About the Book

Dramatic images never before published in a single volume. High above the dirty window of Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) enjoys a clear view of the universe. Hubble uses hundreds of the latest, most spectacular images from the HST to illustrate a comprehensive astronomy reference. Stargazers will be astonished to see in color pictures what were once fuzzy photographs, dots on a star map or words in a textbook. Hubble explains how new discoveries are revising scientific understanding of the Universe. Detailed images of the Eagle Nebula show several fingers rising above a massive gas cloud. At the end of each fingertip -- the width of our solar system -- is the birth of a star. The book covers the observable universe in six sections: Stars in the Firmament Stellar Death and Destruction Gregarious Galaxies The Expansive Universe Solar Systems The Heavenly Wanderers Clear and concise text explains the fascinating history of astronomy and the development of the HST. Hubble transports readers to the planets of our solar system and on to galaxies millions -- even billions -- of light years away. These dramatic, unforgettable images will bring into sharp focus how the Universe is unfolding in new and astonishing ways.

Review :
A testament to both the wondrous technology... and the majesty of a universe... an intelligently organized book... fascinating and informative, I recommend Hubble for young and older readers alike.-- (12/01/2003) Glorious photographs from the Hubble space telescope... some of the most important taken by the telescope.-- (12/03/2003) Only 13 pages of this book don't have an astronomical picture on them... a feast of photography.-- (02/01/2004) Packed with breathtaking images... text is helpful, as jargon-free as a subject like this can be and appropriate for adults and older children. This is one coffee-table book that may actually get read cover to cover.-- (11/01/2003) Science Books and Films' Top Ten Science Photography Books for 2004: An absolutely spectacular book with sumptuous high-quality, full-color photographs.--Science Books and Films (11/01/2004) Spectacular images... these are beautiful immensities to contemplate.-- (11/30/2003) Stunning... 300 gorgeous Hubble images... well written, understandable text... a great reference book for any secondary school library.-- (02/01/2004) The most images published in a single volume... clear concise text explaining the fascinating history of astronomy and... the HST.-- (01/01/2004) Who knew the heavens were this beautiful?... A thoroughly accessible primer on 21st-century astronomy... worth the price for the images alone.-- (12/13/2003) Without doubt a beautiful book... this is a splendid book and is recommended for both secondary schools and public libraries.-- (04/01/2004) A helpful perspective of the vast realm astronomers are dealing with.--Rob Lowman"Los Angeles Daily News" (12/17/2003) An excellent astronomy resource and a must-purchase for all school and public libraries.--Caitlin Augusta"Science Books and Films" (04/01/2004) The choice for the reader who just wants to absorb the gorgeousness of what's out there.--Charles Matthews"Knight Ridder Newspapers" (12/07/2003) What makes this book by space writer Kerrod stand out is the accompanying text that places the beautiful pictures in context.--D.E. Hogg"Choice" (04/01/2004)
