When the Hubble telescope captured the matter in the above image, it was in fact looking back approximately 13 billion years. Clicking on the photo will take you to a high resolution version that conveys at least some of the beauty of the 10,000 galaxies in the photograph. I hadn't seen this until very recently and it upsets me to think I might never have come across it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do every time I look at it.
More details can be found on the Wikipedia page for Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
