Unveiling the Invisible Universe
Show Description
Scientists study neutrinos and cosmic rays to understand the origin of matter and
explain how the universe's heaviest elements were forged. Meanwhile, the detection
of gravitational waves from merging black holes by the LIGO experiment has opened
a new window into the complexities of astrophysics.
This program presents images of the cosmos as revealed by all these different messengers.
