    Nice! 😃

    It's hard to say; the SDSS image suggests it's a star-forming region in the disk, but it could also be something else.

    The fact that it's in both the UKIDSS and SDSS images strongly weighs against it being a supernova (the two were obtained at very different times; a supernova would not remain this bright for so long).
