Hubble's Spectacular Wide View of the Universe

This Hubble Space Telescope image represents a portion of the Hubble Legacy Field, one of the widest views of the universe ever made.

The image, a combination of thousands of snapshots, represents 16 years' worth of observations.

The Hubble Legacy Field includes observations taken by several Hubble deep-field surveys, including the eXtreme Deep Field (XDF), the deepest view of the universe. The wavelength range stretches from ultraviolet to near-infrared light, capturing all the features of galaxy assembly over time. This cropped image mosaic presents a wide portrait of the distant universe and contains roughly 200,000 galaxies. They stretch back through 13.3 billion years of time to just 500 million years after the universe's birth in the big bang.

InstrumentACS/WFC, WC3/IR, WFC3/UVIS
FiltersWFC3/UV (F225W, F275W, and F336W); ACS (F435W, F606W, F775W, F814W, and F850LP); WFC3/IR (F098M, F105W, F125W, F140W, and F160W)
About The Image
Color InfoThese images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample broad and narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F606W (Wide V) Green: F606W (Wide V) and F850LP (SDSS z') Red: F850LP (SDSS z') The Hubble Legacy Field dataset has images from all three of Hubble's cameras — the WFC3/IR and WFC3/UVIS cameras as well as the ACS.
