What's great is trying to trace those 2 larger stars in the last pic all the way back to the first pic.

Those 2 larger stars are star clusters, not even individual stars

Keep in mind too that this is zoomed in farther out on the disk. Towards the center (the really bright area) star density is much greater.

How does this dovetail with the fact that the Earth is flat?

There are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on the earth. In fact, scientists estimate there are multiple stars for every grain of sand.

Seriously mind blowing.
