Second awesome object

• by Lethal_Kitten

  So the galaxy in the centre is fairly featureless but how awesome does the one on the right look? It's so bright with a weird centre.

  The object to the right is not a galaxy, but a foreground star from our galaxy. The colors, spikes and weird centre are all optical artifacts.

  And, please, always classify the object in the center of the image, even if it is the most boring one! ;D

  I did classify the middle one. I just wondered what the other one was. Thanks for explaining
