One of the most intriguing topics in astronomy today is understanding the crucial events in the very early Universe that shaped our present-day cosmos. Astronomers can use the ultraviolet signals from distant galaxies to investigate this critical period. Dr. Anthony Pahl will share with us his Carnegie Science research, using a remarkable combination of findings from the James Webb Space Telescope, the Keck telescopes in Hawaii, and Carnegie Science's own twin Magellan telescopes in Chile. Reservations are suggested. Presented by Dr. Anthony Pahl, Carnegie Fellow, Carnegie Science Observatories. Click here to register.
