What NASA doesn't want you to know: In that Ultra Deep Field image, they censored the part where you could see written, very dimly, the words "Emergency Exit".

Funny, I read the words as "We apologize for the inconvenience."

So you're saying there is a God? ;-)
Seriously, given how far away those galaxies in the UDF image are, and how long it took for a measly few photons to crawl across space to reach our telescopes, some of those galaxies may not even exist anymore. That's right: Galaxies will eventually go away as their stars die and too much stellar material is lost to the void between galaxies... the cycle of stars exploding and their material being incorporated by gravity into new stars does not run indefinitely.
Physicists say that gravity sucks, but the real downer is entropy.
