Have you ever wondered how the James Webb Telescope could take a photo that's 13 billion years old? Or how light can reveal secrets from billions of years ago? In this video, I'm exploring the fascinating concept of the Doppler effect as it applies to light, known as redshift. By understanding redshift, and the expanding universe, scientists can peer almost 13.6 billion years into the past, observing the universe when it was just 2% of its current age.

I'll also be giving away an awesome Space Shuttle Lego set, so be sure to stick around until the end of the video to learn more about how you can win! Enter to win at the link below.
