Imagine looking through a telescope and discovering some of the brightest galaxies ever seen in the universe--galaxies so old, and so bright, scientists didn't believe they could even exist.
Now imagine being an undergraduate student at UMass Amherst and making that discovery.
Barnstable native and UMass Amherst senior Kevin Harrington was that person. He found these 10 billion-year-old galaxies crunching data from some of the world's most powerful telescopes during summer internships.
WCAI's Kathryn Eident speaks with Harrington to learn more.
