The Invisible Universe

From the discovery of entirely new kinds of galaxies to a window into cosmic ‘prehistory’, Bothwell shows us the Universe as we’ve never seen it before – literally. Since the dawn of our species, people all over the world�have gazed in�awe at the night sky.�But for all the beauty and wonder of the�stars, when we look with just our eyes we are seeing and appreciating only a tiny fraction of the Universe. What does the cosmos have in store for us beyond the phenomena we can�see, from black holes to supernovas? How different does the invisible Universe look from the home we thought we knew? Dr Matt Bothwell takes us on a journey�through the full spectrum of light and beyond, revealing what we have learned about the mysteries of the Universe. This�book is a guide to the ninety-nine per cent of cosmic reality we can’t see –�the Universe that is hidden, right in front of our eyes.�It is also the endpoint�of a scientific detective story thousands of years in the telling. It is a tour�through our Invisible Universe.
