“Frontier Fields: Hubble Goes Deep” is a fascinating look—through the lens of the Hubble Space Telescope—into the deepest parts of outer space. By focusing the telescope on seemingly empty patches of space, we have been able to capture images of thousands of galaxies (photos included in article). The light from these galaxies has traveled for billions of years, so looking at these distant objects is like looking back in time billions of years. An accompanying educator’s guide includes discussion questions and answers as well as definitions for key terms.
