Thanks for the heads up!

I have done a search on here, has the "Ultra deep field" picture ever been discussed on here in any detail?

I have been reading up in the detail on wikipedia, only covers 1 ,13 billionth of the sky the area of a grain of sand held at arms length and there are over 10,000 galaxies visible.

Totally shocking and amazing.

In case anyone hasn't seen the link, the HUDF is online here. It's 1/13millionth (1/13,000,000) of the total sky, not 1/13billionth, but still impressive. Alas I can't receive that channel I think!

I've seen the Hubble documentary and can highly recommend it. National geographic had it as part of their Space Week a few weeks ago along with a few other good documentaries.
