Interview
When and how the first galaxies formed? How did they glow up? By capturing the faint radio waves that have traveled over billions of years, astronomers are able to unravel the history of the Universe.
The ALMA telescope, which started its initial scientific observations in 2011, celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2021.
ALMA has enabled us to see various aspects of the Universe that were previously invisible, and astronomy has made great progress. In this video interview series, we look back on the past 10 years and introduce the great impact that ALMA has had on astronomy.
The topic of the third and finale episode is the research on ancient galaxies. Prof. Masami Ouchi of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan talks about the research.
