The Lyman Alpha Universe
Abstract
I intend to review the basic physics and processes that drive the visibility of the Lyα line since it is presumably the most powerful tool for exploring the far reaches of the Universe. Local galaxies investigations from space instruments are reviewed and lessons from these studies help to understand the high redshift galaxies.
