It looks like there's a vertical line of optical distortion there. Maybe some gravitational lensing from a super dense linear structure of some kind? =) My eyes must be playing tricks on me.

Not to worry Nancy, both the JPL & Spitzer releases made the exact same error multiple times. I'm interested in interacting galaxies the designation of this object immediately caught my eye. But, thanks for a great story on an important aspect of the state of the universe at an early age.

Stars forming with different composition, lack or nonexistance of many elements etc. How dynamic and large different voids would be; and how they would interact with areas with a great deal of matter. How marvelous it would be to see this galaxy the way it truly is 'today'. It reminds us to think about how different things were when the known universe was very young.

Would that not give an explanation for the starburst intensity? This looks to me like a merger of 2 (or more?) galaxies. Would that not give an explanation for the starburst intensity?

It never ceases to amaze me that the more we think we know, the more we realise we don't. Great piece, thanks. Naughty little galaxies ..
