After using the link to 'SDSS Skyserver' from 'Galaxy Zoo examine', locate the link marked 'Navigate' on the left hand side in the section 'PhotoObj'. A large picture of the surrounding space comes into view, which is zoomable and interactive. After manipulating the image, it can be seen that the central object is a galaxy, whereas the bright object next to it is a foreground star in our galaxy. So there is no relationship between the two; it is a line-of-sight thing. I hope this helps.
