Images of NGC 5238 from our HST (left image) and LBT (right image) data, with the star clusters considered in this Letter circled and labelled. The different intensity cuts in the two images are intended to highlight the irregular structure of the inner star-forming region (ACS image) and the regular ellipsoid of the main body as well as the shape of the tidal features protruding from its northern and southern edges (LBC image).
