When fully zoomed out, as represented on the left in the above illustration, the image does not look very exciting. But with a subset of the image of only 500x500 pixels shown at full resolution (on the right, above), a few large galaxies are easy to see: you can quickly count ten of them. Look more closely and you start seeing tens of small ones! If you were to count them all, you will end up with a couple hundred on this tiny fraction (0.07%) of the whole image. If you extrapolate to the full size of the image, you do indeed end up with nearly half a million galaxies!
