This Hubble telescope image released in June 2014 contains approximately 10,000 galaxies, extending back in time to within a few hundred million years of the big bang. Researchers say the image, which includes UV light, provides the missing link in star formation. The most distant galaxies appear to us in their most primitive stages due to the significant amount of time required for the light of distant stars to travel into a visible range.
