Hubble Ultra Deep Field Image Reveals Galaxies Galore

Galaxies, galaxies everywhere - as far as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope can see. This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this galaxy-studded view represents a "deep" core sample of the universe,...

Hubble Ultra Deep Field Infrared View of Galaxies Billions of Light-Years Away

This infrared view reveals galaxies far, far away that existed long, long ago. Taken by the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-object Spectrometer aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the image is part of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field survey, the deepest portrait ever taken of the...

A Sampling of Galaxies From the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Image

A galactic brawl. A close encounter with a spiral galaxy. Blue wisps of galaxies. These close-up snapshots of galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field reveal the drama of galactic life. Almost every panel shows oddball-shaped galaxies engaged in boxing matches with galactic...

Comparison of Imaging from the Ground and Space

This picture shows a comparison of images of the same region of the sky obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (right) and the Subaru 8 meter telescope's Supreme camera. The region is an area from the GOODS North field. Both images are color...

Zoom into Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys Ultra Deep Field – Version 1

The establishing shot starts with a very wide view of the sky centered on the Fornax constellation as seen by a photographic camera image taken by Akira Fujii. The image dissolves into the Digitized Sky Survey, through the Hubble GOODS South and ending on the HUDF.

Zoom into Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys Ultra Deep Field – Version 2 (Annotated)

The establishing shot starts with a very wide view of the sky as seen by a small ground-based telescope centered on the Fornax constellation. The image dissolves into the Digitized Sky Survey, through the Hubble GOODS South and ending on the HUDF. Constellations and fields are...

Pan across the Hubble's Advance Camera for Surveys Ultra Deep Field – Version 1

This pan across the Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys Ultra Deep Field shows the density of galaxies and morphology of very faint galaxies. This field of view is twice the size and higher in density than the original Hubble Deep Field. Beautiful galaxies are revealed as the...
