A Journey to the Edge of the Universe
What happens when you point the Hubble Space Telescope to a seemingly empty patch of sky? You get a view that takes you to the edge of the Universe! Despite showing just a tiny patch of sky, this photograph contains around 10,000 galaxies, some of which are over 13 billion light years from Earth!
