Charlotte Mason - L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science-prize

How did we get here? There is a missing chapter in our Universe’s history: we cannot see the first stars and galaxies that lit up the Universe. How and when did galaxies form from the primordial soup of atomic hydrogen and helium to produce the diversity we see today? This is still an open question and a frontier in astrophysics. The James Webb Space Telescope has expanded our horizon to the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang ane early observations are challenging theoretical models of howstars and galaxies formed. Charlotte Mason’s project lies at the intersection of theory and observations and aims to analyse and interpret these data to understand the properties of the first generations of stars.
