Image for Deep Field

Deep Field

A Deep Field is a long-exposure image taken by telescopes, like the Hubble Space Telescope, that captures a small region of the sky for an extended period. This allows astronomers to observe extremely faint and distant objects, revealing galaxies billions of light-years away. Essentially, it’s like looking carefully at a tiny patch of night sky to see numerous galaxies and understand the universe’s early history. Deep Fields help scientists study how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time, providing a glimpse into the universe’s vastness and its formative years.
