HST deep-view of several very distant galaxies
Distant galaxies. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) deep-view image of several thousand never-before seen extremely distant galaxies. This is the deepest view yet into the universe. The most distant of these galaxies are around 12 billion light years away, meaning their light has travelled across about three-quarters of the known universe to reach Earth. These galaxies lie in the southern constellation Tucana. This image, the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S), was produced by the Hubble Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) after a ten-day exposure in October 1998

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible depth and vastness of our universe. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), it reveals a deep-view image of several thousand never-before-seen extremely distant galaxies. This remarkable snapshot represents the deepest view into space ever captured. Located in the southern constellation Tucana, these galaxies are situated around 12 billion light years away from Earth. To put this distance into perspective, their light has traversed approximately three-quarters of the known universe to reach us. The sheer magnitude of this journey is awe-inspiring. The image itself, known as the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S), was created through a ten-day exposure in October 1998 using the Hubble Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). Its high-resolution detail allows us to marvel at each individual galaxy within its frame. This mesmerizing photograph serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our place in the cosmos. It reminds us that there is so much more out there waiting to be discovered and understood. With every new glimpse into these distant realms, we gain further insights into the mysteries of astronomy and cosmology. Science Photo Library presents this extraordinary piece, offering an opportunity for all who encounter it to embark on a visual journey through time and space – an exploration that expands our understanding of existence itself.
