the first galaxies

Ultra Deep IR Image

Deep NICMOS Parallel Image to the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. This Region of the Sky Contains the Deepest Optical and Near-Infrared Images Ever Taken of the Universe and is useful for finding star-forming galaxies at redshifts 7 and 10 (700 and 400 million years after the Big Bang, respectively). At UCSC, we are using these data to better understand the properties of the first galaxies.
