    Zoom out, in Navigate, and you'll see that (many of) the other objects nearby (many of them stars) have similar 'double' appearances.

    There does seem to be a number of more-or-less symmetric pairs of red spots around the galaxy ... but there's a very bright star nearby (towards the top left), making the sky very noisy.
