From any point on Earth's surface, a clear night sky reveals a treasure trove of stars and deep-sky objects.
Through a powerful telescope, billions of objects become visible, from stars and nebulae to the galaxies beyond our own.
With the success of the Hubble deep fields in revealing distant, hitherto unseen galaxies, 2010 brought a new camera and a new ambition.
The installation of the Wide Field Camera 3 enabled simultaneously large, deep views of space as never before.
The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) began with this 2010 mosaic, which stitched together hundreds of images in visible and infrared light.

Lots of great photos. Don’t stop just because you hit an ad. The articles and photos continue for a while.
Can’t wait to see what the James Webb Telescope will do.
I look at even one picture of all those galaxies and am reminded how incredible our Creator is. We cannot even fathom His Power and Greatness.
Too awesome to comprehend.

Amen to that! Unless you’re an atheist, then it’s all just random bacteria or something.
“Then sings my soul my Savior God to thee
“How Great Thou Art!”
Images from the Webb Hubbel telescope are all blurred because it keeps rolling over.
Very well said. Given a future eternity in which to explore and learn of His Power and Greatness, among His innumerable virtues, I suggest we will never fully appreciate them.
WOW!
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is due to launch in 2018. It will primarily study infrared (IR) light and will have a huge sunshade to keep the telescope cold which is important for making infrared measurements.
The segmented mirror lens is 2.5 times larger in diameter, or about six times larger in area than Hubble’s primary lens. The IR Focal Plane Detector will be about 1,000 times more sensitive than Hubble in the IR spectrum. The overall weight of the telescope will be much lighter due to ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight mirror segments that were unavailable when Hubble was built.
Yes, seeing a picture of another galaxy 10 billion light years away is to much to comprehend. My childhood textbooks had blurry images of Saturn and Jupiter and we were amazed, and that wasn’t that long ago!
Certainly worth looking forward to. Let’s hope they don’t mess it up like they did the Hubble at first!
MtnClimber,
This is all fake. (Said with a calm voice.) No offense to you.
The Bible portrays our world as being enclosed in a vaulted dome. The Bible says our Creator made the stars and placed them in the dome.
In a world covered with a dome, there can be no Hubble telescope in orbit.
This business of trillions of distant stars light-years away is perhaps the biggest deception of all time. It is propaganda whose purpose is to hide our Creator.
Note the absence of a sarcasm tag.
This does nothing to make Muslims feel good about themselves.
I composed a bunch of replies to another post on the thread, and junked all of them. ‘How Great thou Art’ is a perfect encapsulation of where my heart was.
We have places to go and people to meet.
One of the things I mentioned was - looking at the Hubble image with hundreds of galaxies - it was like God was throwing His arms up saying “I love you THIS much!”
