the Hubble Space Telescope began pointing its camera at a small area in the night sky.





On September 3rd, 2003.

the Hubble Space Telescope began pointing its camera at a small area in the night sky.



The area, about a tenth the size of the full moon, appeared to be complete blackness with no stars visible to the naked eye.

Hubble kept its camera pointed there for over 4 months, taking in all the light it could.

This is what Hubble saw.

Each dot in, his image is an entire galaxy.
Each galaxy contains up to 1 trillion stars.
(1,000,000,000,000)
Each star may have a system of planets.

THERE ARE OVER 1O.000 GALAXIES IN THIS PHOTO ALONE. 
These are the most distant objects ever photogrophped More than 1 3 billion Light years away.

The large galaxy pictured here contains 8 times as many stars as our Milky Way Gabxy. It is so large. it technically shouldn't exist according to current physics theories.

The Backwards Moon🌒🌒 Triton orbits Neptune in what is known as a retrograde orbit. This means that it orbits Neptune a direction opposite the planet's rotation. It is the only large moon in the Solar System to do this. ... Some believe that it condensed this way from the original material of the early solar system. 👉 Follow @map_of_science_ for more scientific fact and information.
