History Revealed: More than 12 billion years of cosmic history are shown in this panoramic, full-color view of thousands of galaxies.


As usual, I sadly have to urge you to CLICK to access better view of this. But here's some explanation:

"This image, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, was made from mosaics taken in September and October 2009 with the newly installed Wide Field Camera 3 and in 2004 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and covers a portion of the southern field of a large galaxy census called the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, a deep-sky study by several observatories to trace the evolution of galaxies."
