1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720


2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,290
So, I presented the
spectroscopic confirmation

3
00:00:06,290 --> 00:00:10,790
of one of the most faintest
galaxies we know of.

4
00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:12,110
It's called JD1.

5
00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:14,510
It's gravitationally
lensed, which

6
00:00:14,510 --> 00:00:17,930
means that the gravity
from nearby galaxies

7
00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:20,030
are amplifying its light.

8
00:00:20,030 --> 00:00:22,580
So, we can, instead
of saying, "oh, we

9
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:26,420
think this galaxy is so far
away we're looking back in time,

10
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:30,380
you know, 12 billion years,"
now we can precisely say,

11
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:32,720
"no, I know exactly
where that galaxy is,"

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,320
and we can start to study
the physical properties

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,600
of the insides of
those, you know,

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,380
baby galaxies in the
earliest moments of time.

15
00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:43,270
It's really exciting.

16
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:45,460
And so, that's kind
of the really cool,

17
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:47,140
forward-looking
stuff is, is we're

18
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:49,390
asking questions we didn't
know we needed to ask.

19
00:00:49,390 --> 00:00:51,725
And, what's the next thing
that we're going to find?

20
00:00:51,725 --> 00:00:54,100
And, what's the next question
that's going to surprise us

21
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,830
or the answer where
all of our predictions

22
00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:58,810
are not quite correct?

23
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,280
Which is the fun
part of science.

24
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,070
When you're wrong, you're like,
"oh, this is something new."

25
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:05,880
And that's when it
gets truly exciting.

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,000
