There is some lensing (sim) gong on around the central galaxy. The bright spot at the bottom could be a foreground star from our galaxy.

is it possible that we could have a #sim masking a real one? Thinking the shape is really nice. Pity if it is just a sim.

#sim You can tell because it says 'Training image' at the lower right 😃

Actually - there could be a real one under it. This happened a couple of times in the initial phase of SpaceWarps...

... even if it says 'Training Image' trust your instincts and mark what you see.
