A Distant Galaxy in the Deep Field
This faint reddish smudge is a candidate for the most distant known galaxy. It may have existed only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. This image is part of the Hubble Deep Field, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope over ten days in December 1995. Astronomers are studying the image to understand the early universe.
