“And still, it’s mind-blowingly beautiful, the sensitivity of these instruments and the science,” said Kevin Hainline, a professor at the University of Arizona and one of the scientists behind the telescopes Near Infrared Camera or ‘NIRCAM.’ Watching how that light evolves will give scientists clues as to how our universe formed after the Big Bang.
