GOODS South Survey

This shot of several Galaxies in the early Universe is a product of the GOODS survey.

From Wikipedia: The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey or GOODS is an astronomical survey combining deep observations from three of NASAs Great Observatories: the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory along with data from other space-based telescopes, such as XMM Newton, and some of the worlds most powerful ground-based telescopes. GOODS is intended to enable astronomers to study the formation and evolution of galaxies in the distant (and hence early) universe.
