the deepest portrait of the visible universe ever achieved by 
humankind. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), the 
million-second-long exposure reveals the first galaxies to emerge 
from the so-called "dark ages," the time shortly after the big bang 
when the first stars reheated the cold, dark universe. The new 
image should offer new insights into what types of objects 
reheated the universe long ago.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2004/07/"><P>Searching for the faintest objects in the Ultra Deep Field is 
like trying to find a firefly on the Moon. Light from the 
farthest objects reached the Hubble telescope in trickles 
rather than gushers. The orbiting observatory collected one 
photon of light per minute from the dimmest objects. 
Normally, the telescope collects millions of photons per 
minute from nearby galaxies.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2004/07/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/hubblesite.org/img/9B139E3D-CED8-4042-A382-1D6085C48B63" alt="Hubble's Deepest View Ever of the Universe Unveils Earliest Galaxies" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F89C3587-6D80-4799-A6B8-E6BB783F7DBD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
