The image is so fascinating, the way there are 'casually' so many galaxies visible.

Zoom in and you can see some of the swirls of the galaxies. And I think there are two galaxies merging as well.

I wonder how big the star in the image actually is without the glare and if Webb would be able to capture direct images of exoplanets. That would be truly astonishing.
