In visible light images, more than a thousand galaxies seen in the volume that is nottrue because only a fraction is clearly visible at a distance of about 20 million light-years away in the Coma Galaxy Cluster. However, infrared images of the ComaCluster is now used to add thousands more to calculate the Coma galaxies in the form of dwarf galaxies that were previously undiscovered.
This composite combines infrared Spitzer Space Telescope image data (red and green) with visible light Sloan Sky Survey data (blue) to the center of the cluster.More than 1 degree wide, the field is dominated by two giant elliptical galaxies in blue. However, many small green spots were identified as dwarf galaxies, roughlycomparable to the Small Magellanic Cloud. dwarf galaxies are expected to formfirst and then become the building blocks for larger galaxies. Coma Cluster is nowable to catch in an area of 320 million light-years away.
More than 12 billion years of cosmic history is displayed in the view, full-colorpanorama of thousands of galaxies.

This image, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, made of mosaic taken in September and October 2009 with the Wide Field Camera 3 and the newly installed in 2004 with the Advanced Camera Survey and include most of the areasouth of the census of galaxies called the Great Observatories Origins DeepSurvey, a study to explore the space with several observatories to track the evolution of galaxies.
The image shows a galaxy that appears increasingly chaotic in any previous era,galaxies grow through accretion, collisions and mergers, which range from maturespirals and ellipticals in the foreground galaxy of irregular shape, most of whomhave a considerable distance to be captured by infrared camera galaxies aresmaller are considered the building blocks of galaxies are greater that we see today.
The picture shows thousands of galaxies over most of the history of the universe.Nearby galaxies visible in the foreground of the emitted light was observed to formabout a billion years ago. Most distant galaxies, some red spots are very faint, theyappear more than 13 billion years ago, or about 650 million years after the BigBang. This mosaic piece stretches the same room with about a third of the diameter of the full moon.
