A:

So it's your wallpaper. Check this http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper/pr2003011a/

the title says: Iridescent Glory of the Helix Nebula

If you look closely, on the left corner of your wallpaler you can see the "y".

Has your device been jailbroken?
Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues

If you listen to the music of the "The Helix", it could also be part of the album cover that iTunes plays.

Thanks for helping. However, my device is not jailbroken and also I don't have any music of "The Helix" and I have never listened to it. I am attaching an image of it. Sometimes just the bottom part of the letters is seen and occasionally the whole lot as below.

Thanks much. The funny thing is that the picture I used does not have this part in it, so even though I looked at the wall paper as one of the first things I couldn't see anything. Also it came and went.
But seeing the original pointed out by you, it became clear.
Thanks again.
