Description
Gravitational lensing is allowing us to access physical scales and
luminosities in the distant Universe with unprecedented accuracy,
offering the opportunity to infer key physical quantities otherwise
unaccessible without AO. While such scientific programs are somehow
propaedeutic, AO technology coupled with cosmic telescopes will project
astronomers into a new territory. I'll present what we are learning
from the current studies on lensed and super-lensed fields, focusing
on the exploration of the farthest and faintest galaxies, down to
the parsec scale, eventually catching the still elusive formation of
globular clusters, potential agents of cosmic reionization.
