The Deep Field
The Hubble Deep Field shows galaxies as faint as 30th magnitude, roughly four billion times fainter than what the unaided eye can see. These dim, distant objects reveal the universe's appearance less than a billion years after the Big Bang. This image provides humanity's most distant optical view of the cosmos.
