Artifact/Markings?

  • Jasklop by Jasklop

    Found this picture of a Galaxy with a star(?) with a yellow marking of artifact in the foreground that looks quite artificial to me. Does anyone have an explanation for this or has seen this before?

    Welcome Jasklop, this bright thing with refractive spikes is a bright foreground star in our own galaxy.
