However, we do indeed have the ability to look back in time whenever we turn our glance towards the skies. Distances to stars and galaxies are so vast that light takes thousands, millions and billions of years to reach us \u2013 the light from these objects started its journey a long time ago, and holds precious clues about the universe\u2019s past. Over the years, astronomers have pushed the limits ever farther, bringing into view infant galaxies whose light travelled about 13 billion light years across the cosmos. This talk will focus on some of the recent discoveries made in this exciting field, and how they are shaping our view of the universe\u2019s early days. What are the tools of the trade? How are these distant objects identified? And what do they tell us about the universe\u2019s history? These questions and more will be explored in this talk.\u00a0Access to the lecture room is through Emmanuel Drive via E. Giordano Street.
