One of the most important controversies in modern science is explored by a world renowned astronomer. "All round us, pervading the fabric of our Milky Way and far beyond, there is an invisible sea of objects or constituents which comprise ninety percent or more of the mass of our cosmos. And despite our great telescopes and powerful rockets this mysterious agency still maddeningly evades all our efforts at detection. Nevertheless we know it is lurking there because of the effects it has on those structures such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies that we can see. . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall .
