Galaxies Galore!

At first glance this new space photo doesn’t look very special, just a few bright stars and a sprinkling of fainter ones. But in fact almost all of those fainter objects are not stars in our Galaxy, the Milky Way. They are actually very remote galaxies, each containing billions of stars!
