About this wallpaper
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field released by ESA/Hubble in March 2004 (heic0406a), cropped to 9:16. In a region in the direction of Fornax about a tenth the apparent size of the Moon, galaxies of every size — spiral, elliptical and irregular — are scattered in white, yellow, orange and blue. Everything between them is black, and more than 90% of the pixels are pure black. Licensed CC BY 4.0; credit NASA, ESA, and S. Beckwith (STScI) and the HUDF Team.
On the home screen
The whole frame is small points on black, so icon labels read anywhere and the background never intrudes.
On the lock screen
The top is pure black, so a white clock reads perfectly.
Colors and mood
Black, scattered with small white, yellow, orange and blue points of galaxies.
