Those two dots are moons.
You can’t see the stars in the image because stars produce a low level of light, and cameras don’t pick up light in the same way your eyes do. It’s the same reason why it’s difficult to get a good image of the stars using a phone camera when you’re taking a picture of the moon.

define "more eclipses". An eclipse is only possible if the moon is the right distance relative to its size, and crosses directly between the planet and the sun. If its too far away, or not big enough, it doesn't eclipse, and just "transits", like what venus does to earth every century or so. If anything, because gas giants tend to have a lot of moons, they would have a lot of transits.

You're talking about something that has had literal billions of years to form. Universe sandbox and the like are the kerbal of astrophysics. They are a fantastic introduction that let you viscerally experience the topic, by they have to be springboards for you to learn about the topic in-depth, trying to base an argument on "it works in kerbal/that's how it is in universe sandbox" will get you laughed at.

Now, where I work, satellite collision debris is a hot topic, and we have very high fidelity in-house simulators for these things (we're talking thousands or millions of points), and they will form nice circular rings over the course of only a few years, with a "bulge" (think the stone on a wedding ring) that dissipates into the rest of the ring after some time.

The erratic orbits you mention would exist initially, but as the other orbits settle into their steady-state, anything that isn't in equilibrium would eventually get ejected from the system, or forced into a more stable orbit.

But more of them when the moon is not out. And none when the sun is out. So it is almost like the presence of a bright light source makes it difficult to see the stars, and it gets more difficult the brighter the light source.

And that's before we even consider camera exposures...

Once I visited a dis-used coal mine in Wales. The guy that took me around showed me stalls, down inside the mine, where ponies were once stabled -- they used ponies to pull carts full of rock and ore out of the mine, back in the day. The ponies lived their lives in the mine, except when they went outside to graze. And they only allowed them to graze at night, because they were born in darkness and worked in darkness and the light of the sun would damage their eyes, and terrify them. Thinking about those poor fucking ponies who lived and died in darkness and never got to see the light of day was the last time I cried.

Until today.
