In a recent paper written by Dr. Hu Zou, Chinese astronomers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing investigated over 1600 galaxies observed by DESI -- The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument at the Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona. The astronomers are searching for low-metallicity galaxies formed by gasses from the Big Bang.
Join us this week as Mike discusses these discoveries and their potential to aid in understanding the very first galaxies.
