The International Bestseller On April 10 2019 award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke
presented the first image ever captured of a black hole at an international press conference?a
turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the
year. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of
astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. While this image achieved
Falcke's goal in making a black hole ?visible? for the first time he recognizes that the photo
itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers. Light in the Darkness takes us on
Falcke's extraordinary journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From the first humans
looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics from the study of black holes to the
still-unsolved mysteries of the universe Falcke asks in even the greatest triumphs of science
is there room for doubts faith and a God? A plea for curiosity and humility Light in the
Darkness sees one of the great minds shaping the world today as he ponders the big pressing
questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.
