Looking into the past with a telescope
With the JWT, I have read that scientist will be able to see back
closer to the big bang than with any modern telescope; targeting IR. I understand that when we look at a DSO (or any object), that we are looking at the DSO the way it looked at some time(t) in the past. In this respect, we are looking at a snap shot of the past. But what exactly are the astronomers expecting to see? New galaxies not seen before due to their extreme red shift? |
