The preliminary results will be released tomorrow night. For the full results it will take a lot longer (perhaps years).

In several weeks, the scientist will put the best lenses into a list.

The best lenses will be studied by Hubble Space Telescope and have their spectra taken.

Tomorrows results will be limited to a few promising candidates - science tend to happen quite slowly!
