Artistic reconstruction of a photon’s path through intergalactic gas. Courtesy of University of California, Riverside The dense peaks of the wavelength distribution graph observed in a Lyman Alpha forest do indeed resemble many small trees. Each of these peaks represents a sharp drop in “light” at a specific narrow wavelength, effectively mapping the materials that the light has encountered on its way to us. This is similar to shadow play, where we infer a person’s identity from their silhouette between the light and the screen. The “shadows” of hydrogen molecules that float far away between us and the light emitted…
