Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of our Universe (2018)

Grammy® award-winning American composer Eric Whitacre's symphonic work Deep Field was inspired by the world's most famous space observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and its greatest discovery - the iconic Deep Field image. The 2018 film - Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of our Universe - illuminates the score by combining Hubble's stunning imagery, including never-seen-before galaxy fly-bys

This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. The image required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble orbits around Earth. The total amount of exposure time was 11.3 days, taken between Sept. 24, 2003 and Jan. 16, 2004. Credit: NASA, ESA, and S. Beckwith (STScI) and the HUDF Team with bespoke animations to create an immersive, unforgettable journey from planet Earth to the furthest edges of our universe. The film is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Grammy® award-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre, producers Music Productions, scientists and visualizers from the Space Telescope Science Institute and multi award-winning artists 59 Productions. The score and film paint the incredible story of the Hubble Deep Field. Turning its gaze to a tiny and seemingly dark area of space (around one 24-millionth of the sky) for an 11-day long period, the Hubble Space Telescope revealed over 3,000 galaxies that had never previously been seen, each one composed of hundreds of billions of stars.

Fly to Maisie's Galaxy in this 3D visualization of a small portion of the CEERS (Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science) Survey from #JWST.

We travel about 200 million light-years into the data set each second and see 200 million years further into the past.

The video ends at a galaxy, named in honor of the Principal Investigator's daughter, which we see as it was 390 million years after the Big Bang, or about 13.4 billion years ago.

Many people have seen #Hubble’s deep fields and wondered if #JWST will also observe them.

Several groups of researchers are doing deep field programs with JWST, and some of those surveys do overlap with deep fields taken by Hubble.

And finally, I have a direct(-ish) comparison to show you. Here are the Hubble and JWST images of the Hubble Ultra Deep field.

You’ve been seeing a lot of amazing images of distant galaxies from the Webb Space Telescope lately. But let’s give a shoutout to the original deep field! In early 1996, astronomers unveiled Hubble’s view of a region of the sky that appeared empty to ground-based observatories. Within the image were hundreds of galaxies nearly four billion times fainter than the limits of human vision.

On a grainy black background, dozens of galaxies of various shapes, sizes, and colors are scattered. To the left of center, two blue spiral galaxies and one yellow spiral galaxy are particularly prominent. Only two stars are seen, one at top center and one just below and to the right of the yellow spiral. The stars both have four diffraction spikes.

Look at all of these adorable galaxies in this image from the #JWST Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science (PEARLS) team!

We are seeing thousands of galaxies over an enormous range in distance, some not previously detected by Hubble or the largest ground-based telescopes. Light from the most distant galaxies in the image traveled almost 13.5 billion years to reach us.

The main image is a field of hundreds of galaxies of various shapes, colors, and sizes. Most are small while a handful are somewhat larger. Some have disks or spiral arms. Some are symmetrical while others not. A few stars are also scattered across the image. Some have the Webb telescope’s characteristic 8 diffraction spikes, while others have additional spikes due to a combination of image exposures. Surrounding the main image are 19 boxes that show close up views of some of the objects of interest in the field. These include groups of galaxies, galaxies with disks and spiral arms, as well as foreground stars.
