The correct answer is revealed to be Earth's moon, captured in a photograph with a contrail.

  • Familiarity with photography techniques, particularly low-light photography.

Earth's moon?
 
I'm going to guess a very young star with a planetary disk.

Who/What took the picture?
 
Pulsar.
 
First post ruined my fun. It is in fact the moon with a contrail through the middle. I took it on a camera phone late at night.
