An image of about ten thousand galaxies is called: "Hubble's vast deep field". The image includes galaxies of a variety of ages, sizes, shapes and colors. About 800 of the small red galaxies may be the most distant galaxies to be seen. They were created when the universe was 13 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the luminosities with a distinct spiral or ellipse shape - are about a billion light-years away, when the universe was 800 billion years old. The image required 400 exposures taken during Hubble's 11.3 orbits around the Earth. The total exposure time was 24 days, between September 2003, 16 and January 2004, XNUMX. Photo: NASA, ESA, and S.
