Hubble's UItra Deep Field in 3D is an amazing journey through space and time

The Hubble Space Telescope's Ultra Deep Field imagery peers 12 billion light-years away from Earth to the early Universe. The team at the Space Telescope Science Institute has created an amazing look at the past in this 3D visualization.

I need to watch this every day, to remind myself that EVERYTHING is simultaneously precious and insignificant.

The zoom out at the end is so incredibly profound. The number of galaxies in the deep field patch is already mind-boggling, but the added fact that there are quite literally millions of these patches in our sky really puts things into perspective...

Imagine what James Webb Space Telescope is going to show us next!

It's healthy to come here to this video from time to time

[aandc]

This is hands down the best space imagining I have ever seen! This a masterpiece!

[jasonwebb]

I remember that there were so many people upset about this. They thought it was a waste of time and a waste of money to see absolutely nothing!!!! Not going to lie, I was one of the people saying it was stupid. Nope, what was stupid, it was us telling them for a week and a half they were dumb and wasn't going to see anything!!! We couldn't have been so far from the truth. This photo changed everything that we knew at the time. This is why getting the James Webb telescope in orbit is so important. It hopefully will unlock so much more for us.

Congratulations to the whole team. A wonderful and touching masterpiece.

thanks, NASA! my music is part of this wonderful project!

[emilialuisagiacomini]

This video moved me. The music is perfectly matched.. Wonderful. Thank you so much for having posted it.

Mind-blowing, euphoric, spiritual, wholesome, and soothing.

You need to imagine how massive the cosmos is to hold all this stuff, billions of galaxies, that are billions/millions of light years apart. For me that is truly mind blowing. It hurts my head every time I think about it.

[jasperstone]

The mind blowing thing about this is that's only a one direction image. We could still aim the telescope up or down or even turn it around and see what's behind us. That's the amazing thing about that photo.

And I’d say the chances are almost 100% that someone in 1 of those 100 billion galaxies is looking back at us wondering if they’re alone in the universe.

[SophiaAphrodite]

In that single shot in time. Imagine how many species have came into existence and gone extinct in just those galaxies alone. Likely millions.

Mesmerizing music to go with a very informative video. We are only here for a split second of "Space Time", so live each day to it's fullest with love for everyone. Peace.

Hubble was very generous to humanity. With a small mirror has shown us all that beauty.

[testtest-lcxz]

I'm not sure why, but this made me feel emotional. I imagine there must be intelligent beings in at least some of these galaxies. Maybe some even resemble humans and live in shelters resembling houses, care deeply about their children, grieve when a friend or loved-one dies, and have hopes, dreams, and fears just like we do.

[janwilliams]

I saw this incredible picture of space a bunch of years ago but didn't know then how small a section of the sky it was. It is such a tiny, tiny portion of our universe. It amazes me every time I look at it.

Amazing how small the human ego is in the greatness of the cosmos. Great video ✨

[daniellebcooper]

Even after watching this, I still can't fathom the vastness of space. Though some time in the future, kids will look at a planet in the cosmos, as we look at a city on a globe of the Earth.
Thank you for making this possible.
