    First, Hello everyone.
    I'm new to Zooniverse and got a question.
    What do i see little below the Galaxy on the left side?
    Seen such a colorous thing before, but dont now how to classify.
    Thanks a lot,
    ZooniFrog

    The colourfull thing with the spikes is a bright foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and the spikes are optical artifacts
    Happy hunting ! 😄
