The Early Epochs of the Milky Way Galaxy

通过测定银河系中最古老恒星的化学成分和空间速度，我们的计划试图了解宇宙中最早的天体以及银河系形成的方式。我们的团队将利用一个正在观测25万颗银河系恒星的项目，并寻求使用世界上最大的望远镜，获得价值数百万美元的资金--激发普通公众和国家年轻人对自然科学的兴趣。它将培训年轻的尖端科学研究人员，提高数据分析、解决问题、项目管理和有效沟通的技能。

By determining the chemical compositions and space velocities of the oldest stars in our Milky Way Galaxy, our program seeks to understand the first objects in the Universe and the manner in which the Galaxy formed. Our team will utilize a program that is observing 250,000 Milky Way stars and seek access to the world's largest telescopes to a monetary value of several million dollars - stimulating interest in the natural sciences among the general public and the nation's youth. It will train young researchers in cutting-edge science, enhancing skills in data analysis, problem solving, project management, and effective communications.
