Nothing new - the edge of the universe as it looked in the beginning as captured by the Hubble in 2004 and a recent article offering some interpretation of the image. I looked closer and deeper.
Wikipedia offers a selection of resolutions of the image:

Full resolution (6,200 × 6,200 pixels, file size: 19.23 MB, MIME type: image/jpeg)
Interpretative review that reopened my eyes:

"At the scale of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Photo we can see as many galaxies as there are grains in ten-thousand boxes of salt. And each of those galaxies contains as many stars as there are grains in ten-thousand boxes of salt. And that's just the universe we can see."
