The Hubble Deep Field, taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, is the "deepest ever" view of the universe, peeking into the farthest regions of space. This single image of the Hubble Deep Field was assembled by combining many smaller images. Many traditional galaxies, spiral and elliptical, are present in the image, but there are also a number of irregular galaxies in the far reaches of the universe. The distribution of galaxies in this image is thought to be representative of the distribution across the entire universe.
