WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (TNSres) -- The National Science Foundation issued the following news release:
Astronomy has always relied on light to convey information about the universe. But capturing photons such as those from visible light or radio waves is no longer the only technique scientists have for studying astronomical phenomena. Neutrinos, cosmic rays and gravitational waves are also "messengers" that carry information about the universe to humans on Earth.
