get caughts in only one filter when passing by.
#artefact
Artifacts.
That's a star from our galaxy and the colours and spikes are indeed artifacts
That's a satellite trai. When the satellite passes in front of the lens, it only get's caught in one filter due to it's speed.
Again those are stars from our galaxy. No galaxies in this picture.
Actually those are stars from our galaxy. No galaxy in this picture.
The colours are artifacts. This is a star.
Satellite passing in front of it.
Don't see no merging and the other spheres are stars. There could be some starformation.
Those are all stars from our galaxy, so no colision or merging.
I don't think a satellite can be behind a galaxy. That's way too far away. It just appears like that.
Couldn't it be a HH? Because Orion_V Object noted in SIMBAD means that there is an Orion type variable star.
Stars indeed.
Another galaxy.
Looks like a #ring caused by backfolded spiral arms.
It's a starforming galaxy.
#starfield
A #star from our galaxy. The colours and shapes are all artificial.
That is a #star . Something went wrong with the imaging filters.
Again no data to confirm possible LSB.
How do you know? Didn't find any NED or SIMBAD data to confirm it.
Looks like ionized gas from starformation
Looks distant but can't really tell without a z.
That's Definately not a dust cloud, but a galaxy. The blue dot could be a starformation area.
That's a galaxy.
Foreground star.
Because that's a merger.
No voorwerp, no mergers either. Just two #stars from our galaxy.
Looks like a starformation area to me.
Yes.
Could be... Or a foregroundstar... Hard to tell.
Indeed.
Star with artificial colours.
Where?
That's a star from our galaxy, so it can't be that close.
That's a #star . But something went wrong with the imaging filters, that's why it has those weird colours.
Now I've seen many comments claiming that galaxies are #globular_clusters whuch aren't. But this one is and there are no comments. #Bol_405
Those are all stars from our galaxy.
The red dots are stars so no gravitational pull. But the centre of the galaxy looks interesting. You should check it out on SkyServer or NED
That's just an artifact.
That's a galaxy and it looks like a pretty nice one.
Everything except the middle object.
If you mean the black dot, that's an artifact.
Check the previous comments.
Actually only the central object is a galaxy with the rest being stars.
Those are actually stars from our galaxy so no merging.
#spiral #dustlane
#merger
I don't see no dustlane... And you might wanna check the name you have for your collection 😛
Where? If you mean the darked line to the right, it looks like an artifact to me.
That's a #foregroundstar from our galaxy.
Looks like a merger to me.
The central object is a galaxy and the other spheres are foregroundstars from our galaxy.
That's a satellite trail.
The other two objects are stars so they haven't enough mass to attract objects from the galaxy.
There's probably a very active black hole in the centre, that's why it is so bright.
#star
#asteroid
Neither NED nor SIMBAD identify a galaxy and instead a way off Infrared Source.
Where do you see a merger?
The image quality is poor.
No cluster, the spheres you see are all foregroundstars from our galaxy (except of course the bulge of the galaxy)
No but it's a nice #edgeon with a #dustlane and also there's an #overlap
Well it's fuzzy but it looks like a barred two or three armed spiral.
It is indeed a star and the colours are artifacts.
Doesn't look like it.
If anyone else wonders what the blue thing is, check the Science ---->
Yes that's a star.
Looks like a ring to me.
Nice three armed #spiral with a #bar
Actually I'm not really sure if they're merging.
The colours are indeed artifacts.
The blue blob is a star. Where do you see the lens?
#starforming
That's what I call a ring.
Never done this but #speechless
Those are stars, the colours are not real, artifacts.
That's just an artifact.
That's a satellite trail, hence an artifact.
Nope there is no lens.
The white sphere is a #foregroundstar so there can't be no possible merging.
#edgeon
That's a star with colours being artifacts.
Look like star forming region to me, with ionised gas. Have you checked it?
You mean the edge on one or the little sphere? In any case, both are indeed galaxies.
Looks like an elliptical to me. I you mean the redish "ring" around it, that's just an artifact, not real.
Check the science ---->
That's the whole image.
Probably an artifact.
http://skyservice.pha.jhu.edu/DR8/ImgCutout/getjpeg.aspx?ra=248.87937081&dec=0.04027934&scale=0.39612&width=512&height=512&opt=&query=
Definately a star from our galaxy.
I don't see no dustlane. Where?
Probably a galaxy in the background or a dwarf galaxy.
Looks like an overlap to me between two galaxies and a foregroundstar.
I you mean the orange blob, that's a foregroundstar from our galaxy, so there's no merging.
Now it appears to me that this spiral arm is due to the interaction with the smaller bottom galaxy along with the debris.
Those are artifacts. But it's a nice #edgeon
It is really neat.
Some are stars and some artifacts (the ones on the galaxy)
#edgeon
He might mean that they don't seem very interesting because the image quality isn't that good...
Looks like an artifact to me.
Indeed this is a star.
That's definately a foregroundstar from our galaxy.
The two in the middle could be merging.
Looks like an overlap to me.
There's probably one ring but two? I don't know.
Always classify the central object, in this case theelliptical (probably) galaxy.
In the centre there's a galaxy.
That's just an artifact.
Those are #foregroundstars from our galaxy.
Actually all those are stars from our galaxy.
The colours on the edge are artifacts.
It's kinda too round and regular to be something like that.
That's a #star from our galaxy. The colours are not real but artifacts.
Star forming indeed. But it's a galaxy not a nebula.
#dustlane
I wonder if the dot five o'clock is a foregroundstar or something else.
Looks like a triple #merger .
Well I dunno if there's a ring but the rest is right.
Like I said those are stars so there can't be no lensing (not enough mass) 😃
Well it's blue so there's starformation going on, so it probably isn't that old.
#starfield
Those are #stars from our galaxy. The colours are not real, hence #artifacts .
No, those are definately stars from our galaxy, so no possible merging or lensing (stars are not nearly massive enought to lens).
Could be a late stage merger.
This looks like a merger to me with the faint blue line bottom left being debris. But you can ask the science team to be sure.
No lensing but a beautiful #merger between two irregular galaxies.
#edgeon #dustlane
Could be.
Nice dustlane!
Really nice one.
#asteroid
Indeed.
Well, it has dust and there are also some star formation areas.
#star
That's either a star or a small galaxy but then it's in the background so I wouldn't say it's affected. But you can check SyServer.
That's a star formation region.
The colour is probably an artifact.
It's a #star from our galaxy 😃
That's a #star . All the colours you see are not real, hence artifacts.
Again those boring weird ones...
Nice loose #spiral
Looks like a #merger to me.
Indeed.
#starfield
#edgeon
Those are #stars from our galaxy.
Looks like tidal debris.
Those are star formation regions
Well if there's nothing I classify it as artifact.
It's a galaxy but there's definately starformation going on.
After thousands of classified pictures I know what it is 😛 😃 😄 Thanks for answering though!
Funny looking artifact 😃
That's interesting. Too bad that I'll have to check it tomorrow. I can say that it's a #merger possibly #voorwerp to the left and #artifact
That's a nice ring.
#starfield
Right!
Again #artifact
That's a satellite trail, which is an #artifact
Although SkyServer syas otherwise those are probably a foreground and a background star

