A much better and newer image looking deep into our universe, exposed over 11.3 total days at a spot "1/10th the diameter of the full moon" or like "peering through an 8-foot long straw" pointed at a part of the sky that is--as far as we can see--totally black. There are over 10,000 entire galaxies in this image, some of them over 13 billion years old, and their light is just reaching us.

This is sort of a follow-up to my upload of the original HDF image, which isn't very high quality. Take a look/read comments here.
