Only in the last 50 years have a series of technological advances given us access to the hidden cosmic domains of radio waves, x-rays, ultraviolet light, and infrared light. Written by the authors of the popular Hubble: 15 Years of Discovery, Hidden Universe shows the fundamental change in our perception of the universe by covering the full spectrum of light, emphasizing what humans cannot see. The richly illustrated coffee-table book provides all readers with the stunning imagery and insights gained by telescopes observing in the unseen ranges of light.
