I should be a little more in awe than I am, but we've seen similar images before. Still there's more info at io9 and the Hubblesite.
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

This spectacular image is the deepest view of the Universe ever captured
This spectacular image is the deepest view of the Universe ever captured. "Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope have just released the most detailed view of the early Universe ever captured. It's called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF for short. The image combines over ten years' worth of photographs by Hubble. It required 2-million seconds of exposure time to produce, and contains over 5,500 of the Universe's most ancient galaxies."

I should be a little more in awe than I am, but we've seen similar images before. Still there's more info at io9 and the Hubblesite.
