The Hubble Space Telescope, with its new Advanced Camera for Surveys (five times more powerful than its previous camera) and with the aid of an immense group of galaxies acting as a gravitational lens, has taken a picture of what may be the deepest view of the universe ever seen. As Nature reports, astronomers think they may have spotted galaxies 13 billion light years away, from when the universe was only 2 billion years old. “The simulation of what this would look like was incredible, but this is even more spectacular,” said Richard White of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. “It’s an astonishing image.”
