The Hubble Space Telescope has been at work for almost three decades,
but it's still learning new skills — like how to squeeze an incredible
15,000 galaxies into a single image.


Images, descriptions, and useful links are at

The most distant galaxies aren't visible in the UV images. The new
UV images are still quite important, of course, which is why the
project was granted 132 orbits of HST time.

The scientific paper describing the images is at

I think much of the paper should be understandable by anyone
interested in details of the images. Actual FITS images and further
details are at
