Galaxy AGZ0001dz3

• by BrielleJMBaker

  Naturally, I find this image of a galaxy to be quite irregular. I am not sure why this image is green or why (even on screen) it feels too bright to look at.

  I find it interesting that there seems to be an irregular-shaped white right on the inside of the sphere as well as a defined outline.

  This may in fact be a star but it looked unusual to me.

  This is indeed a star from our galaxy, but something went wrong with the imaging/filters.
