The Other Hubble Ultra Deep Field (2013)

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF) is that awe-inspiring image we got back from the telescope when they pointed it at seemingly empty space. A color version of the UDF has been around since 2009. This is a similar image from nearly the same spot about one arcminute southeast and not overlapping. Only one filter was used so there is no way to generate a color image. Still, I think it’s quite nice in black and white.
