Door 25: Stars of Wonder

Here at TBATC we wish you a Most Merry Christmas!

Since the star is the last decoration one puts on the Christmas tree, it follows that the last Advent post we offer you is of a star. Via my earlier post about the Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, here, tucked behind Door 25, is the final, stunning picture of the heavens. It is the "deepest visible-light image of the Universe" and "2.4 arcminutes wide." I don't know really what that means, even after cursory research on Wikipedia, but it seems like a measurement both angels and men might comprehend.
