Description: The image, called the Hubble Deep Field (HDF), was assembled from 342 separate exposures taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) for ten consecutive days between December 18 and 28, 1995. Representing a narrow "keyhole" view stretching to the visible horizon of the universe, the HDF image covers a speck of the sky only about the width of a dime located 75 feet away. Though the field is a very small sample of the heavens, it is considered representative of the typical distribution of galaxies in space because the universe, statistically, looks largely the same in all directions. Gazing into this small field, Hubble uncovered a bewildering assortment of at least 1,500 galaxies at various stages of evolution. Nearly a year of preparation preceded the observation. The HDF team selected a piece of sky near the handle of the Big Dipper (part of the northern circumpolar constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear). The field is far from the plane of our Galaxy and so is "uncluttered" of nearby objects, such as foreground stars. The field provides a "peephole" out of the galaxy that allows for a clear view all the way to the horizon of the universe. Test exposures made in early 1995 with Hubble and the 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory also confirmed the field is devoid of large galaxy clusters, which would interfere with seeing farther and fainter objects. The target field is, by necessity, in the continuous viewing zone (CVZ) of Hubble's orbit, a special region where Hubble can view the sky without being blocked by Earth or interference from the Sun or Moon. The most common type of galaxy in the universe are (or 'were') small irregular objects called blue dwarfs. However, they were edited out. Produced by astronomers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Google: Hubble Deep Field Video Tape- A Journey Through Time and Space

volix16 ::: Favorites Yes, and since you can't comprehend such a thing happening you need to blame it on beings with magical powers that can create the universe we live in? Lmao... 07-08-01 15:01:45 _____________________________________________________

gluepower ::: Favorites Exactly. Science is Gods work itself. Whatever God truly is we will never come to understand. We can only have faith and know that a God truly exists and we are apart of his unending infinite universe. There is so much reality in the world, and we only whitness it on earth for the 70 or so years that we are alive? That seems unlikely. To say there is no God is completely absurd. 07-08-02 17:16:00 _____________________________________________________

volix16 ::: Favorites Lol, and how could god create the art of humans gathering knowledge based on a man-made method? The scientific method is obviously a product of human-kind. You can say that you have an idea that a god created factual reality, but you can't say it created the way that people gather the information. 07-08-03 03:24:39 _____________________________________________________

AtheistM ::: Favorites Maybe god is an evil being. Look at all the suffering of beings, all the emptiness of space, all the chaos and disaster in the universe. There's no way that an a kindly god would create such a mess. Why don't you have "faith" in an evil god, apart from the irrational wishful thinking that makes you want there to be a good one? 07-08-07 11:48:12 _____________________________________________________

LVL95ForumTroll ::: Favorites For by Jesus were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
