They make that claim right around the 3:11 mark, and frankly - I agree.

What do you think?

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3D

I don't know about the claim but it is pretty amazing. I feel a little smaller right now :)

Well, I don't know if it's the most important image but it is awesome (and I mean that literally, not as an overused synonym for 'good').

It could also be that they have found the Total Perspective Vortex. :lol:

Just the concepts of this are pretty awesome -- seeing more than we've ever seen, like looking at an image from an electron microscope for the first time. Good find, Chris!

Wow indeed....amazing what science can do :)

Oh, and I'll agree with the statement about the most important image taken. For so long, we've believe theory about something, and for the first time, we can see into deep, deep, deep space with this machine - can't wait until the new telescope is up there and built. But it will really help up understand the universe, galaxies, stars, our own sun and planets...

If you combine this with whatever we learn from CERN / and the new US facility and whoever re-creates the "God Particle", we'll definitely learn even more about how this all came to be :)

Thanks for the link, Chris

True....

That was an amazing video, quite fascinating that we can image objects so far away.

This one by Rosalind Franklin is more important in my opinion.

Yep, i agree! Although i prefer the original 2d version, but the 3D certainly reaches out and grabs your attention.

On reading the Topic title, i imediately though Hubble Ultra Deep Field, Hubble Deep Field holds a close second place IMO.

Really interesting to just think about that. How big and how endless it is out there.

Big, yes. Endless? Maybe not.
