There is more to the universe than meets the human eye.
Most of what we know about the universe beyond Earth comes from light. By analyzing details of different types of light—radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays—we can figure out what the universe is made of, how it is organized, and how it changes over time.
