Augmented by a magnifying glass, we can see here reproduced on a slide, a photograph of the 3000 low-luminosity galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995 in a small dark part of the sky during a few days of exposure.
Known as Hubble Deep Field (or HDF) the image covers about one 24-millionth of the whole sky (a shirt button at a 25 metre distance) which corresponds here to the size of a slide of 1 x 1 cm.
