Strange blue/green object?

So I was just classifying some regular rounded galaxies and suddenly a strange green thing popped up in the side of the picture. Help?

Hi Myseybee and welcome to the Zoo
The spiky, bright object to the left is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird center are all optical artifacts.
Happy hunting ! 😄

Thanks Elisabeth! 😄 I've since read the "New to Galaxy Zoo? Want Help? Read this!" post, so I shouldn't make that mistake again 😃
