Hi. This is something I stumbled across this summer and recently came back to. I find it fascinating and figured maybe some of you would be interested in it as well if you haven't already seen it.

To borrow from the website, this image is the oldest and most comprehensive history book you will ever find (until they make a new one). Some of the galaxies present are 13.3 billion years old - and in total there are around 265,000 galaxies present in the picture.

The Hubble photo gallery is phenomenal. Really captivated me when I was a teenager, especially when I had a budding interest in astronomy.
