The Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) gives Hubble greater sensitivity in Infrared wavelengths, thus enabling it to see objects more distant than instruments currently on board.

Potential Wide Field Camera 3 observations at various redshifts correlated to the object's distance from Earth.

Datasets used in this visualization

HST (Collected with the WFPC2 sensor)

Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) was installed in Dec 1993 and used to obtain high resolution images of astronomical objects. This camera was removed in the last servicing mission so it is no longer in service.

Dataset can be found at: http://www.stsci.edu/hst/wfpc2/wfpc2_diag.html
