Doc Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Apparently it contains 5500 galaxies in that little slice of the night sky. Simply mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That really is an incredible thought provoking image. The idea that a similar number of galaxies are crammed into each tiny bit of sky almost everywhere you look is really humbling. If that is what Hubble can do with a 1990s 2.4 metre scope, then imagine what the James Webb might do with a 6.5 metre mirror and 2018 technology! Had a quick look to the bottom left of the moon last night for UDFy-38135539, but I think it was washed out by the moons glare :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
