  • The Hubble Deep Field, explained by the man who made it happen.

    If you hold a pin at arm’s length up in the air, the head of the pin covers approximately the amount of sky that appears in the Hubble Deep Field. The iconic 1995 image is crowded, not because it’s a broad swath of sky but because it’s a broad swath of time. The Hubble Deep Field is more than 12 billion light-years deep.
    Robert Williams was the director of the Hubble’s science institute back in 1995, and it was his decision to attempt a deep field observation with the telescope. Previous calculations had indicated that Hubble would not be able to detect very distant galaxies, but Williams figured they’d never know unless they tried.
    His team chose a completely dark part of the sky, in order to see beyond the stars of the Milky Way, and programmed Hubble to stare at that spot for 10 days. It was unusual to use precious observing time to point the telescope at nothing in particular, but that’s what they did.
    "We didn’t know what was there, and that was the whole purpose of the observation, basically - to get a core sample of the universe," Williams said, borrowing the concept of the "core sample" from the earth sciences.
    "You do the same thing if you're trying to understand the geology of the Earth: Pick some typical spot to drill down to try to understand exactly what the various layers of the Earth are and what they mean in terms of its geologic history."
    What makes the Hubble Deep Field an atypical core sample is that rather than observing the material as it is now, the telescope collected images of galaxies as they appeared millions and billions of years ago. Since light can only travel so fast, the telescope is a peephole into the history of the universe.

      I read somewhere that the reason we are not seeing other signs of life on other planets is because they're too far away. Like withthe light of stars that we see at night. The light we see is the from millions of years ago, it took that long for the light to reach us. Now if some other species saw our planet in their time they are actually seeing the Earth millions of years ago. Now Kepler, a planet we deemed suitable for life, is 1291 lightyears away. We don't know if life already exists there since the planet we are seeing is an old image of itself. I don't know if this is correct lol but it sounds about right. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

      This is how I see it. Space also spans across time. If the beginning of our galaxy is the length of a shoe, the existence of Earth until its demise is about a width of a hair. So even if a galaxy has a planet that can sustain life, it would need to during our planet's lifetime. I remembered this analogy a long time ago so not exactly sure if the shoe was used but point is, our time of existence needs to match theirs and space is very old.

      While I agree that its arrogant for humans to think we're special, its however true that no sign of life has ever been found outside of Earth. This still confounds researchers to this day. It should then be noted that until life has been discovered, we cant be arrogant in a different way and assume there is life other than us. Avoiding assumptions is the best way to avoid being an annoyingly arrogant person.

      So true. I definately believe that there are other planets the sustain life and possible we've looked at one at one point but we could never see anything since light travel is an actual thing. The moment that we may see life on another planet they would probably have advanced a lot. Same counts for us. Maybe some other planet has technology the same as ours or even mkre powerful with the ability to see present time. We just can't communicate.

In 1996, when I first saw the deep field, I was overwhelmed by the time that we could view. That those little light particles landed on Hubble to reveal so much of what our universe is, was massive. To this day, I contemplate that image on a regular basis.

    These Hubble Deep Field and Ultra Deep Field images may logically be argued to be the most important images ever taken. They indicate, amongst many other things, that the number of galaxies in the visible universe is approximately 200 billion. This estimate has recently been revised upward to far more galaxies, with each galaxy typically having a hundred billion or hundreds of billions of stars. The numbers are mind-boggling and have major implications in many fields.

    In case anybody cares, the star located at ra 5h 55m 10s dec +7° 24' 26" is Betelgeuse, which most people would recognize as Orion's shoulder.

      Hubble begun production in 1978 and launched in 1990.
      $2,000,000,000 in 1978 is roughly $7,388,128,834.36 now (2016)
      That's $615,677,402.86 every year.
      That's $51,306,450.23 every month.
      That's $1,686,787.40 every day.
      It's easy to see why people were pissed off when you see the numbers, more so you have to consider this telescope was unlike anything that anybody had ever seen before. The tax-payer had no idea of its benefits and as far as they were concerned NASA was just throwing $7,388,128,834.36 into space for no beneficial reason.
      It's easier for us to understand and accept Hubble's worth/cost/value as we have grown up with its existence and amazing results.

    Anyone interested in this story, the Hubble telescope, or space travel in general would do well to look up a copy of IMAX Hubble, an imax film shot mostly by the astronauts on the first mission to fix the telescope after it went up. It's narrated by Leonardo Dicaprio. It's a really, really incredible film that changed the way I looked at outer space.

      "The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death---however mutable man may be able to make them---our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."

    One can only stare at these amazing images with complete awe. As Douglas Adams once said: The Universe is big, very very BIG. So big in fact that the mind has quite a bit of difficulty in envisaging it and fully comprehending its incredible vastness. For all intents and purposes, it is indeed endless.

    I love the shots like at 4:51 showing a moving scene through galactic areas. I get so astonished of the fact there are literally TRILLIONS of galaxies. Absolutely NO DOUBT there are other intelligent civilizations out there.

    If you think about it, all we are is atoms. And these faraway galaxies are basically atoms too. And so is everything in between, and beyond.
    We may all feel separated, but we are all connected. We are one.
    We are all the universe.

      ^^^ no the lack of air is not a lack of everything. there is vast quantities of energy in the vacuum. also, it's not that large when give context towards the comparison. an atom is very similar. in a football field if you put a golfball in the centre, you can pretend it is the proton, if you put a grain of rice at the outside boundary, that is the electron. a molecule is nearly entirely empty space, if you put it next to other molecules, you have a similar size ratio to the universe. his comparison is very accurate. most solids are not solid at all. they are made up of the forces that keep the molecule separated just like the ones in the vacuum of space

      it wasn't slowed down the astronauts and shuttle were just orbiting at the same speed.

    • @Tsar_Waddles

      Yup there is no resistance in space, so objects move incredibly fast around large objects that produce a large gravitational acceleration.

    • @penitent2401
      @penitent2401 7 років тому +34

      can't slow it down, the orbit is established to keep it in place around the Earth, it was moving that fast to keep it relatively close to the Earth . the closer the orbit is to the Earth the faster it has to move to balance out the Earth's gravity pulling it in. it is a precise balance, if it's moving too slow then gravity will pull it crashing back down to Earth, if too fast then it escapes the Earth's gravity and fly off.
      In comparison, geosynchronous satellites (those that stays above a fixed point on the Earth) has to orbit much further out as one orbit must match Earth's one day.

    A true pioneer, Hubble is the only telescope designed to be maintained by astronauts in space-and it’s spent the past three decades tirelessly roaming the universe, beaming down moment after moment of extraterrestrial grandeur.
