Hubble Deep Field
The Hubble Deep Field project used the Hubble Space Telescope to peer deep into space—farther than had ever been possible before. In this image, the telescope focused on one tiny area of the sky for ten days. Every object visible is a far-distant galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars, revealing the awesome magnitude of the universe.
