The deepest visible/ultraviolet light image of the universe ever taken, revealing galaxies down to 30th magnitude. Glaring fiercely across 12 billion light-years of space is the brilliant beacon of a distant quasar (z=2.2). Most of the galaxies in this view lie between us and the quasar. The image was taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. Light from the galaxies was also analysed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS
