“Finding Galaxies in the Distant Universe
with the James Webb Space Telescope”
Professor Andrew Bunker
University of Oxford
After a delay, the James Webb Space Telescope launched on Christmas Day in 2021, and is now making spectacular observations of the Universe.
Professor Bunker who first spoke to us in 2019 returns to describe his involvement on the instrument science team of the near-infrared spectrograph on Webb.
This instrument is being used to find galaxies at immense distances, when the Universe was very young, and to measure the rate at which stars are being born in these galaxies.
