    Comment by WizardHowl:

    radio emission from spectacular star formation. Line of green star clusters?! late-stage #merger perhaps?

    GZ astronomer Kevin had done following comment about the SDSS image in the GZ forum some years ago.:

    IC 2520 is a massively starforming merger producing stars at such a prodigious rate that the dust from all that star formation is obscuring large parts of the galaxy. It's a great example of a merger-induced starburst.
