  Now here is a wild suggestion. Could it be a green pea interacting with a galaxy? And all the colors combined. they have got a circular shape. Lensing?

  The above image is full of such green objects. It may be artifacts.

  Maybe, but there are also blue and red colors in the Skyserver image. I wonder what they are.
  Besides, the green object shows up in DR 5 and DR 14, so most likely it is not an artifact.

  I noticed that too jq2uoz, To be honest I don't know anymore whether this is a real object or an artifact, It only shows up on the Skyserver images. But why does it show up in two different Data Realeses?
