   The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is a patient stare into a tiny patch of sky in the constellation Fornax. Over 11 days of exposure revealed 10,000 galaxies, including some of the oldest known.
   
Almost every dot, smudge, and whorl of light in the image is a galaxy. (There are a few stars in there – you can spot them by their diffraction spikes.) The deepest red ones are galaxies that probably formed when the Universe was less than a billion years old.
