Light After Darkness: The Cosmic Dawn and Reionization


Listen Later

A Deep Dive in the Science Corner, where we unravel how the first stars and galaxies lit up the universe. We explore the physics of Lyman-continuum photons, the escape fraction, and the contenders for the ionizing sources, and how JWST, ALMA, and other observatories help reconstruct the timeline from roughly z ≈ 10 to z ≈ 6. Join us as we connect the dark ages to the ionized, structured cosmos we observe today.
