There’s a hole in the universe. Granted, it’s not a physical hole
that leads us to a place that’s outside the cosmos – it’s a void
where there isn’t a great deal going on. And that’s because there’s
supposedly nothing there: no matter, no stars, no galaxies, no
black holes. Zilch.
So what’s going on inside it, and how did it get there? That’s one
discussion I had with
All About Space’s
Art Editor, Jonathan Wells, and the answer is
quite illuminating to say the least. Turn to page 14 for everything you need to know (and
the current research) into one of the weirdest places in the universe.
Also in this issue, we’ve created a quick bluffer’s guide to understanding the
fundamental properties of nature at a subatomic level, the ambitious plan to stop the
heating up of our planet, why Mars is wobbling, how the Moon is getting more water and
plenty more to keep you entertained. As usual, we’re also giving away three eBooks to
read at your leisure.
This marks our second issue where we feature augmented reality (AR) – we hope
you love the experience, and if this is the first time
that you’ve been introduced to it, we hope you enjoy
interacting with the magazine in a whole new way.
See you next issue!
