Matthew Bothwell and The Invisible Universe - Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion 30 November 2021

A talk with Dr. Matthew Bothwell about the vast invisible part of the visible Universe

Looking at the visible Universe in light invisible to the human eye with Dr. Matthew Bothwell Public Astronomer at the University of Cambridge. Plus, the liftoff of Dart, a massive doomed planet, and AI opens up new worlds…

Hello everyone:

First, my apologies for not getting a VIP newsletter out yesterday. Multiple technical problems caused lighting and recording problems, which led to audio problems, and it fell into a gravitational well from there.

The good news is, as I hope you have noticed, the quality of the production has been, all in all, improving. That all takes extra time, and presents chances for error.

So, I am going to try something different this week - a newsletter for everyone with text of the main part of the show (if not the interviews) for VIP members.

We have a fantastic guest this week - Dr. Matthew Bothwell, talking about his new book, The Invisible Universe.

We also look oat the liftoff of Dart, a massive doomed world, and artificial intelligence finds hundreds of new planets:
