At first glance, a sky full of stars...
Look closer: most of these tiny points of light are actually galaxies!
This Rubin Observatory view captures around 10 million of them, each with a story to uncover.

Spectacular:
High-altitude observation of the STS 51-A shuttle Discovery launch, with the pad shining as a central beacon in a cloud assembly; the Discovery shuttle is seen as a light at the pinnacle of a smoke shaft, bordered by dense cloud layers.
