Star? Supernova?

    What an odd looking thing! The object on the left is extremely bright, and since both objects are so near the center I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to be looking at.

    Always classify the object directly at the center. In this case the fuzzy blue object on the right.

    The object on the left is a foreground star from our own galaxy - the Milky Way.
