That is a classic image. Hubble shot pics of a very dark patch of sky for 10 days, then they composited them. It's a patch of sky the size of a dime at 75 feet. It's called Hubble Deep Field if you want to google it.
This long-exposure, composite photo is the deepest-ever view of the universe. It looks back to the edge of the big bang, and shows a chaotic scramble of odd galaxies smashing into each other and re-forming in bizarre shapes. The image required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble orbits around Earth. The total amount of exposure time was 11.3 days, taken between Sept. 24, 2003, and Jan. 16, 2004.
