Seeing the Most Distant Galaxies - Dr. Steven Finkelstein, Astronomer, U.T. Austin

Season 1 Episode 97 Published 3 years, 6 months ago
Description

Astronomer, Dr. Steven Finkelstein, joins us for the third week of astro/cosmo discussions centered around the new James Webb (JWST) data. Dr. Finkelstein captured some of the first images of our most distant known galaxies. In this episode we discuss how the data is compiled and processed and how small changes in these pipelines can alter distance estimates by orders of magnitude. We also discuss tired light and the usual explorations of paradigm shifts in science.
