BA Blog: Voyaging deep into the Universe
Quote:
The European Southern Observatory just released a picture that I can only call astonishing: the deepest ground-based look into the universe ever undertaken [ESO press release]. It’s part of the Chandra (X-Ray Observatory) Deep Field South, an effort to map out distant regions of the Universe across the entire spectrumwith incredible resolution and depth.
The image is mostly in the near ultraviolet, or UV. It’s a total of 55 hours of observations.

Edit: And, now I see Fraser's already covered it in Universe Today, with link in topic
Deepest Ultraviolet Image Shows a Sea of Distant Galaxies, that didn't get hit in any of my pre-posting searches. Oh, well. It's still pretty.
