HUBBLE ULTRA DEEP FIELD13 billion light-years This view made with the Hubble Space Telescope is the farthest we have yet seen with visible light. Using an exposure time of over 11 days, Hubble has recorded objects of 30th magnitude, a hundred million times fainter than can be seen with the naked eye. The most distant galaxies are seen as they were a few hundred million years after the big bang, and show surprising similarities to the galaxies of today.
