We're not sure what this is

AGS0000496(http://quenchtalk.galaxyzoo.org/#/subjects/AGS0000496)

Is this a very asymmetrical galaxy with a bright bulge at the "bottom"? Or is the brightness something else which is "behind" the "nebulosity" (to use Herschel's term)?

The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy.

OK. Thanks, we can visualize it now. How can we go back and possibly modify our classification?

Sorry, you cannot change your classification. But don't feel bad. Lots of people will this image and any mistakes will disappear

happy hunting !
