  All the bright green thingies are imaging artifacts.

  Just classify the object in the centre of the image.

  Happy hunting ! 😄

  I haven't seen that artifact before. What do you think, are we seeing the scaffolding of the Universe?

  Nah, probably just forgot to remove the blueprints.

  Nice conspiracy theory image though...

  Another centered at http://skyserver.sdss.org/dr9/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=1237666091124850866 .

  DR6 has no artifacts. The green atrifacts may be due to the star at 1237678860626493483 in DR7
