In the image with the very bright star near the centre, the one with the big diffraction spikes, there's a spiral galaxy to the right of that bright star, almost at the edge of the picture.  That galaxy looks a bit like our Milky Way.  I wonder if it would still look the same if we were able to get closer?  Could there be people in that distant galaxy looking at us through their new telescope?  It's mind-boggling to realize how much space and how many stars are shown in just one single image.

Sounds like the plot line from a Star Trek mirror episode 🤔
