The powerful James Webb Space Telescope allows us to see back to the beginning of time, shortly after the Big Bang, when the first stars and galaxies were only starting to form. In this Hot Science - Cool Talks event by the Environmental Science Institute, Dr. Caitlin Casey will explore some exciting new discoveries made using the JWST during the first billion years of cosmic time.
