Unseen Universe / Live Sky Tour
Look at the night sky and you are seeing the universe as humankind has for nearly all of history. The visible light that our eyes detect has revealed much about the universe. Yet, it is only the tip of the iceberg: radio, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and other wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum carry a wealth of information about planets, stars, and galaxies.
The relatively recent capability of detecting energy from across the spectrum, together with the added power of interlinking telescopes continents apart, is finally lifting the veil on the secrets of our unseen universe. Discover these technologies and their revelations on this journey into the realm beyond what our eyes can see.
