The Deepest Universe Image Ever Taken
Saturday, September 7, 2013 4:06
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
What did the first galaxies look like? To help answer this question, the Hubble Space Telescope has just finished taking the eXtreme Deep Field (XDF), the deepest image of the universe ever taken in visible light. Pictured above, the XDF shows a sampling of some of the oldest galaxies ever seen, galaxies that formed just after the dark ages, 13 billion years ago, when the universe was only a few percent of its present age. The Hubble Space Telescope’s ACS camera and the infrared channel of the WFPC3 camera took the image. Combining efforts spread over 10 years, the XDF is more sensitive, in some colors, than the original Hubble Deep Field (HDF), the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) completed in 2004, and the HUDF Infrared completed in 2009. Astronomers the world over will likely study the XDF for years to come to better understand how stars and galaxies formed in the early universe. – apod.nasa.gov/apo….
Just think, you could be looking at hundreds, thousands, millions of advanced or humble civilizations that look like something we cant even begin to fathom. I am certain there are things out there wwe havent even thought of yet. Amazing image. -Mort
If the Hubble Ultra Deep can take this picture, then they can easily take a picture of Comet ISON and tell us how many bumps are on it…
If the Hubble were above Los Angeles it could take a picture of a Penny as far away as New York City and it could see what Mint Mark is on the Penny in “Normal Mode”…
You can bet you bottom Dollar that NASA can take pictures of Mars that are far more detailed than anything they claim to have taken. They are hiding the Life on Mars from the World’s people….
I cant wait until we can zoom in to single systems and their attributes . Seeing visually planets and stars so far away is going to be amazing
Scientist say there are BILLIONS of galaxies, not planets. THIS IS ASTONISHING!
But I tell you something even more astonishing. IF EVERY light of each galaxy were to reach the earth at the same time it would brighten the entire sky. Not one black spot. That is how much galaxies exist. Trillions upon zillions!
In another words there is so much galaxies so distance we see only the recent ones. But if we were to see everyone at the same time, again, it would light up the entire sky as we know it.
Every dark space you see in between each galaxy lies billions more who light has not reach earth yet, they are so far away.
Is it not written you cannot measure the heavens?
