A galactical star in front of the galaxy?

• by delete_bb8f4e0e

  Hello, zoofriends.
  What is about the yellow spot in front of the galaxy AGZ00061oe?
  Is it a foreground star or an object connected with the galxy?
  Best regards, Mark-Munir

  The yellow spot is indeed a foreground star from our galaxy.
  So, it isn't in any way connected to the galaxy

  Then, is the yellow circle in the centre of the galaxy a star that is shining through or a bulge?

  The yellow circle in the center is indeed the bulge.
