About the Object

  • Distance
    DistanceThe physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs.

About the Data

  • Data Description
    Data DescriptionProposal: A description of the observations, their scientific justification, and the links to the data available in the science archive.
    Science Team: The astronomers who planned the observations and analyzed the data. "PI" refers to the Principal Investigator.
    The science findings are based on various Hubble archival observations of galaxy surveys, including COSMOS, CDF–S, UDS, GOODS, and CANDELS. The images were created from Hubble data from proposal 12060, PIs: S. Faber (University of California, Santa Cruz) and H. Ferguson (STScI), et al. The science team includes: C.
