00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.290 align:middle line:84%
So, I presented the
spectroscopic confirmation

00:00:06.290 --> 00:00:10.790 align:middle line:84%
of one of the most faintest
galaxies we know of.

00:00:10.790 --> 00:00:12.110 align:middle line:90%
It's called JD1.

00:00:12.110 --> 00:00:14.510 align:middle line:84%
It's gravitationally
lensed, which

00:00:14.510 --> 00:00:17.930 align:middle line:84%
means that the gravity
from nearby galaxies

00:00:17.930 --> 00:00:20.030 align:middle line:90%
are amplifying its light.

00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:22.580 align:middle line:84%
So, we can, instead
of saying, "oh, we

00:00:22.580 --> 00:00:26.420 align:middle line:84%
think this galaxy is so far
away we're looking back in time,

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:30.380 align:middle line:84%
you know, 12 billion years,"
now we can precisely say,

00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:32.720 align:middle line:84%
"no, I know exactly
where that galaxy is,"

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.320 align:middle line:84%
and we can start to study
the physical properties

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.600 align:middle line:84%
of the insides of
those, you know,

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.380 align:middle line:84%
baby galaxies in the
earliest moments of time.

00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:43.270 align:middle line:90%
It's really exciting.

00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:45.460 align:middle line:84%
And so, that's kind
of the really cool,

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:47.140 align:middle line:84%
forward-looking
stuff is, is we're

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:49.390 align:middle line:84%
asking questions we didn't
know we needed to ask.

00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:51.725 align:middle line:84%
And, what's the next thing
that we're going to find?

00:00:51.725 --> 00:00:54.100 align:middle line:84%
And, what's the next question
that's going to surprise us

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:56.830 align:middle line:84%
or the answer where
all of our predictions

00:00:56.830 --> 00:00:58.810 align:middle line:90%
are not quite correct?

00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:00.280 align:middle line:84%
Which is the fun
part of science.

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.070 align:middle line:84%
When you're wrong, you're like,
"oh, this is something new."

00:01:03.070 --> 00:01:05.880 align:middle line:84%
And that's when it
gets truly exciting.

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.000 align:middle line:90%
