This project will use JWST/NIRCam and NIRSpec to discover and study the faintest and most distant galaxies, black holes, stars, and stellar explosions in the early universe. By using the powerful effect of gravitational lensing, this project will reveal over 10-100 times more strongly magnified, early-universe objects than previous surveys.
