TLDR:
Oh my God! It’s full of galaxies!
Water, water every where but nor any drop to drink.

Two stars in a ring nebula: you can not be Sirius!
Galaxies sneak into the zone of avoidance when they though no-one was looking.I see it has already started doing the more mundane stuff. A possible supernova on the Transient Name Server, reported today though from an observation made 2022-06-22

No doubt a trickle will soon become a torrent
