As always, the deep field boggles the mind.

Of course within the Hubble Deep Field we're seeing a succession of square images, beginning from very tiny (grain of sand at arm's length size) to enormous (millions of light years across) at the distant end.

The XDF image separated into three planes. Fully mature galaxies are in the foreground plane. The universe is rich in evolving, nearly mature galaxies from 5 to 9 billion years ago. Beyond 9 billion years the universe is awash in compact galaxies and proto-galaxies, blazing with young stars.
