Aether Gravitational Lensing is a groundbreaking project aimed at uncovering the mysteries behind the formation of the first stars and galaxies in the universe using supercomputers and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) capabilities.
The project's objectives include simulating the universe's earliest star clusters and galaxies, replicating gravitational lensing phenomena observed by JWST, and creating open-source tools for the global astronomy community. By making tools publicly available, we support scientists, space agencies, and students in advancing understanding of the universe's origins.
This work advances astronomy by providing deeper insights into galaxy formation and answers questions about the early universe. It also supports the broader astronomy community in advancing research on cosmic evolution and serves as a model for scientific inquiry and collaborative high-tech projects in astrophysics.
