So, I presented the spectroscopic confirmation
of one of the most faintest galaxies we know of.
It's called JD1.
It's gravitationally lensed, which
means that the gravity from nearby galaxies
are amplifying its light.
So, we can, instead of saying, "oh, we
think this galaxy is so far away we're looking back in time,
you know, 12 billion years," now we can precisely say,
"no, I know exactly where that galaxy is,"
and we can start to study the physical properties
of the insides of those, you know,
baby galaxies in the earliest moments of time.
It's really exciting.
And so, that's kind of the really cool,
forward-looking stuff is, is we're
asking questions we didn't know we needed to ask.
And, what's the next thing that we're going to find?
And, what's the next question that's going to surprise us
or the answer where all of our predictions
are not quite correct?
Which is the fun part of science.
When you're wrong, you're like, "oh, this is something new."
And that's when it gets truly exciting.
