Looking Deep into the Past

The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky proclaims its builder's craft.
One day to the next conveys that message; one night to the next imparts that knowledge.

Psalm 19:2-3

The Hubble Space Telescope's Ultra-Deep Field imagery was released today, showing humankind's deepest view in space and time of the universe to date. The image includes light emitted from objects when the universe was just 400 million years old. The current age of the universe has been determined to be approximately 13.7 billion years.
