The technique was applied around the largest galaxies, kind of taking away the glare. An actually working technique like the broadcast TV commercials for sunglasses. You know, where the "actual people, not paid actors" are amazed and simply stunned by how well the sunglasses work...

Consider those areas grayed out. The picture is like clearing frost off of some areas of a window by pressing your fingertips on the glass, except the white isn't anything.

Knowing there were so many galaxies found in that small segment of the universe expanded my own view of our incredible existence.

Having read Carl Sagan's book Cosmos twice back in the day I finally had a visual understanding of how there can be "more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth". That seemed like so much hyperbole when I first read that line.

It's amazing that the Hubble can hold steady for a time exposure long enough to make these bodies appear like magic. Imagine what the next generation space telescope will do. Or we can waste money on Space Force just so we can plant a flag in geosync orbit.

Thanx for posting!

Good to see you here! How are you feeling?

It's good to be recovering at home, but I've got a lot of therapy ahead. Good thing it's winter.

Thanx for asking.

Very interesting.

but I've never seen anything like that.
