Odd very blue disruption

  • Pataraga by Pataraga

    So I see this blue object on the left hand side of this image.. It almost looks like a blue spiral with an ejection coming out of it? Has anyone seen anything like this?

    Hi Pataraga and welcome to the Zoo

    The blue object on the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
