Galaxy Zoo Talk
Did you notice strange red dot?
It seems to be problem with zooming, because it is not clear which one to classify.
Those two fellas remind me M51 Whirlpool galaxy 😉
It seems to be disturbed.
It is not clear which one should be classified. I have identified galaxy in left, bottom corner.
Extremely faint object.
Looks suspicious and I was not sure how to classify it. Is it #asteroid in right, top corner?
Beautiful #spiral with #overlap
This is roughly how Milkyway and Andromeda looks like from distance 😉
nice #barred #spiral
#disturbed #spiral, thank you for attention 😉
That is trace left by lightsaber (red - dark side) 😉 Seriously it is #satellitetrail
Nice one!
It seems to be #disturbed #spiral
nice one
#merger
nice one and already tagged 😃
I do not know what is real story, but this galaxy looks like merger and is heavily disturbed
#asteroid
nice #edgeon
I do not have access to B&W picture now, but I am pretty sure it is foreground star.
Pretty nice one!
#edgeon #merger
I can see lot of action here 😉 #barred #spiral #merger #asteroid + nice elliptical
It seems to be #star
#edgeon
I agree, they might be #mergers, there is also #asteroid
#ring
Beautiful #edgeon, disk is not perfectly straight!
#busy part of universe 😉
#barred #spiral #merger, there is also something strange in galaxy core
#bulgeless #edgeon, possible #merger
It is definitely tight #spiral with two arms. One seems to be disturbed.
#disturbed #barred #spiral
#edgeon #bulgeless #dustlane
It seems to be #merger
#overlap?
#edgeon #bulgeless
#dustlane
But I agree, it is very interesting! The way how nearby elliptical (on picture) is aligned is amazing!
It is #spiral and moreover it is not edgeon 😉
#edgeon #dustlane
This #spiral seems to be #disturbed a bit.
It seems to be #disturbed #barred #spiral
#overlap
#nice #barred #spiral 😉
#dustlane?
Is it #merger?
#barred #spiral
I actually stared classifying spiral, but I noticed mistake before submitting and restarted process. It is difficult to resist 😉
I am pretty sure spiral can be classified on "picture next door" 😉
I can see #faint #loose #spiral and guy, who is talking about momentum seems to be right 😉
Magnificent #barred #spiral
Very nice #elliptical
I was not sure how to classify it. It looks like elliptical, but in B&W I could see some sort of bar and 2 arms or ring.
I had never expected that irregular galaxies are so rare, until I was involved in GZ 😉
There is only one star on picture. SDSS can not resolve star systems and every foreground star is a point or rather large dot!
Technically speaking you are looking at millions of star systems, as almost every object on this picture is a distant galaxy.
Possible #merger?
Sure, it seems to be spiral in posted link. I marked it as elliptical, because intensive zoom... It was too difficult to recognize 😉

#mergers?
Indeed, it is magnificent #barred #spiral, yarr! 😉
#satellitetrail
#merger I pressume
Do you see signs of #interaction?
nice #spiral
Sure, these are stars. I find B&W pictures very useful to mark stars. They appear as solid objects while inverted, while galaxies are faint.
nice #bulgeless #edgeon, I can see dark path close to left edge
I can see #ring, that is for sure! I think nucleus is obscured by foreground star. It appears as very solid object in B&W IMHO...
possibly #merger
Nice #spiral
I believe it is tight, faint #spiral
I think it is #edgeon, possibly #merger
flying saucer with green, intergalactic position light turned on 😉 #edgeon #bulgeless
That is first such a nice merger today!
#nebula + some sort of optical #artefact?
I believe this sort of spirals are too small to be a effective lenses. Distant arc would indicate serious mass involved. I am not an expert.
It seems to be #disturbed #spiral and possibly #barred. I see no lensing here.
#faint #spiral
it seems to be #spiral obscured by field of stars
#asteroid detected
#barred #spiral, with four arms IMHO and #dustlane, I think I can see minor interaction, so they might be #mergers indeed 😉
possible #merger
#spiral
#star
#loose #barred #spiral
It is bright star outside picture + optical artefact.
#spiral #edgeon #dustlane
I think so.
#asteroid looks usually like 3 dots - RGB. It is because it moves fast and changes position between each exposure.
#barred #spiral, but I can not tell how many arms, at least two, but they look almost like rings.
#barred #disturbed #spiral
#elliptical #merger
For more details you can go to "Examine object" and check all object on the picture in SDSS database.
I think it is loose #spiral, possibly interacting with object on left hand side, unless they are stars, they are a bit too fuzzy IMHO.
#edgeon, possible #merger or is it just how we see it?
#stars
Pretty #busy part of universe, #spiral #overlap, possibly #merger, two #edgeon in background
Sure, I can see the same. There is also #ring
Seems to be difficult to classify #spiral with dust patch(?)
It seems to be #spiral or definitely galaxy with disc features or some sort of inner #ring.
perfectly #elliptical
True, a bit irregular spiral.
It is a foreground star with some sort of artefact.
#barred #spiral, possibly #disturbed
#star I believe
Could be #merger, but I hardly see interaction now.
adding tag: #spiral
almost #edgeon
#star I presume?
Sure, tilt head to the right and stars look like unicorn falling from the sky 😉
One of my best galaxies today! I would add #edgeon tag as well.
