What is that purple object to the side of the galaxy?

In the top left of the image?
That is a foreground star from our own galaxy. The weird shape and missing pixels are all optical artifacts. Remember to only classify the object directly at the center, in this case a lovely barred spiral 😃

Thanks Capella05! I classified the galaxy itself but was just curious about the foreground star you told me about! Thanks for answering my question!
