The Galileo Lectures

This six-part series celebrates the 2009 International Year of Astronomy, marking 400 years since Galileo used a telescope to view the solar system and transformed our understanding of Earth's place in the universe. Produced in partnership with the Royal Society of New Zealand

(2) The Mystery of the First Stars, presented by Dr Grant Christie MNZM, Research Astronomer, Stardome Observatory

The first stars formed when the Universe was less than 2 percent of its current age. At this early epoch the conditions were very different from those that exist now, so exactly how these stars got started and what they were like remains a major unsolved problem in astronomy. Can we probe this far back in time and shed light on how the first stars formed? (RNZ)
