This proposal will allow an Australian group to take an international leading role in the studies of galaxy assembly in the early Universe using the world's largest telescopes to make critical advances in this fundamental unsolved problem. The images obtained of the dawn of galaxies will be four times clearer than those from the Hubble Space Telescope. Young researchers will be trained in using laser Adaptive Optics which will be a key technology for making the next generation of discoveries with future Extremely Large Telescopes. Our new understanding of the matter content of the early Universe (especially cold hydrogen gas) will also be vital for planning and using the future giant radio telescopes to be built in Western Australia.

该提案将使澳大利亚研究小组能够利用世界上最大的望远镜在早期宇宙星系聚集的研究中发挥国际主导作用​​，从而在这一尚未解决的基本问题上取得关键进展。获得的星系黎明图像将比哈勃太空望远镜的图像清晰四倍。年轻的研究人员将接受激光自适应光学的使用培训，这将是利用未来超大望远镜进行下一代发现的关键技术。我们对早期宇宙物质含量（尤其是冷氢气）的新认识对于规划和使用未来在西澳大利亚建造的巨型射电望远镜也至关重要。
