This image shows galaxy cluster Abell 1689. Astronomers have used the sharp eye of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the magnification power of this giant cluster to find 58 remote galaxies, which produced the bulk of new stars during the Universe's early years. They are the smallest, faintest, and most numerous galaxies ever seen in the remote Universe. This image is a blend of exposures taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3.
