I guess this is an artifact or a star but I am not sure.

Hi @Marie_Em 😃
In this case it is a galaxy, but the really bright nucleus / core of the galaxy has caused some strange colour artifacts. We usually refer to this as 'over-saturation'.
Edited to add: This galaxy has a active galaxy nuclei (AGN) that is why the center is so bright 😃 Nice find!
Here is the same galaxy, viewed in a larger scale.
Hope this helps!