#tiefighter #barred #ring
I agree, but I was not able to distinguish spiral arm pattern.
Did they start to #interacting?
It is #spiral and I can see at least 2 arms, so they are not so undistinguished 😉
Apparently #star
#starformation #spiral (?) #disturbed
Bretarn, this force is called GRAVITY 😉
That was difficult to classify! Is it disturbed spiral?
I have a felling that I see too many #barred #spiral galaxies recently 😉
Possible #merger
In right corner you have star affected by some sort of optical artefact. This #merger is magnificent!
It is interesting that so many ellipticals have some sort of "bar" which is not perfectly aligned with overall orientation of ellipse.
I saw somewhere guys explained it as problem with focus (green is out of focus). Picture probably shows star anyway.
It seems to be #barred #spiral in my opinion.
Nice1 😉

I think can see #dustlane as well.
It is cool, that you see the same 😉 I think I am going to examine it, to see it's neighbour.
It seems to have faint #ring
Chances for seeing planets on SDSS pictures are roughly ZERO, unless it is aimed at planet in the Solar System 😉
#elliptical with #arc or #ring
#loose #spiral
Did you check red shift?
Is there #ring? What do you think?
#disturbed #barred #spiral, possibly with satellite galaxies (?)
I think there is #asteroid
Beautiful #barred #spiral
This #spiral seems to be #disturbed
It is #satellitetrail
How far (value of red shift) would it have to be to consider it as nearby galaxy and possible merger?
I found that red shift of bottom spiral is: z = 0.11778 ± 0.00001 (0.118 rounded). There is no spectrum for center spiral.
This one is challenging to classify. There are some faint features visible, but to faint to be sure 😉
Galaxies seem to #overlap
This #elliptical seems to have #dustlane
Do we know what is the red shift of these objects? I tried, but I can not find it in the SDSS database.
#artefact #satellitetrail
I believe that surfaces of planets in other solar systems are far beyond resolution capabilities of HST 😉
Busy part of the Universe 😉
It seems to be #barred #spiral with #ring
Two stars on this picture seems to be slightly distorted. It looks like exposures are shifted.
It seems to be #satellitetrail IMHO. They leave trail on one of the exposures. Look for nice tutorial somewhere here on talks.
Apparently it is some sort of optical #artefact. Different colours come in separate exposures (different filters).
English please! Beautiful #barred #spiral
Sure, nice #dustlane, amazing galaxy 😉
It seems to be #barred #spiral
Posted link to skyservice explains object pretty much. I should have noticed that it bright enough to be stars.
Good, because it is artefact 😉 But it is also fragment of bigger picture of #nebula, as tagged by bajik.
Is it cigar shaped elliptical or edge-on spiral? What do you think?
What kind of galaxy is it? It looks like elliptical, but usually they are yellow or orange.
It seems to have #ring
What could be the source of arcs/ring? Sign of past collision? Not perfectly formed elliptical?
Galaxy should be perfectly in straight line in order to be "edge on" and this one is just "almost".
What sort of object is it? Is it foreground star?
I hope stars will never become another urban legend, because light pollution affecting sky over major cities 😉
It seems to be #overlap
Nice #dustlane
Damn! I had selected "disturbed", but then changed my mind 😉
Apparently #artifact and #satellitetrail
It is galaxy parade 😉 These two in the middle seems to be #overlap.
I see no signs of merging, but I am not an expert. I would be interested in hearing professional opinion.
It seems to be #artifact IMHO.
Can you see two tiny dots below center of galaxy (bottom/right)? Is it noise, some sort of dust or foreground object?
I live for such a pictures! 😉
How to classify this galaxy? Is there is a sign of disc? It does not look like elliptical galaxy IMHO and it seems to be distorted.
What is the orange object on the right side? Is it foreground star?
Jubee, see this tutorial for more information: http://talk.galaxyzoo.org/help/discussions/DGZ1006byh
Pretty nice #spiral galaxy!
I can not see any galaxy in the center of the screen. Apparently computer was confused by #satellitetrail
I see mgorman. Thank you for suggestion! I found few topics here on forum, so I have plenty to read 😉
I think we need another tool, ex: "Can't tell", "Not enough data" or just "Skip", so you can track such pictures.
Pythagora, wow, what imagination! 😉 I think GalaxyZoo is missing tool to mark galaxies, that are impossible to classify!
It seems to be #merger. I think I can see two spiral arms.
This is pretty interesting! I do not know what to identify on this fragment, but there are many distant galaxies! Nice 😉
I am often confused with similar pictures. There are so many poor quality fragments made by HST. How to classify them?
So I made good decision. It appeared to be either star or artefact, perhaps two stars? Thank you Wrenchman for link to topic.
I am often confused with hubble's pictures. Is it artefact or extremely distant galaxy?
Good I selected "merger" option. It seems they just started to dance 😉
Is it merger? What do you think?
Seems to be artefact, however there might be galaxies on this picture.
I ignored red dot, because it seems to be star.
I marked it as spiral. How many arms do you see? It seems to have 4 (only one one side?) or only 2 + 2 satellites?
Poor quality, but quite interesting. What are objects around it? Satellite galaxies or debris left after collision?
Did you notice strange red dot?
It seems to be problem with zooming, because it is not clear which one to classify.
Those two fellas remind me M51 Whirlpool galaxy 😉
