Join this month’s readers’ group, led by FOCC volunteer Harold Hirsch, as we discuss the international bestselling book Light in the Darkness: Black Holes, the Universe and Us by astrophysicist Heino Falcke.

Summary from Heino Falcke’s website:

Light in the Darkness describes humankind’s adventurous journey through space and time: from the first glance [at] the stars to the limits of the galaxies—and far beyond. [Author] Heino Falcke, one of the world’s leading astronomers, . . . significantly shaped the exciting expedition to the first image of a black hole. [He] is honored for conceiving of black hole imaging using radio interferometry on a global scale . . . and for establishing new measurements that provide knowledge . . into the nature of gravity and physics in extreme conditions.
