Exploring Galaxies: JWST's Revolutionary Distance Measurements

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided groundbreaking insights into the earliest objects in the Universe, including the discovery of ultra-distant galaxies, clusters, and black holes. Dr. Jeyhan Kartaltepe, a member of the CEERS collaboration with JWST, discusses the profound ways these observations have challenged our understanding of the Universe. The podcast also explores topics such as brown dwarfs, the growth of supermassive black holes, and the gravitational background "hum" of the Universe.
