This is one of the first images released by NASA taken by the James Webb telescope. The area of the sky is said to be the size of a grain of sand held at arms length. The tiny little dots are stars in our galaxy. All the other imges are galaxies big ones, little ones. A few million light years away to some images that may only be 600 million years old.
Of course the oldest galaxies don't look like their snapshots anymore. Those stars have died and in the dying birthed new stars, new planets. Star jewels on black velvet. The closest to infinity we're likely to get.
