Not a galaxy, but appears to be an amazingly #beautiful artifact nonetheless

I'm not pretty sure about what this is. It seems to the image of a disperssion phenomena. I hope somebody could say something else about it.

The blue spike is an optical artifact caused by a bright star outside of this image. Classify as star/#artifact.
