Bollington SciBar

The speaker in May is Nathan Adams from Manchester University.

In this talk, Nathan will provide a tour through the early Universe as we now see it with James Webb Space Telescope, as well as what went well and what didn't go so well with the first data that was obtained.

He will show images of some of the most distant objects humans have ever seen, describe how scientists figure out what they are made out of and explore some examples of galaxies that have astronomers scratching their heads to explain.
