Blue arc

• by ElisabethB moderator

  In the center of the image is a blue arc.

  It looks too big for the small galaxy.

  Any ideas ?

  #107 from the survey is large compared to the galaxy so maybe yours is ok

  But in this case the arc doesn't look centered on the galaxy. That doesn't completely rule out lensing, but it makes it much less likely.

  It really was a long shot.
