STScI Science Writers' Workshop (Webcast)

Space Telescope Science Institute hosted a workshop for science writers regarding early science results from the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Five research teams analyzing the Ultra Deep Field presented their findings during a live webcast from 9am - 12pm (EDT) on September 23, 2004.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field 3-D Fly-Thru

Hubble Ultra Deep Field 3-D Fly-Thru

A flight through the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, the most distant visible-light view of the universe. The redshifts of 5,333 galaxies were converted to distances to assemble a 3-D model of the data. This scientific visualization flies through the data to showcase its true 3-D...

HUDF: 108 High-Redshift Galaxy Candidates Identified

One hundred and eight extremely distant, small and red galaxies were identified within the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. After the reveal of the locations of all 108 galaxies, it then zooms into a close-up of three representative candidates.
