Project Details
Description
Light from the most distant objects in the universe takes more than 10 billion years to reach us - that is, we see the most distant objects as they were 10 billion or more years ago. A collaboration between Australia and Dutch astronomers will build a unique instrument to observe very distant galaxies and see how these vast star-structures were formed from the debris of the Big Bang. This instrument, the Australia-Netherlands Deep Explorer Spectrograph (ANDES) will exploit one of the world's largest telescopes, the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, located in the foothills of the Andes in Chile.
