re: Do you understand that you cannot see individual stars in that galaxy?

Okay, did ya' load the image? Did you look at it? Maybe I was loose in my terminology. Fine. Sorry. But darn ifthey don't LOOK LIKE STARS FROM THE GALAXY. My point being that whatever is being seen off the right side appears rather distinctly to be interacting with the glowing gases, etc. and to be being actively ejected (I'd assume rather in line with Arp's work on quasar ejection, but perhaps through some other process), and that's pretty cool.

Anyway, if you look in the high res, there appear to be a binary pair of orange dots (which I assumed were stars; correct me if I'm wrong) up along the ejected wisps of green gas on the right side of the central major object in the photo. And the look like they're being ejected or otherwise interacting with the gases...

As I said, pretty cool. That's about all I was getting at. A little above and to the left, I think, there's another cluster of bluish dots that also appear to be being ejected en masse. Also pretty cool to catch in the act.
