>Gazing deep into the universe, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spied a
>menagerie of galaxies. Located within the same tiny region of space,
>these numerous galaxies display an assortment of unique characteristics.
>Some are big; some are small. A few are relatively nearby, but most are
>far away. Hundreds of these faint galaxies have never been seen before
>until their light was captured by Hubble.
>
>This image is a composite of multiple exposures of a single field taken
>by the Advanced Camera for Surveys. The image, taken in September 2003,
>was a bonus picture, taken when one of the other Hubble cameras was
>snapping photos for a science program. This image took nearly 40 hours
>to complete and is one of the longest exposures ever taken by Hubble.
