The Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (HXDF), released on September 25, 2012, is an image of a portion of space in the center of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image. Representing a total of two million seconds (about 23 days) of exposure time collected over 10 years, the image covers an area of 2.3 arcminutes by 2 arcminutes, [ 18 ] or about 80% of the ...
The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. It covers an area about 2.6 arcminutes on a side, about one 24-millionth of the whole sky, which is equivalent in angular size to a tennis ball at a distance of 100 metres. [ 1 ]
The first deep-field image to receive a great deal of public attention was the Hubble Deep Field, observed in 1995 with the WFPC2 camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. Other space telescopes that have obtained deep-field observations include the Chandra X-ray Observatory , the XMM-Newton Observatory, the Spitzer Space Telescope , and the James ...
Astronomers used exposures taken by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), installed in 2009, to assemble the eXtreme Deep Field snapshot in 2012. Unlike previous Hubble cameras, the telescope's WFC3 covers a broader wavelength range, from ultraviolet to near-infrared. This new image mosaic is the first in a series of Hubble Legacy Field images.

NICMOS was installed on Hubble during its second servicing mission in 1997 along with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, replacing two earlier instruments.. NICMOS in turn has been largely superseded by the Wide Field Camera 3, which has a much larger field of view (135 by 127 arcsec, or 2.3 by 2.1 arcminutes), and reaches almost as far into the in
UDF 423 is the spiral galaxy in the lower right quadrant of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. UDF 423 is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF) identifier for a distant spiral galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 20, [ 1 ] UDF 423 is one of the brightest galaxies in the HUDF and also has one of the largest apparent sizes in the HUDF.
UDFy-38135539 (also known as "HUDF.YD3") is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF) identifier for a galaxy which was calculated as of October 2010 to have a light travel time of 13.1 billion years [2] with a present proper distance of around 30 billion light-years.
