The Hubble site itself has zoomable images. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/01
It wasn’t till the 1930s that we found that the universe consisted of more than just our galaxy. Its entirely possible that we’ll one day find that our universe is one of many that are part of something more.
"The heavens declare the glory of God"
Gotta watch this mic!
Hey! This can’t be! The Left says there Ain’t NO GOD! This all happened from a BIG Bang from Nothing! And that every beautiful living creation just evolved from nothing! BullCrap!
I'm all for "big".... REALLY REALLY B I G !!!
Amen....INFINITY!! God is INFINITE!
>>> If you have trouble wrapping your head around the concept of infinity and a universe that is expanding “into something”
Suppose you lived inside a balloon. As the balloon inflated, how could you imagine what outside space it expands into.

Bookmarking for when I get home to view on something other than a work connection that blocks all the content on the target site.
Or...from a Suess-ish viewpoint, we examine atoms - which it is agreed have particles orbiting nucleii. What if our universe constitutes the atoms of an even larger creation. Do I hear a Who?
A whole new perspective.
Thanks for the great post!
"The Hubble Ultra Deep Field, or HUDF, is an image of a small region of space in the constellation Fornax, composited from Hubble Space Telescope data accumulated over a period from September 24, 2003 through January 16, 2004. It is the deepest image of the universe ever taken in visible light, looking back approximately 13 billion years, and it will be used to search for galaxies that existed between 400 and 800 million years after the Big Bang.The HUDF image was taken in a section of the sky with a low density of bright stars in the near-field, allowing much better viewing of dimmer, more distant objects. The image contains an estimated 10,000 galaxies.
Located southwest of Orion in the Southern-Hemisphere constellation Fornax, the image covers 11.0 square arcminutes. This is just one-tenth the diameter of the full moon as viewed from Earth, smaller than a 1 mm by 1 mm square of paper held 1 meter away, and equal to roughly one thirteen-millionth of the total area of the sky. The image is oriented such that the upper left corner points toward north (-46.4°) on the celestial sphere."

I'm listening to Rush right now, so I haven't watched the visuals, yet.
How absolutely awesome our Creator and His works are!

BTW, this brings to mind my "stock" question: "How many galaxies could Moses see?"
And, despite my current 110% work overload, it compels me toward resuming effort on my "Universal Now" and "Centrism" graphic discourses...
As a Hubble and APOD “buff”, I thank you very much for this link!!!
