With the advent of the Hubbard deep field images, cosmologists have a glimpse into the furthest depths of the history of the Universe, some 12 billion years in the past, that has thus far been achieved, providing new insight into the early formation of galaxies and other cosmological structures. Kanipe (an independent science journalist) gives the general reader a tour of this new cosmological landscape, describing the exciting new discoveries made possible by the Hubble telescope and discussing their theoretical implications.
