There is so much going on there. All those little pink blots are nebulae ionized by star formation. The dark lanes are raw material for new stars. The bluish glow comes from starlight reflecting from dust so thin even a liberal wouldn’t complain about the second hand smoke. Stars that are 100,000 times as bright as our sun or more. The scale of it is beyond belief. To say we are specs compared to specs compared to specs compared to it is a gross overstatement.
