Join us to learn how new discoveries enabled by the James Webb Space Telescope are shedding light on the birth of galaxies and the dramatic changes that shaped the universe as we know it.

Peering into the cosmic dawn: Unlocking the Secrets of the Epoch of Reionization with JWST

Dr Ryan Begley (Post Doctoral Reseacher)

Billions of years ago, the early universe was a dark and mysterious place, filled with a cosmic fog of neutral hydrogen. Then, the first stars and galaxies ignited, transforming the universe in a dramatic event called the Epoch of Reionization. But how did this happen, and what role did early galaxies play? Thanks to the revolutionary power of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we are now uncovering clues about this crucial period in cosmic history. Join me as we explore how JWST is rewriting our understanding of the first galaxies, their light, and their impact on the universe!
