New Hubble Ultra Deep Field In Infrared

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday December 9, 2009 @04:40AM from the look-into-my-eyes dept.

Hynee writes "Just in time for Christmas, HubbleSite has released a Hubble Ultra Deep Field redux. The original was in visible light; this version, five years on, is in infrared (1.05, 1.25 and 1.6 um). The observation is in support of the upcoming JWST, which will observe exclusively in infrared, but the newly installed WFC3 does seem to provide some extra resolution over the 2004 visible observations with WFC2."

Your girlfriends name is Hubble too? What are the odds.

It is so nice God took the time to make these Galaxies so we could have light at night. A couple more moons probably would have been easier though.
