How do I relate JWST findings to the sky I actually see?

Okay, this might sound silly, but I was staring at the sky last night and a weird thought hit me. I’ve seen all these incredible JWST images, but when I actually look up, I just see a few blurry dots. It makes the whole scale of things feel completely impossible to grasp. How do you even start to connect what we’re discovering out there with the quiet, empty blackness we see from our backyards?
