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.
