It's the farthest yet we've peered out into space!



Thank you.

"Called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by
combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a
patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The
XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full moon".
