From any point on Earth’s surface, a clear night sky reveals a treasure trove of stars and deep-sky objects. Through a powerful telescope, billions of objects become visible, from stars and nebulae to the galaxies beyond our own. With the success of the Hubble deep fields in revealing distant, hitherto unseen galaxies, 2010 brought a new camera and a new ambition. The installation of the Wide Field Camera 3 enabled simultaneously large, deep views of space as never before. Bright objects with diffraction spikes are stars within our own galaxy; everything else imaged is a galaxy beyond our own.
