In early 2004, the Hubble Space Telescope (which turned 30 this year) gained iconic status by giving us the Hubble Ultra Deep ...

The image reveals over 2,500 galaxies, many of which are seen as they were during the first billion years of cosmic history.

The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which operates Webb, recently released an image of a planetary nebula known as ...

This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope revisits one of the most iconic regions of the sky, the Hubble ...

Over 20 years ago, the Hubble Space Telescope looked at a little patch of sky for days, with this methodical approach ...

In a recent breakthrough, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a joint mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), has provided extraordinary images that ...

The JWST imaged the Hubble Ultra Deep Field on its own for the first time in 2023 —- but, as Hayes' team writes in its research paper, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided a head start.

The image was taken in the same region as the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), which was in 2004, and it is the deepest visible-light image of the universe.

While a Roman ultra-deep field would be just as sharp as Hubble’s and peer equally far back in time, it could reveal an area 300 times larger, offering a much broader view of cosmic ecosystems.

Koekemoer presented the Roman ultra-deep field idea at the 237th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, on behalf of a group of astronomers spanning more than 30 institutions.

This image from 2009 shows an updated version of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The new eXtreme Deep Field could be considered a more detailed view of a portion of this image.
