This is the hubble Deep Field and is part of a series of deep field images. It was taken by directing the hubble telescope on a tiny dark spot of space. Every single light in this image is a galaxy, many of them as large or larger than our own. It truly shows the immensity of our universe and shows how insignifcant all our problems really are in the grand scheme of things.
It's especially crazy that this is like .001% of the sky.
