A Zoo Gem! Dust lanes from a spiral galaxy illuminated from behind by two galactic nuclei. Whether or not the two bulges belong to distinct galaxies or the same one, I know not.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Zoo Gem! Dust lanes from a spiral galaxy illuminated from behind by two galactic nuclei. Whether or not the two bulges belong to distinct galaxies or the same one, I know not. Given the left one's extra reddening, it would seem reasonable to conclude it is located further behind than the one on the right. The left bulge is called UGC 7064C, while the right one is called UGC7064A or B. I'm not sure why that happened.

Zoo Gems is an offshoot of the Galaxy Zoo project seeking to take some detailed observations of some unique objects collectively discovered by volunteers. I hope to do some more of these when I have the time. They may still be a little small and blurry even with HST, but they are still highly interesting and unusual peeks into the Universe.

Color comes from Legacy Surveys DR8.
