Beware such depictions. Orbital space is nowhere near that densely crowded. The scale of the dots is massively exaggerated - necessary simply to see them on such representations. Were they to scale, they'd be far too tiny to be visible.

In this example, were the dots as depicted to scale, they'd be larger than cities.
