This project aims to determine where, when, and how galaxies formed their stars in the key epoch spanning the first four billion years of the Universe’s history. Astronomy has entered a new era with the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful telescopes ever built. Together, they provide the sharpest and most complete view of distant, young galaxies ever achieved. This project will use cutting-edge ALMA and JWST observations to produce high-definition maps of the physical parameters of young galaxies through innovative analysis techniques. The project will enhance Australia's standing in astrophysical research, while inspiring the next generation of STEM students and workers.

该项目旨在确定宇宙历史前 40 亿年的关键时期星系在何处、何时以及如何形成恒星，阿塔卡马大型毫米波阵列 (ALMA) 和詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜使天文学进入了一个新时代。 (JWST) 是迄今为止最强大的望远镜，它们共同提供了迄今为止最清晰、最完整的遥远年轻星系观测结果。通过创新的分析技术制作年轻星系物理参数的高清地图，该项目将提高澳大利亚在天体物理研究中的地位，同时激励下一代 STEM 学生和工作者。
