One of Hubble’s greatest legacies is its deep field images. But as much as we’ve learned from them, the deep field story is only beginning.

When it launches later this year, @NASAWebb’s powerful infrared capabilities will provide deep and extraordinary views of our universe
Webb will detect “baby galaxies” and take us to within a stone’s throw of the Big Bang to observe the early universe: go.nasa.gov/3fDTzQM

Later this decade, @NASARoman will survey the universe and take staggering observations of wide swathes of space. Imagine dozens of Hubble deep fields in a single image!

Time for a trip down memory lane…

First up, we have the original Hubble Deep Field. Imaged in 1995, it took 10 days of exposure time to capture. In it, we could see about 3,000 galaxies! (Portion below)

In 2003 and 2004, Hubble captured a million-second-long exposure to create the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image, which contains about 10,000 galaxies! 🤯
A new camera on Hubble called the Advanced Camera For Surveys made it possible to get such a deep, intricate view.

Later, to create the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field, Hubble revisited the same patch of sky over a decade for a total of 50 days!
One of the coolest parts? The universe is 13.7 billion years old, and this image spans 13.2 billion years of galaxy development.
