I noticed something on the hubble image on the July 16 apod image. Has any investigation ever been made into the very symetrical point arranged into a diagonal cross on the core of the edge-on spiral galaxy in this image? Could this be an Einstein Cross? Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Keep looking up!
