the HUDF

a look of deep space

Astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute today unveiled the deepest portrait of the visible universe ever achieved by humankind. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), the million-second-long exposure reveals the first galaxies to emerge from the so-called dark ages, the time shortly after the big bang when the first stars reheated the cold, dark universe.
