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.
