You're listening to 13 billion years' worth of data. 👂 The galaxies in this Hubble Ultra Deep Field image from 2014 are represented in sound! We hear a note for each galaxy when it emitted the light captured in this image; the farther the galaxy, the longer it took for its light to reach Hubble. #DeepFieldWeek You can learn more about this sonification in a recent episode from NASA’s Curious Universe!

The Hubble Space Telescope is well known for its picturesque views of nebulae and galaxies, but it’s also useful for studying our own planets, including Mars. Hubble snapped a close-up of the Red Planet ahead of its opposition on May 22. That means that the sun and mars will be on exact opposite sides of the Earth. Hubble’s view reveals Mars as a dynamic seasonal planet with bright, frosty polar caps and clouds above a vivid, rust-colored landscape. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/1TjWUVV | NASA - N

⏪ Back in time. Hubble deep fields are like time machines that allow us to peer back in time to some of the earliest moments in our universe. Because the light we see here took billions of years to reach us, we see these galaxies as they were billions of years ago. This “fly-through” of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field represents one of the deepest views of our cosmos. Hubble’s spectacular technology reveals this breathtaking portrait featuring galaxies of all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages, includi
