#ring
spiral arm or tidal stream?
Is the blue spot a foreground object?
Is the object to the left associated with the target galaxy?
faint #dustlane
#disturbed #edge-on ?
Blue dots look like starforming regions. Merger that didn't distort?
Some distortion and starburst regions.
Big #bar, faint spiral arms
Looks like some active zones at 2 and 3 o'clock
Disk looks disconnected from central bulge
#barred spiral. #meteor in the lower right
#disturbed and maybe a #ring?
Either a #ring or the tightest 2-armed #spiral I've seen.
#disturbed #spiral
lovely little 2-armed spiral
Is this really irregular or are the spiral arms too faint to see?
#disturbed
Suggestion of a #ring
Lovely spiral - the faint areas at 2, 4 and 9 o'clock and asymmetry all suggest #disturbed or #merger
Spiral arms tending toward a #ring.
Lovely #barred #spiral
#edgeon #boxy
The feature at top could be an #overlap butblue/purple spots on right and the lower right look very #disturbed. So #merger seems likely.
Edge-on with #dustlane, but also #disturbed and probable #merger with smaller galaxy to the left.
Agree w/Terrance.
Looks like a #merger in the later stage.
Not sure what's going on here. #Spiral or #irregular about to consume a smaller irregular?
From the #disturbed look of the larger, I'm thinking #merger. The larger almost looks #irregular.
Is this a well-known NGC galaxy?
Nice #dustlane in this edge-on.
I also said #ring. Overall looks elliptical, but blue is usually young stars - last stage of a merger?
Sexy spiral with bar.
Unusual to get a clear image from the Hubble set.
Faint #dustlane at lower right. #bar with bulge and a couple of bumps esp. vivid in inverse image.
The faint halo is unusual, esp. the smearing of the red at the top? #arc? Unlikely, but so is a bright red region at the edge of the halo.
Lovely #bar on this spiral
The big halo around this one makes me think it's #disturbed and possibly a #merger with the disk to lower left.
Can't tell what's going on with this one. Long faint tail is like Tadpole UGC 10214 or Mice NGC 4676. Anyone?
Came around again - now I think it's just tilted with the front edge higher.
Blue is usually young stars. Looks like an active star forming area. Recent merger?
#clumpy #irregular
Looks more like an overlap. The edge-on is background to the foreground galaxy.
blue, #lumpy SDSS object
#disturbed spiral - not irregular, I don't think. It would be nice to see if the zoom out shows a candidate for the disturbance.
#edge-on with #dustlane but also #disturbed and possible #merger
Sweet 2-armed spiral.
#dustlane not sure if features on upper right and lower left are connected or background.
#dustlane and, I think #disturbed. The dust is offset from center of the disk edge.
I see it as a single ring with two spiral arms outside.
Beautiful #barred spiral
Ah, also in the Zoo as AGZ0004xdx. And UGC 774b is tagged as AGZ0004XDY
Spectacular #merger. Long #tidalstreams
just another beautiful charismatic spiral.
Beautiful #ring
Not often you see a definite 3-armed spiral.
Amazing arms on this spiral. The top arc seems to originate with the left-hand spiral arm!
That large loose "arm" on the right makes me think this is #disturbed, although the shape is #irregular
#asteroid
Interesting #ring variant.
I know it's just an artifact, but it looks like an aurora.
Beautiful multi-armed spiral.
Might be an artifact of the faint image, but it looks like one spiral arm wrapped all the way around the nucleus.
Looks like a big ol' #asteroid getting in the way.
What's going on here? Seems too regular to be a late merger, but why two bright regions?
From the positioning, I wonder if there's a background galaxy we're supposed to classify. But the big one sure is pretty!
Damn, I love these detailed spirals.
Possibly a #disturbed spiral rather than irregular. Recent encounter w/small disk?
Could the near-vertical line be a #dustlane? Or possibly a #polar #ring?
Wow. Beautiful #spiral, nearly perfect symmetry, two arms wrapping 360+ degrees
Interesting shape #disturbed
#disturbed. It's as if part of the right-hand spiral arm decided to wander off on its own.
#disturbed possible #merger
Could the 'tail' on the lower right be a #jet? There's no matching feature to the upper left, but the shape is suggestive.
A disk that has been #disturbed, becoming elliptical?
Odd looking #dustlane in this one.
Can't tell what's going on with this one. Those really don't look like spiral arms. Any ideas?
#edge-on with #dustlane
Yep, #ring
Nice #ring
Odd. Some structure around the central bulge, but not really a bar or spiral. Can anyone tell what's going on?
I would love to see more detail of this set. #merger of two ellipticals? with what seem to be 2 nearby spirals.
Very nice #bar #spiral The arms wrap almost 360 degrees.
Can't tell just what's going on here. #disturbed or #merger I think.
Another #disturbed, with offset central bulge and one arm
#disturbed. Maybe a #merger?
#disturbed The main disk seems to be a tight 2-arm #spiral with #bar but the long "tail" points suggestively at the top
#disturbed Looks like a 2-armed loose spiral with one arm badly distorted.
#asteroid just above this #disturbed #spiral. I'm taking the lack of a second arm as disturbance.
Lovely #spiral, but I think that's an #asteroid just left and above the center
Interpreting this as #merger w/ 2 or 3 centers. Definitely #disturbed.
could be a #ring but may be spiral arms. pretty, though.
The "central bulge" actually looks thinner than the ring(?). #irregular #disturbed
Two #spiral collision or close pass #disturbed #merger
Damn pretty #spiral
#barred looks slightly #disturbed. #Spiral arms or #ring?
Very odd looking. #disturbed, can't really tell what the original was.
