Pictures like this are quite overwhelming. And the more you think about
what you're looking at, the more overwhelming they become.

Thanks.

The zoom tool will keep you busy for quite a while!

"Colour image of the Deep 3 'empty' field observed with the Wide-Field
Camera on the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope at La Silla. The image is the
combination of 714 frames for a total exposure time of 64.5 hours
obtained
through four different filters (B, V, R, and I). It consists of four
adjacent Wide-Field Camera pointings (each 33x34 arcmin), covering a
total
area larger than one square degree.The original image - whose resolution
is
conserved in the zoom-in version and in PR Photo 14b/06 and 14c/06 -
consists of about 300 million pixels. "

Enjoy!
