With the addition of ultraviolet light, they have combined the full
range of colours available to Hubble, stretching all the way from
ultraviolet to near- infrared light. The resulting image, made from
841 orbits of telescope viewing time, contains approximately 10 000
galaxies, extending back to within a few hundred million years of the
Big Bang.

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2014 image is a composite of separate
exposures taken from 2003 to 2012 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for
Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3.
