To the unaided human eye, space is largely a muted void. Stars pierce through the darkness like pinholes in velvet, but much of the grand tapestry—the swirling colors of nebulae, the fiery birthplaces of stars, the delicate filaments of distant galaxies—are invisible. Our vision, evolved for survival under a sunlit sky and on a green-blue Earth, isn’t tuned to perceive the vast electromagnetic chorus the universe sings in.
