  Beautiful #spiral. #dust lane and stars forming I think.
  But what is the dark red dot near the center??

  May be a cloud of dust because it obscure a portion of the galaxy.

  wouldn't dust be rather dark than red?
  I interpreted the red as over-shining rather than obscuring, but I am an amateur just trying to use my own common sense.
