Strange luminous mass

• by mZakk

  Hello everyone!
  Well, in this image I saw this strange feature, which I haven't seen in any other set of picture, and now I'm curious...so, does anybody know what's that weirdly shaped luminous thing in the upper right corner of the picture?😃

  Thanks in advance!

  Nice catch! The galaxy is NGC 4535, a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies.
