NASA and the European Space Agency have released what they say is the most comprehensive picture of the evolving universe to date. The space agencies point out that the new photo is also a particularly colorful one, and that's for a good reason: the image includes ultraviolet light (which has, of course, been colored), rather than just visible and near-infrared as past Hubble photos have. "The lack of information from ultraviolet light made studying galaxies in the [Hubble Ultra Deep Field] like trying to understand the history of families without knowing about the grade-school children," principal investigator Harry Teplitz, of Caltech, says in a statement. Capturing that through ultraviolet light is a major addition for Hubble, as that time period is when most stars in the universe were born.
