of the universe unveils never before seen galaxies (click on image for full resolution version). This new image was acquired in late August 2009 by the Wide Field Camera 3 on the recently refurbished Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the same region of space as the Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 2004.Amazing bit: the cumulative exposure time for this image is 173,000 seconds over a four day period of time. And this:
"The faintest and reddest objects in the image are galaxies that formed 600 million years after the Big Bang."
