Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ten areas in the sky were selected as“deep fields” that the Dark Energy Camera imaged several times during the survey, providing a glimpse of distant galaxies and helping determine their 3D distribution in the cosmos. The image is teeming with galaxies — in fact, nearly every single object in this image is a galaxy. Some exceptions include a couple of dozen asteroids as well as a few handfuls of foreground stars in our own Milky Way.

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it.

The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
