Hubble Deep Field

Above is one of the iconic Hubble Deep Field images that helped change humanity's conception of the universe.  This image is a long exposure of one of the blankest regions of space (from our Earthly view).  Each bright spot represents a galaxy.  Images like these helped us to determine that there are billions more galaxies in our universe than we originally thought.  It is one of my favorite pictures ever taken.
