Advanced Camera Will Give Hubble a New View of the Universe
This is a simulated image of how the universe will look through the eyes of a brand new camera for NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) will offer deeper, wider and faster views of the heavens than the current generation of cameras on Hubble. For...

ACS Will Find the Most Distant Galaxies (Simulation)
A demonstration of ACS's ability to detect and identify the most distant galaxies in the universe, which are seen at an epoch when the universe was only about 5% of its present age. These primordial galaxies (circled) will be visible in images taken through the ACS "z-band"...

ACS's Survey Mode is Ten Times Faster than the Present Camera (Simulation)
Simulated globular star cluster field as viewed by the current HST imaging camera (WFPC2) and by the ACS Wide Field Camera. In this illustration, both instruments are used in survey mode to image the star cluster to the same absolute flux limit (the same "depth"). The outlines...
