In a similar vein, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field shot is totally mindblowing. Most of the specks of light in these shots are galaxies, ancient ones, from the dawn of the universe, when it was less than a billion years old.

The area the UDF photographed occupies a tiny, tiny proportion of the sky - about 11 square arcminutes. The whole of the sky is over 2,400,000 square arcminutes (or just over 41,000 sqaure degrees). The scope of the universe is so so so freaking cool!
