  Again a foregroundstar from our galaxy. No interaction possible whatsoever.

  that looks amazing, so the blue star is actually billions of light years "in front" of the galaxy and not next to it?

  The bright spiky object is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy and has no connection with the central galaxy that is very very far behind it. It is just a line of sight.
