July 6, 20205 yr So yeah...... I read about this image, that was so gigantic, it was crashing peoples computers just trying to open it....... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!! 😱 I was actually disappointed that the full-sized image opened easily with no apparent problems, but I was interested to see if other people had different results....... Something silly to try on a lazy covid Monday. https://hubblesite.org/image/4492/news About this image Hubble's Wide View of the Evolving Universe This Hubble Space Telescope image represents the largest, most comprehensive "history book" of galaxies in the universe. The image, a combination of nearly 7,500 separate Hubble exposures, represents 16 years' worth of observations. The ambitious endeavor, called the Hubble Legacy Field, includes several Hubble deep-field surveys, including the eXtreme Deep Field (XDF), the deepest view of the universe. The wavelength range stretches from ultraviolet to near-infrared light, capturing all the features of galaxy assembly over time. The image mosaic presents a wide portrait of the distant universe and contains roughly 265,000 galaxies. They stretch back through 13.3 billion years of time to just 500 million years after the universe's birth in the big bang. The tiny, faint, most distant galaxies in the image are similar to the seedling villages from which today's great galaxy star-cities grew. The faintest and farthest galaxies are just one ten-billionth the brightness of what the human eye can see. The wider view contains about 30 times as many galaxies as in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, taken in 2004. The new portrait, a mosaic of multiple snapshots, covers almost the width of the full Moon. Lying in this region is the XDF, which penetrated deeper into space than this legacy field view. However, the XDF field covers less than one-tenth of the full Moon's diameter.

July 6, 20205 yr Hubble has given us so many wonderfully dramatic pictures. But none are more intellectually amazing for me than two apparently unassuming, almost bland, ones : the UDF and XDF. Looking forward to the first long distance shots of the Webb, hopefully launched next year. Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam Â
