Filled under: ,




  Between September 2003 and January 2004, the Hubble Space Telescope took the longest ever exposure of the sky in the history of astronomy-more than 270 hours. Based on the number of galaxies visible in this spectacular image-dubbed the Hubble Ultra Deep Field-scientists estimate that with the technology available today some 50 billion galaxies can be observed.
