Distances of some of the objects in "the rainbow"

• by Budgieye moderator

  

  My guesses (without the benefit of a database)

  red, not round, slightly fuzzy: very distant galaxy, maybe a spiral, z=0.8

  For more information see

  orange, round, disk: orange star in our galaxy z=0

  yellow, round (I think), disk: yellow star in our galaxy z=0

  green-blue, not round, ; small "nearby" star-forming galaxy z=0.005

  blue, round: hot blue star in our galaxy z=0
