Este mar de galaxias es el campo Cosmos completo y original de la cámara avanzada del telescopio del Hubble Space para encuestas (ACS). El mosaico completo es un compuesto de 575 imágenes ACS separadas, donde cada imagen de ACS es aproximadamente una décima parte del diámetro de la luna llena. Los bordes irregulares del esquema se deben a las imágenes separadas que componen el campo de la encuesta.

| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. |
| Object Description | The type of astronomical object. |
| R.A. Position | Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Dec. Position | Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Constellation | One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. |
| Distance | The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. |
| Dimensions | The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. |
