The image has two different sides, both showing the same exact region of space at the same scale. On the right side image, the Visible light image, You will notice a bright blue star at the 12:00 position. Then below and left @ 11:00, there is a group of 3 stars. The star on the right of this small group has a lens flare that is traveling towards the southeast. The flare crosses a black area.
