You think those are stars zipping by on the Enterprise main viewing screen? No. If they were, they would be different brightness and colors.

What they are is comets and other interstellar debris that the main deflector shield has to watch out for and avoid. They are ~10,000 times closer together than stars, so they go zipping by at warp speeds.

Couldn’t care less about Trekkie stuff, but the limited sci-fi stuff I’ve seen often has galaxies and stars flying by. Watched a video on YouTube today about space travel that featured just this phenomena
