Galaxy Zoo Talk

WHAT IS THAT BRILLIANT POINT IN THE CORNER OF THE PICTURE?

  • AstroPerdigues by AstroPerdigues

    I classified the galaxy in the center of the image, but I am not really sure how to classify the most brilliant one. I think it is maybe a quasar, or a star closer than the named galaxy. What do you think? Help pleaseee

    PD: Sorry if there are many grammatical mistakes, my english stinks 😉

    Hi AstroPerdigues and welcome to the Zoo

    As I said in the comments to the left : The bright object is a foreground star from our galaxy. The colours and spikes are all optical artifacts.

    Happy hunting and btw your English is just fine! 😄
