I'm sure some have seen this before but I think it's worth posting.

Links to the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Except for five stars, every point of light in the photograph is a galaxy or a forming galaxy. There's 10,000 objects there, and it represents 1 ten-millionth of the sky. This is the furthest back in time we've seen, the oldest object in the image being only 800 million years removed from the estimated time of the big bang.

Not for the weak of computer though, it's a 6200x6200 JPG. 100+MB of free memory required to view.
