| The Hubble Extreme Deep Field* |
The radiance of that star that leans on me
Was shining years ago. The light that now
Glitters up there my eye may never see,
And so the time lag teases me with how
Love that loves now may not reach me until
Its first desire is spent. The star’s impulse
Must wait for eyes to claim it beautiful
And love arrived may find us somewhere else.

This image by the Hubble Space telescope is the deepest image of the far Universe ever taken in visible light. The faintest galaxies formed 13 billion years ago, just a few percent of its present age.
