This lecture will reveal how:

  • Modern telescopes can be used by astronomers to look at the universe in ever greater detail;
  • Progress in technology allows astronomers to observe things further and further away and therefore further back in time;
  • Astronomical observations can be used to learn more about the origins and future of the universe.
