THE UNIVERSE ISN'T QUIET--IT'S WHISPERING QUESTIONS WE'VE JUST STARTED TO HEAR. A polar lander's forgotten bio-signal, a star that dims like a faulty lamp, and metallic spherules dredged from a Pacific abyss-- Unexplained & Unsolved stitches ten true investigations into a single, pulse-quickening journey through space and time. Science writer John Necessary shadows the researchers who chase those whispers: biologists re-examining Viking's data, astronomers decoding fast radio bursts that outshine galaxies for a millisecond, oceanographers trawling for interstellar debris the size of peppercorns. Each chapter drops you into the scene--frost-cracking decks above Europa's plume targets, midnight control rooms where JWST spectra load pixel by pixel, South Pacific squalls shaking a deck crane as alien alloy clatters home. You feel the rivalries, the policy knife-fights, the moment hypotheses flip from heresy to headline. --Real missions, real stakes --Mars, Europa, and worlds beyond mapped in vivid prose --Space mysteries linked into one coherent, mind-stretching narrative --Bold but evidence-anchored solutions at every chapter's end --Extensive endnotes so sceptics can follow every breadcrumb Whether you're a backyard stargazer or a seasoned science geek, this book will make you glance at the night sky with sharper curiosity--and maybe a touch of awe.
