The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3D

I’ve recently discovered an animation that was rendered using the measured redshift of all 10,000 galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image.

I’ve written a short script that leads you through a quick history of both deep field images and this video ends with a fly-through of the Ultra Deep Field.

Every galaxy in the image is in its proper distance as viewed from the telescope line of sight.

As if this image wasn’t amazing enough.

    A nice reminder to look up once in a while.

    Let me see… 100 billion galaxies in the universe, 14 trillion in under writing of US financial institutions, thats 140 dollars for every galaxy in the universe. Either the US and the world are in big trouble or the universe in not so big after all, take your pick.

    I’d love to hear what folks who believe that the earth is less than 10,000 year old say when they watch a video like this.
