I’d previously heard the only individual stars we can see/resolve (other than special cases, like supernovas) are in our own galaxy. (And I would guess all the individual stars I see in the low-res versions of the image above are in our own galaxy - sort of a reverse-photobombing).
But apparently that’s not true, at least for our big neighbor. Maybe what I heard previously meant with the naked eye, which makes more sense.
