What is next to this galaxy?

  It's the bright object highlighted with yellow bars for some reason. It seems weird.

  Hi Aveeo and welcome to the Zoo

  The bright spiky object to the right is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors and spikes are all optical artifacts.

  Happy hunting ! 😄
