  Hi and welcome @hope_j14 😃

  Apart from the 2 galaxies close to the center - all the other objects in this image are foreground stars from our own galaxy 😃

  Space is actually quite empty, but as we have to look through our own galaxy to see distant galaxies, it gives the impression that space is very busy.

  Happy Hunting!
