What Does HDF Stand For?
HDF stands for Hubble Deep Field
HDF, or Hubble Deep Field, refers to a series of astronomical images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, showcasing a small, dense region of space. The project, initiated in 1995, aimed to explore the faint and distant galaxies that lie beyond the observable universe. By focusing on a seemingly empty patch of sky for an extended period, the HDF revealed thousands of previously unobserved galaxies, providing invaluable insights into the formation and evolution of the universe over billions of years.
