It just nuts. When you blow the picture up, you see all those Galaxies not planets around it. Truly staggering.

Number of planets is beyond our math and the number of galaxies is insane. Their has to be TONS of life out there and certainly something far more advanced than us but the question is still traveling vast distances.
As for the image it does show at least twice as many as Hubble but I bet there is many more we still don't see.

Why didn’t they make a nebula their first image. The plebs love nebula porn. We’ll definitely get some cool shot from the web scope in the future, looking forward to it. Need to update my background of Eta Carinae.
