Meet the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field Observing Team

Thanks, everyone for your wonderful comments. Many of them were answered "on-air." If you missed it, you can watch the archived YouTube broadcast!

@MarkElowitz: This question was raised immediately after the presenters' individual discussions of the XDF. You can review the archived YouTube video for the discussion.

And the James Webb Space Telescope will be our Infrared Eyes to that future, and looking back toward the beginning of the universe!

In this rendering of the XDF, objects that are seen only in the infrared are in red. Astronaut Jane will not see the very red objects unless they are also visible optical wavelengths.

And, unfortunately, they also blink every few seconds, so, they won't see nearly as deep as the combined long-exposure images.

Astronauts will see the colors that are in the visible part of the spectrum, but are unable to see images from the Infrared.

EXCELLENT DISCUSSION. Garth has said , with JWST, we may see first start/supernova, but important goal of mankind is to find intelligent life, that requires finding earth like planet in this galaxy or very difficult in other galaxies, infact singling out star from other galaxy is difficult. GOD has created human being with limitation that we cannot find other civilised life. That is a interlocking and upper limits of human intelligence.

Absolutely excellent!

Could you have achieved these results in a smaller time fram if you were not using Ansel Adams F64 aperture?

Super great show! You must do this more often! And meeting "the people behind the pictures " is a big deal to me!

Menarik sekali videonya....!

Has the age of the universe been changed in the scientific community by the quality of the telescope used to view the universe? Do you expect the age of the universe to change by future optics? If we are able to see galaxies whose light has taken 13 billion years to get to us I wonder how far away they are now or if they even exist by the time their light was gathered by Hubble?

I really loved the photo and the 3D rendition. But I would really wish for smoother renderings. It feels a bit like watching a stop motion movie and is such a shame for pictures that has taken so much hard work to produce and that really have the potential to inspire like no pictures ever before.

Fantastic video and format! Really appreciate you guys doing this. :)

amazing hypotheses. they have no idea if this is true, they are just guessing.

Extraordinary accomplishment and webinar...
