Hubble Deep Field
(HDF, HDF-N, Hubble Deep Field North)
(highly-detailed image of a small region of the sky taken with HST)
The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region of
the sky (a survey field, within the constellation Ursa Major)
taken over a very long exposure, using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST),
aiming to image as distant galaxies as possible.
The HDF was an experiment and not everyone anticipated it would be
worth HST's valuable time, but its data did support much useful
scientific study.
This subsequent study included observation of the same region with
in other EMR bands (radio, infrared, etc.)
for additional understanding of the imaged objects.
With the HDF's value established, similar efforts have been
carried out (some with the HST and some with other telescopes)
for other portions of the sky, including the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) in 1998,
the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) in 2003/2004, and the Hubble Extreme Deep Field
in 2012.
