A new image from Hubble - the eXtreme (sic) Deep Field image shows 5500 galaxies within an area of sky 2.3 by 2 arcmin and used a total exposure time of 22.5 days.

I still prefer the Shelley Deep Field image (total exposure time 2.16 days)  :cheesy:

Wow!

There are some very odd shaped galaxies in there too.

hang on, it's that one of Fays? I can't believe Hubble would post one of Fays pictures as theirs!
