It doesn't have to focus on everything. Also, I'm not really a photographer or anything, but I imagine that it helps to get a clearer picture when you don't have any atmosphere to get in the way, hence why we use the Hubble space telescope for imaging rather than telescopes on Earth.
The picture is so beautiful and intricate. In fact, I would call it "irreducibly complex". It's like it was planned... or DESIGNED! God... is that you?
