The piece of sky chosen for the Ultra Deep Field images was chosen specifically to be as empty a piece of sky as possible. Instead of looking out across our own galaxy and its obscuring stars, they chose the direction with the fewest stars in the way, "up" out of our spiral arm. </p><p>(2) You mean the galaxy that looks a little like a smiling face? That was in the original GOODS "Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey" data.</p><p>I am currently re-uploading a "bug-fixed" version of the video to YouTube, as there were some typos and grammatical errors in my original, and with larger type to make the smaller lettering more legible. I will update the link in the original post when it is available.</p><p>Thank you both for your positive comments!</p><p><img src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000">_______________________________________________<br /></font><font size="2"><em>SpeedFreek</em></font> </p> </div>

Some of the sequences reminded me very much of the view from the imaginary spaceship in Carl Sagan's<em> Cosmos</em> series.&nbsp;
