This photo is a piece of what is known as the Hubble Deep Field. It was a 9 day exposure of what appeared to be a small empty piece of night sky. Almost every light you see is a galaxy. There are over 10,000 in the full picture; the faintest of which are over 13 billion light years away. These galaxies formed shortly after the big bang, and are the oldest objects ever seen.
