For
10 days in 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope stared at a tiny patch of
space near the Plough constellation. It built up a time exposure image
showing thousands of galaxies, some so distant it takes 10 billion years
for light to reach us from them, travelling at almost 300,000 km per
second. In subsequent years, Hubble created further deep field images.