Somewhere in here there's a #supernova
#KUG
#bar #spiral
Where?
#edgeon #dustlane
You mean that the one edge is a little thinner than the other one?
If you mean the yellow blob South that's a foregrounstar. I don't see no disturbance.
That's a disturbed galaxy.
There could be one in the forground and one in the background.
#stars
A faint galaxy IMO
Cluster? If you mean the red discolouration, that's an #artifact from a bright star just outside the picture. The white dots are #stars
Look like stars to mel, although thre could be a faint galaxy in the background.
Check the comments below.
Those are stars possibly from our galaxy.
It's an irregular galaxy, probably emitting UV ligth and also possibly there's starformation going on.
It could be just one star though.
Actually those are #stars . Something went wrong with the image filters.
#stars
That's an #artifact due to camera problems.
Could be from a merger.
If you mean the black spot, it's not real, just an #artifact
#artifact Check the comments below.
SkyServer says galaxy, I say #star

Could be backfolded spiral arms, but no ring.
Don't see no ring sorry
And we have an #asteroid
Oh, and an #edgeon galaxy 😃
The blue thing right is a #star
The purple is a galaxy according to SkyServer and SIMBAD so there is probably no ionized gas (no spectrum either), so probably just merger
Looks like a galaxy in the background and a foregroundstar.
#foregroundstar

That is a #star . The colours are not real, hence #artifact caused by camera problems.
#edgeon

That's probably a #star
Looks like a galaxy with a foregroundstar to me.
#edgeon #dustlane

Nope, just two galaxies. They could be interacting though.
That's just a #star The "emission line" you're seeing is in fact just a defraction spike from a bright star just outside this picture.
If you mean the two faint lines, those are artifacts probably #satellitetrail
It's just a #star . The colours are all artifacts, not real.
In the centre there's a galaxy though.
No one else noticed the two blue dots?
It has a spectrum, O2 and Ha to be specific, but no further info.
It's a galaxy. No spectrum and nothing on NED or SIMBAD...

Thanks for your time! Are you an astronomer? 😊
What's the difference?
Could it feature a ring?
Maybe not a galaxy or a really fuzzy one?
So it could be a new one but not for sure?
My bad, but how would a new one look like?
Beautiful new star
Thanks
Boomerang shaped?
Why is it green??

Lots of stars in different phases of their lives.
Exactly at the centre it appears to me that there is a darker stripe. Could be my mistake though.
