The vast majority of information we have gathered about the universe to date has reached us via various forms of electromagnetic waves. Visible light, radio waves, and other types of radiation detected by astronomers are manifestations of the same physical phenomenon -- electromagnetic waves. The extraordinary image of the cosmos, along with mysterious black holes and the Big Bang from which the universe emerged, is indirectly due to the astronomical revolution that allowed astronomers to reach beyond observations in visible light in the twentieth century. We are currently on the threshold of a much greater breakthrough that takes us beyond observations in electromagnetic waves. Information about what is happening in the universe also reaches us via gravitational waves, particles called neutrinos, and cosmic radiation. The existence of independent sources of information is a new quality in astronomy and the seed of another revolution. This astronomical freedom of speech is called multi-media astronomy.
