Associate Professor Akio Inoue of the College of Liberal Arts, who has attracted attention due to his research results being published in the online edition of the American scientific journal Science, will be giving a public lecture.
It is believed that hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe, galaxies, which are groups of stars, were born and light began to flood the universe.

This is the most distant discovery of oxygen to date. We will provide a simple explanation of this research result.
