Stars seen inside the galaxy

by SergiuC
Five stars can be seen withing this galaxy (of which 3 are more obvious) along the arms in lighter color (white-blue). It's surprising for me that individual stars can be seen within a galaxy. Or maybe they are objects behind it. Any thoughts?

Hi SegiuC and welcome to the Zoo
The blue clumps are not individual stars but active star forming regions in the galaxy. The two bright white objects are foreground stars from our galaxy.
Happy hunting! 😄
