Publisher's Summary
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 99 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.

A complex subject is explained in easy to follow steps.
An objective of population science books must be to bring complex theories/facts to those who are interested to learn and discover, but don’t have the technical background. This book and its delivery fits perfectly into that category in my view. As with other approachable titles dealing with Cosmology we are reminded how insignificant our planet is and how scientists go about discovering new theories. I found it a very welcome distraction from the daily view that humans are somehow important and know everything.
