I started saying "this image is so noisy" but all the dots are actually stars, it's incredible!

They aren't stars, they're galaxies!
Depends on which picture you're looking at
Depends on which dots you're looking at
Depends on which post u are refering it
It blew my mind when I realized that all but about a dozen of the points of light that you can see at night with the naked eye are actual stars... but nearly every point of light in the Hubble deep field is a galaxy of 10^8 stars.
