Chandra Deep Field
The Chandra Deep Field-South is the deepest X-ray image of the Universe ever taken. It represents one million seconds of accumulated exposure time with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This view, in the constellation Fornax, shows distant galaxies and black holes, with low-energy X-rays in red, medium in green, and high-energy in blue. It offers a unique look into the early universe, complementing visible light images from Hubble.
