Have you ever wondered what the universe looked like when it was young?
How did the first galaxies form and evolve over billions of years?
Join us on a spectacular journey through the CANDELS Ultra Deep Survey Field, one of the most comprehensive and detailed surveys of distant galaxies ever conducted by the Hubble Space Telescope.
In this video, you will see a stunning 3D visualization of the varied appearances and distributions of galaxies in the deep field, from a dense cluster of galaxies 6 billion light-years away to the faintest and most ancient galaxies more than 12 billion light-years away.
You will also learn about the scientific goals and discoveries of the CANDELS project, which stands for Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey.
This project is a collaboration of hundreds of astronomers from around the world, who have used Hubble’s infrared vision to study the cosmic history of galaxy formation and evolution.
This video is based on real data and images from Hubble, and was created by NASA, ESA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
