Britain's What's On Event Guide
Cafe Scientifique May Meeting
Dhara Patel from the National Space Centre in Leicester will be telling us about
Observing Galaxies that should not exist – Images from the James Webb Space Telescope
Using the largest telescope launched into space, we’ve been surprised at the number of large and mature galaxies observed in the early Universe. The infrared capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope have allowed astronomers to peer back to a time shortly after the Big Bang, and current models of galaxy formation don’t explain how these ‘islands of stars’ formed so quickly - leaving the scientific community perplexed. This talk will explore the discoveries made by JWST and discuss some alternative ideas that could help explain the presence of galaxies that should not exist!
