Hubble deepest-ever view of the universe unveils myriad galaxies back to
the beginning of time
News story originally written on March 11, 1996
Several hundred never before seen galaxies are visible in this
"deepest-ever" view of the universe, called the Hubble Deep Field (HDF),
made with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Besides the classical spiral and
elliptical shaped galaxies, there is a bewildering variety of other
galaxy shapes and colors that are important clues to understanding the
evolution of the universe. Some of the galaxies may have formed less than
one billion years after the Big Bang.
