Just look at what Hubble’s new camera can do!

Astronomers aimed Hubble at the same region of the sky as the famous Deep Field image taken in 2004.  This time around they used the WFC3 camera which can see in the near infrared allowing an even deeper look into the universe.

Click the image for a larger version, the faintest and reddest galaxies were formed just 600 million years after the Big Bang – Hubble’s deepest look into the past so far.
