The Hubble Space Telescope has produced some of the most stunning glimpses of distant objects mankind has ever laid eyes on, but one particular image has repeatedly wowed researchers and continues to yield new discoveries.
It’s a composite image of an area of space known as the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field, and it took hundreds of hours to produce using the telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3. The observations revealed ancient galaxies dating as far back as 13.2 billion years, and it’s the “deepest” image of space that exists. Now, a new effort to mine the original images for additional detail has resulted in an even deeper look into that area of space.
