[Hebrews 11:6]

There are actually three stars visible in the image which are in the immediate foreground and reside in our Milky Way galaxy: the one highlighted by Lady and two more in the upper-left. They're distinguishable by the spikes associated with them, which are camera artifacts. Every other object is a distant galaxy.

Astronomers selected this portion of the sky for their very long exposure precisely because of the near-total absence of intervening objects. Its point was to discover just how many very faint and distant galaxies really exist. Every tiny faint color-spot is an entire galaxy, averaging two hundred billion stars each!

Ah... So. Thank you for pointing the other two out. I was so dazzled by the one
I posted that I stopped looking for others.

So there is a “little” window through which we are able to see all those galaxies
out there, but the rainbow lens effects are from stars much closer to home here.

Again, thank you.

“Every tiny faint color-spot is an entire galaxy, averaging two hundred billion stars each!”

Not trying to be clever, but I had the impression that some of the spots were clusters of galaxies. Or does Hubble have the power to resolve even those into their discreet galaxies?
