If gazing into the boundless night sky prompts existential questions—“Where does it all come from? What does it all mean?”—you’ll want to open UVA Astronomy Professor Kelsey Johnson’s latest book. In Into the Unknown: The Quest to Understand the Mysteries of the Cosmos, Johnson doesn’t necessarily answer all the cosmic quandaries that confound us, but offers a methodology of embracing knowledge that may never be accessible to human minds. Johnson discusses her work and the convergence of science, philosophy, and theology in an accessible and informative author event.
