Wide Field Camera 3: Redshift
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.
