    Does anyone know what this is? It looks very different from the galaxies I have seen thus far.

    The central object is an edge on disk or spiral galaxy (slightly disturbed!) .
    The bright spiky thingy is a foreground tar from our galaxy. And the colors and spikes are all optical artifacts.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
