Astronomy Without Light: Revealing the Unseen Universe by Dr Stephen Sekula:
As SNOLAB Research Group Manager and Professor of Physics at Queen’s University, Stephen Sekula is concerned with the nature of the universe. But those lights in the night sky may be a distraction. The things we cannot see might matter more. In fact, it may be that all the dark places in between the stars are more important than those beautiful islands of light. Let’s sample together the unseen universe, learning how to see without light and revealing the deeper structure of the cosmos.
