For readers of Stephen Hawking, a fascinating account of the universe from the perspective of world-leading astrophysicist Heino Falcke, who took the first ever picture of a black hole.
At an international press conference on April 10th 2019, award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke presented the first image ever captured of a black hole - a turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the year. That photo was captured with the commitment of a team of astronomers who transformed the entire world into a global telescope. While this image achieved Falcke's goal in making a black hole, the greatest mystery in the universe, "visible" for the first time, he recognizes that the photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers.
From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still unsolved mysteries of the universe, in Light in the Darkness Falcke ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.
Praise for LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS:
'You don't need to be a scientist to enjoy this clearly written book - the author offers a broader perspective on the motives that drive us to seek understanding of the cosmos and our place in it '
SIR MARTIN REES, Astronomer Royal
'Falcke isn't only a fantastic scientist, [he's] also a gifted storyteller'
