The story of the assembly of galaxies is believed to be found in the connection between the cosmic web of gas and the known galaxies, at a variety of redshifts. The gaseous web is generally invisible except by probing the gas using distant QSOs as background sources for the study of the UV absorption lines of H I, O VI and C II, for instance. ...
