Bright blue object

• by Ghost_Sheep_SWR

  Is it an intens starburst area of the central galaxy, or something else (star, overlapped pea..)

  Can't find anything at all about this object / area, but looks interesting

  DECaLS DR2

  SDSS DR9

  Present in both DECaLS and SDSS, so not a transient feature.

  Blue object Photoz 0.011177 zErr 0.012437 , could be in our galaxy

  "Parent" galaxy Photoz 0.08952 zErr 0.021855

  Photoz values could be wrong.

  It has the colour of a blue pea, similar to this.
