    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deep_Fields

    The first deep-field image to receive a great deal of public attention was the Hubble Deep Field, observed in 1995 with the WFPC2 camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. Other space telescopes that have obtained deep-field observations include the Chandra X-ray Observatory , the XMM-Newton Observatory, the Spitzer Space Telescope , and the James ...

  3. Hubble Deep Field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Deep_Field

    The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. It covers an area about 2.6 arcminutes on a side, about one 24-millionth of the whole sky, which is equivalent in angular size to a tennis ball at a distance of 100 metres. [ 1 ]

  4. Webb's First Deep Field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webb's_First_Deep_Field

    Webb's First Deep Field was taken by the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and is a composite produced from images at different wavelengths, totalling 12.5 hours of exposure time. [3] [4] SMACS 0723 is a galaxy cluster visible from Earth's Southern Hemisphere, [5] and has often been examined by Hubble and other telescopes in search of ...

  5. Outer space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_space

    Deep space is defined by the United States government as all of outer space which lies further from Earth than a typical low-Earth-orbit, thus assigning the Moon to deep-space. [118] Other definitions vary the starting point of deep-space from, "That which lies beyond the orbit of the moon," to "That which lies beyond the farthest reaches of ...

  6. COSMOS field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSMOS_Field

    The COSMOS field was chosen to be the focal point of research due to its abundance of galaxies and other celestial bodies, and its scarcity of gas. The research from the project has been used to identify deep-space galaxies and their astrophysics. [2] The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) [3] [4] was a wide field observational astronomy project.

  7. Deep space exploration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_space_exploration

    Deep-space exploration is the branch of astronomy, astronautics, and space technology that is involved with exploring the distant regions of outer space. [1] However, little consensus has been reached on the meaning of "distant" regions. In some contexts, it is used to refer to interstellar space.

  8. Cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology

    The Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) was completed in September 2012 and shows the farthest galaxies ever photographed at that time. Except for the few stars in the foreground (which are bright and easily recognizable because only they have diffraction spikes), every speck of light in the photo is an individual galaxy, some of them as old as 13.2 billion years; the observable universe is ...

  9. Space research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_research

    Space research is scientific study carried out in outer space, and by studying outer space. From the use of space technology to the observable universe , space research is a wide research field . Earth science , materials science , biology , medicine , and physics all apply to the space research environment.
