Guest presenter: Emmy Bursk

 

How can we study the universe's earliest galaxies, billions of light-years away? The answer lies in using other galaxies as natural telescopes. By bending and magnifying light from distant objects, these natural lenses provide a glimpse into the formation of galaxies, the cosmic web, and the origins of the universe.
