Background photo; an hypnotically distorted view of "the Great Jewels of the Pleiades".

At this trivial magnification, all distant stars should actually be represented by single pixels of light. The absurd astrophysical crowd is always desperate for more funding, as if their work had any value. Leaving this natural feature of the CCD to portray the stars as if they were thousands of times nearer than they actually are, is a deliberate ploy to try and maintain public interest in a subject of which they are in fact sublimely ignorant. For example; despite 60 years of trying very hard with powerful supercomputers, they are no nearer to explaining how any star forms in the first place than they were in 1730. In spite of my publication of "Mass Compaction Mechanics" in 2015, nobody even noticed. Nobody can understand Mass Compaction Mechanics because they are blocked by a cosmological theory that is so absurd that it is actually batshit insane.
