The Asterisk Café: Discuss Anything Astronomy Related • Hubble Deep Field 35 years ago vs today

If Hubble made the same observation of the Deep Field horizon today, would a new image reveal galaxies that were not yet visible thirty five years ago? Is 35 light years a reasonable distance between the most distant galaxies of the original image?
-(signed) Congenitally Clueless
In cosmological terms, nothing changes in 35 years. 35 light years is the distance between nearby stars inside of single galaxies. (And why would more galaxies become visible over time? Everything is getting further apart, not closer together.)
