Iconically, Hubble’s deep field images best showcase its capabilities. The full UV-visible-IR composite of the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field; the greatest image ever released ...

An image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field released in 2004. The images taken in the Ultra Deep Field result from exposure time of over 11 days between Sep. 24, 2003 and Jan. 16, 2004.

Before NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured its iconic Hubble Deep Field, some astronomers were hesitant to take the ambitious imagery. But the director of Hubble's science mission took the risk.

The image, dubbed the Hubble Extreme Deep Field (XDF), reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever detected, shedding more light on the early history of the universe.

What makes the Hubble Deep Field an atypical core sample is that rather than observing the material as it is now, the telescope collected images of galaxies as they appeared millions and billions ...

The Hubble Space Telescope's iconic "Deep Field" photo wowed the world in 1996 by revealing a huge collection of galaxies hiding inside a patch of the sky that looked like nothing more than blank ...

A newly-released picture taken by the Hubble Telescope is adding more color to the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) image by detecting thousands of galaxies in the ultraviolet spectrum. The study ...

The first Deep Field North observations were so successful that the Hubble did a Deep Field South some three years later; followed by an even more sensitive Hubble Ultra Deep Field in late 2003.

It’s a composite image of an area of space known as the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field, and it took hundreds of hours to produce using the telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3.

Because the Hubble Ultra Deep Field is tiny — one one-hundred-fiftieth the apparent area of the full moon on the sky — and because the Wide Field Camera 3 has only just begun taking pictures ...

Hubble space telescope unveils deepest view of galaxies yet Roughly 5,500 galaxies in 'eXtreme' deep field view Hubble space telescope scientists released the deepest view yet of the universe on ...

A view of Hubble's Ultra Deep Field, where several objects are identified as the faintest, most compact galaxies ever observed in the distant Universe.
