Description
When Galaxies Were Born: The Quest for Cosmic Dawn
Astronomers are like time travelers, scanning the night sky for the outermost galaxies that first came into being when our universe was a mere fraction of its present age. Richard Ellis takes readers inside the decades-long search for the first galaxies and the origin of starlight.
This book is a firsthand account of how a pioneering generation of scientists harnessed the world's largest telescopes to decipher the history of the universe and witness cosmic dawn, the time when starlight first bathed the cosmos and galaxies emerged from darkness. Ellis reveals the astonishing progress we have made in building ever larger and more powerful telescopes.