Whoa! #merger #disturbed #dustlane (maybe) #tidalstream What a fascinating mess!
Just a beautiful #spiral.
Extremely #disturbed system, can't see original shape. #merger?
#merger
Plain galaxy, but I think they caught an #asteroid in the frame.
Funny #blue #irregular with #bar and single #spiral arm
Interesting #barred #spiral. #bar is dominant, spiral arms are tiny an/or very dim.
Looks like a #ring, but an odd configuration.
The way it's framed, I think GZ identified the edge as a separate object. #edgeon
Hubble image (I think) with a #ring
Looks like a #merger or close encounter situation.
First time I've noticed a #dustlane with no obvious disk.
Another probable coincidence, but that line of dots from lower left to upper right is intruiging.
The distribution of galaxies in this image is awfully suggestive of #lens. But there's no smearing, so probably coincidence or artifact.
It's an eye! #clumpy #spiral
There's a faint hint of #lensing on the left and right. Might be spurious.
Really nice #bar. Never seen one with such tiny spiral arms coming off the bar.
Nice #merger
Beautiful #edge-on with #dustlane
Reminds me of an Ediacaran fossil. Faint #tidal stream pointing to lower right suggests an encounter creating the 3-lobe effect.
Arc of star formation and the turn-up on the right looks like an encounter w/ maybe the elliptical (or S0?) upper right.
Looks #irregular overall but the embedded shape is a loose #barredspiral.
Gorgeous! #bar with #ring and faint #spiral arms. Goes straight into my Eye Candy collection.
Galaxy is an ordinary elliptical, but check the #asteroid on the right just below center.
Thanks for the note there, pmj. Those are the oddest spiral arms I've seen and that explains it.
Near #ring with #bar. Or Darth Vader's ship coming head on.
And now a third one in the merger. Possibly #disturbed along w/the distorted spiral lower right.
Oh, I wish I had picked up on the asteroid. Thanks, vrooje!
#merger #tidalstream Beautiful!
Looks like a #barred #spiral but with a bit on the upper right that might be a captured small galaxy.
It's a sea horse! Or a question mark, reversed? #tidalstream? #disturbed? or just #irregular?
A little unusual to see a #spiral with a #bar and 4 arms.
Beautiful! The disturbance has the #ring offset from the center bulge, and a burst of star creation on the farther side of the ring.
The #bar is faint, and the #ring is #disturbed. I think the spiral arms are mostly too faint to make out.
Really big central #bulge in this #edge-on with a prominent #dustlane
#merger! Disruption of the primary #spiral in the center, worse for the loose spiral in the upper right. Tidal debris on left?
An otherwise ordinary #elliptical (or a face-on disk) but the color is a little different.
I guess the #clumpy #blue regions are new star birth activity, which would jibe with the otherwise #disturbed look.
Neat little #cluster with a #disturbed system at the top. I think if it were rotated 90 degrees clockwise you'd have a pretty good letter M
After looking at the SkyServer image, the elliptical is a good candidate for being responsible for tearing up the spiral.
WTH? Maybe it's just a background galaxy behind the big #disturbed galaxy. Or maybe it's a #merger.
#disturbed #spiral #bar Also there's a nice little edge-on in the lower left.
The small feature in the upper right of the central galaxy might just be a background feature, but what if it's local?
The #disturbed #spiral may be in an encounter with the elliptical. Certainly something has distorted it.
Odd variant #bar with strangely tight #spiral arms
It's got eyes! #disturbed? #merger? Or just an overlap?
Clearest Hubble image I've seen yet. #edge-on
Lovely #bar with the #spiral arms almost making a #ring
#merger - one of the best I've seen.
It's a nautilus! The bluish-purple band is curious. #disturbed
I'd call it a highly #disturbed #barredspiral
#blue #irregular?
Big, big #bulge and/or #bar and tiny #spiral arms
#cluster?
This looks just like the #tidaldebris plus #merger, but it's from a different dataset.
Could be an #artifact, but I'm really unsure.
ghost of a #spiral
Nice little #bar with a #ring
#dustlane But I though that was a star below. Now I see dust overlapping! #merger!
#cluster? Or just a mix of faint galaxies and stars?
That is one gorgeous mess right there. #merger #tidal
Looks like a relatively tight #cluster
#merger I think. Maybe. The core of the edge-on is displaced toward the elliptical.
#clumpy #blue #irregular
I do think this one has a #ring
Seeing some #spiral structure along with the #blue and some #clumpy bits on the left side.
First time in a while I've seen an edge-on with a #boxy profile. This one is borderline.
Interesting configuration in the main part of the disk. I called it a ring, but am now reconsidering. "Merely" a bar. #bar #ring
Ring, dustlane, or just a spiral? #ring #dustlane
Looks like a hint of a ring there. #ring
Off-center bulge and bar, #ring, probably #disturbed
I really like the partial ring around the elliptical(?) on the left. #merger
I've never seen a ring with a bar before #ring #bar
The darker spot over the central bulge is unusual.
Cute little clump.
Little red elliptical or disk seems to be approaching a loose spiral.
Almost the same image, two selections after I just saw this one.
Probably favorited many times already. Beautiful.
There is a dark circle just to the left and near the top of the galaxy. It seems too regular to be an artifact.
What's going on here? It's nice and compact, but the structure is irregular.
The orientation of the bar with respect to the spiral arms seems a little odd.
Looks like your basic not-quite-round elliptical, but the bulge is off center.
What's up with the blue dot? Foreground object? Burst of star formation?
Looks as if a spiral is getting close to a big elliptical. Lots of star formation in the spiral, esp. upper left arm.
This looks more like a merger than anything else I've seen lately.
