  Does anyone else think that object to the right is a supermassive star?

  Hello and welcome @RachelSchmitz 😃

  The size of the star is a bit of an illusion - it only looks supermassive, as it is closer to us than the other objects in the image 😃

  You can see the same thing when taking a photo - small objects close to the camera will look bigger than really large objects on the horizon 😃

  Happy Hunting!

  Capella.
