Some of you may have heard that Hubble has returned a new Extreme Deep Field image of a portion of our sky. I have posted the image below and it's cool, but I've found that most people do not quite understand what they are seeing. I've included a video where a women explains what we are seeing in the image.

It's unreal how much stuff is in that image and that is such an extremely small portion of our sky.

I love space studies as well and I am still mind-blown by what all is out there and the size of it all. The photo above contains all kinds of awesome. Thanks!

..it captured such a tiny portion you could look in any direction and it'd be about the size of a grain of sand at your arm's length if we were to give it an approximation.
