Check out GAMA 526784! It's an "ultra-diffuse galaxy" (UDG), which basically means that its stellar populations are spread out over a very large volume. That means that they tend to be quite dim and hard to spot.

UDGs tend to have older stellar populations, and a sizeable contingent of globular clusters. But this one seems to have some blue star-forming regions!
