strange object

• by Kakadu

  Hi everyone, please take a closer look at this picture. Just below the centre of the galaxy there is a strange object. I am aware of the green peas, but this one looks different. There is this green compact object surrounded by total blackness. It also shows when you invert the colours. Has anyone seen this before or any idea what it may be?

  Looks like an artifact to me. But a very strange one ! 😄

  I agree with ElisabethB...looks like an artefact to me. Be careful in your imaginings at the limit. 😉
