This image combines Hubble observations taken over the past decade of a small patch of sky in the constellation of Fornax.May 11, 2019, 9:59 AM UTCAstronomers have created the most detailed picture yet of our evolving universe. The eye-popping image, stitched together from thousands of individual photographs taken by the, shows more than a quarter of a million galaxies — or about 30 times more galaxies than previous “deep field” photos.
Dubbed the Hubble Legacy Field, the mosaic photo offers not only a detailed look at a tiny patch of sky in the Fornax constellation but also a look back in time. “The galaxies are scattered across time, from 550 million years ago to 13 billion years ago,” Garth Illingworth, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the leader of the team that created the image, told NBC News MACH in an email. “Their light is just arriving at Earth now, after crossing space for billions of years.”, which occurred an estimated 13.8 billion years ago.
The mosaic documents 16 years of observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. The image represents 13.3 billion years of time, stretching back to just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
