  What are the bright blue points in the distant wing of the disk?

  Blue points are young stars.

  That looks too large to be a star; it would take up a large portion of the galaxy. I think it's an object behind the galaxy we're viewing.

  What I meant was, the blue sections are regions of young stars in the galaxy, not just one star. Millions of stars.
