Winning Topic :

Astronomy Beyond Light: In astronomy, until relatively recently, all the information we had about astrophysical systems came from studying light from distant objects. However, some astrophysical systems don't give off light. Light can also be blocked from our view or just not give us all the information we want. We'll discuss new methods in astronomy that try to detect other signals from space, like cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves, and what we can learn using these methods.
