• A. The Galaxy Zoo
• B. The Hubble Deep Field
• C. Cosmic caterpillar
• D. The Star fair

Answer 1

The correct option is B The Hubble Deep Field

• The Hubble Deep Field, sometimes called the HDF, is an image of a small part of the night sky in the constellation Ursa Major that was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995.
• It is important because it shows some of the farthest away galaxies ever seen, over 3000 in total.
• It has imaged some of the most distant galaxies ever observed, allowing the telescope to look back in time to when the universe was in its infancy.
