Red spots (noobie)

What's this little red spot in the middle here? I've seen others that are really saturated, too.
Is it something to do with its shiny middle being overexposed or something? If it were a star it would have diffraction spikes, right?
Thanks 😃Posted

This is a Illustris simulated galaxy, my guess is that it is supposed to the galactic core.

Thank you 😃
Is it common for simulated stuff to have funny things like this?Posted

Yes, the reason why we are classifying the Illustris simulated galaxies is to highlight possible shortcomings in the model. The human eye is (currently!) better than a computer to do that 😃
