Hubble Ultra Deep Field

Ultra Deep Field galaxies. Hubble Space Telescope Ultra Deep Field, the deepest view ever taken of the universe in 2004. Each dot of light is a separate galaxy. Some of these are amongst the most distant objects ever seen, over 13 billion light years away, and thus over 13 billion years old. To detect these extremely faint galaxies, the HST focused its ACS and NICMOS cameras on an apparently empty patch of sky for one million seconds. The infrared NICMOS data shows galaxies at a redshift of up to 12, which were among the first objects to form in the universe after its birth 13.7 billion years ago.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Obtained in 2003 and 2004, this view shows distant galaxies in an area of the constellation Fornax, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The view shows nearly 10,000 galaxies in what is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The galaxies are of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies (brighter spirals and ellipticals) are from about 1 billion years ago, when the universe was 13 billion years old. This image consists of 800 exposures taken over 11 days, between September 2003 and January 2004. Image data in optical and infrared, from the HST's Advanced Camera fo...

Hubble Ultra Deep Field, ultraviolet coverage. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field was first obtained in 2003 and 2004, and has been extended over the years with the addition of coverage in other wavelengths such an infrared. This image includes new coverage in ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. The area shown (in the constellation of Fornax) includes 5500 galaxies, some of them among the most distant known, existing when the universe was only a few hundred million years old. Some are the most distant objects ever identified. The study is called the Ultraviolet Coverage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UVUDF) project. Image data obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)'s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). Image publi...

Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2012. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) infrared image of distant galaxies in a region of the sky in the constellation of Fornax. This region was chosen for its lack of foreground stars, enabling long-exposure times for observations of distant galaxies billions of years distant, showing their appearance only a few million years after the origin of the universe. Image data obtained with the HST's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument, and published in 2012.
