The most well-known example of this technique is his Mona Lisa. But were these layers of paint hiding something else?

"Cosmic Dawn: The First Star in the Universe"
Dr. Tom Abel - Stanford University
What was the first thing in the Universe? A black hole or a star? How did it form? Even our biggest and best telescopes cannot tell us. Direct calculation with supercomputers, however, can.
