And not one, single unedited picture of the Earth.

Ummm, yeah, because all these shots are from the Hubble, which is in Near Earth Orbit. If the Hubble looked down at our planet it would look like this:

Mine too. Somewhere in that pic, a dude is looking at the camera.

a better deep field picture deep field 2

There actually was a second deep field called Ultra Deep Field LINK



The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) is an image of a small region of space in the constellation Fornax, containing an estimated 10,000 galaxies. It is composited from Hubble Space Telescope data accumulated over a period from September 24, 2003, through to January 16, 2004. Looking back approximately 13 billion years (between 400 and 800 million years after the Big Bang) it has been used to search for galaxies that existed at that time. The HUDF image was taken in a section of the sky with a low density of bright stars in the near-field, allowing much better viewing of dimmer, more distant objects. In August and September 2009, the Hubble's Deep Field was expanded using the infrared channel of the recently attached Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). When combined with existing HUDF data, astronomers were able to identify a new list of potentially very distant galaxies.[2][3]
