520 # # |a The visible universe consists of stars and galaxies. One of the�challenges of astronomy is to understand how galaxies and stars first came into existence over thirteen billion years ago. This book tells�the story of our quest to solve this problem.�Four hundred years after Galileo used his telescope to discover the �moons of Jupiter, we are using new telescopes and�instruments to search for�the first galaxies to form after the Big Bang.�This book brings the reader to the current�frontier of this subject and lays out some�of the exciting developments we can expect�in the years to come.
