Many, many moons ago, way back in art class, I drew a picture of outer space and drew stars everywhere. Hundreds of little tiny points of light. I thought it was pretty good.

My teacher gave me a C because he said there were too many stars.

Space doesn't have that many stars.

We lived in the city.

There are more stars in the universe than your teacher could comprehend.

It's a picture towards the galactic center, not of the galactic center. None of the stuff you are seeing there is anywhere near the middle. It's mostly dust and stars from our local spur with the stuff in the background being the Perseus Arm. Galactic center is behind that.
