Insane Hubble Image Shows 265,000 Galaxies.

We couldn't post this on our social media as the compression simply wouldn't do it justice.

Since the year 1990, The Hubble Telescope has been serving out steaming hot dishes of interstellar delights to which we had never seen.

But this latest image is something in a league of its own entirely...

A patchwork of deep field images showing off 265,000 galaxies and stretching back billions of years.

The above is a patchwork of deep field images named The Legacy Field, showing off 265,000 galaxies and light stretching back billions of years.

The galaxies shown are from 13.3 billion years ago to a time when our universe was just 500 million years young. 

To get an image like this you need 16 years, and obviously the Hubble Telescope to generate over 7,500 exposures.

For a more detailed projection of the scale you're looking at, check out this video below and don't forget to share to spread ARSE.
