"However, after the era of recombination came something I like to call the Cosmic Dark Ages, which is said to have lasted between 150 million to 800 million years after the Big Bang." He paused for a moment and wished he had some water with him. Awful lot to talk about and his throat suffering. "You may use your textbooks for this next question if you wish, but who can tell me in your own words, what the HUDF.YD3 is and why is it significant? Try to keep your response as concise as possible. Stick to the big picture if you can."
Astrid knew that thumbs up meant something good. So yeah, the thumbs that Professor Flamsteed gave her ALSO received a thumbs up in return. Yeah. Because they were awesome. He would've received a salute but that was only a Sir Tye thing. She was his Lieutenant, after all. It made much sense, yeah? Anyway, it was time to move on to the next question. Astrid listened carefully and... uhm. Okay. HUDF-something something. As much as Astrid wish she knew what that was, she couldn't even memorize the entire name of the thing.
But anyway, Professor Flamsteed said they could check their textbook, right? So Astrid did that and flipped as fast as she could to find about what this is. Once she found the page, she immediately raised her hand. "
It's other name is UDFy...38135539..." Merlin, what a long name. Why would anyone name it that way? "
It was also thought to be the first ever galaxy to be observed in the reionization epoch." YES THAT. She wiggled her eyebrows. Interesting. This stuff was interesting.
