Speaker: Dr. Massimo Stiavelli, Space Telescope Science Institute
Topic: Studying the End of the Dark Ages with HST and JWST

Phone: 410-338-4700

In the very early universe, there were no planets, stars, or
galaxies. Astronomers refer to the period after the Big Bang,
and before galaxies began forming, as the "Dark Ages of the
Universe". Dr. Stiavelli will discuss how the Hubble Ultra-Deep
Field has enabled astronomers to begin studying the initial
formation of galaxies that marks the end of the Dark Ages.
Further studies with HST, and, in the next decade, JWST,
will greatly expand our knowledge of this earliest epoch of
formation: the beginnings of the magnificent astronomical
gallery we see today.
Lectures on a diverse selection of cosmic topics are held
the first Tuesday of every month at 8 PM in the STScI
Auditorium, located at 3700 San Martin Drive on the Homewood
campus of Johns Hopkins University. Admission is free and free
parking is available in the lot across the street.
This lecture will be webcast live. The recorded webcast will
also be available for viewing online shortly afterward. To
view the webcast, you may need to download and install
software. See the web site listed below a few days in advance
for details.
