How much exposure time did it take to capture the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image?
One of the neat things about the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and one of the things that made it so
unique was how long it took us to take that image. It's a very, very long exposure time, 11.2 days.
"11 Days"
What's more important is how many orbits it took us to do that.
400 orbits of Hubble data to take that image, that's a lot of orbits!
A lot of Hubble time, you only get 15 orbits a day to take
400 orbits and say we're going to observe this one spot in the sky for 400 orbits.
I think the results from the science was amazing what they saw was spectacular!
