science 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.
