Notice its companion galaxy, the other irregular galaxy in this photo. Because they're so close and the companion's mass is similar to ol' Zwicky's, their gravitational interaction is setting off the new star formation (blue stars) even though both galaxies contain stars 10 billion years old (red stars). The other disks and spheres outside of the foreground galaxies are other galaxies, even older than these two.
Best,
