Exploring Galaxies and Galactic Surveys with Dr. Vaj Panda

TLDRDr. Vaj Panda discusses the Hubble Deep Field and the future of galactic surveys with the James Webb Space Telescope.

Key insights

🌌The Hubble Deep Field revealed tens of thousands of galaxies to the very limits of its sight.

🔭The James Webb Space Telescope is faster and more powerful than Hubble, capable of its own deep field survey.

🌟Galaxies in our neighborhood, like the Milky Way, are spiral galaxies with satellite populations.

⚡️As we move beyond our local group, galaxies become more elliptical with red and dead satellite populations.

🌌When observing galaxies at the very limits of Hubble's perception, linear-looking structures dominate.
