A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

High above the Earth's hazy atmosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope has literally opened up a new window on the Universe and is returning images and data that are amazing and astounding astronomers.This fully revised and updated book presents astounding pictures straight from the telescope, giving readers an exciting and unique view of the universe and revealing how Hubble keeps a watchful eye on our local space neighbourhood, as well as remote solar systems.The images show, in unprecidented detail, stars being born and in their final death throes, evidence of awsome black holes and galactic collisions, and new solar systems in the making.An expert and lively commentary by two of the world's leading popular astronomy writers complements the stunning images, making this book the essential package for anyone who wants to understand how the universe looks and works.

Revue de presse

A collection of the reproduction, with an accompanying text by Robin Kerrod, the author of a string of excellent books on astronomy aimed at a young readership. His descriptions and explanations are a model of clarity. This is a book about the Hubble, and its photographs do not date: they are a stirring reminder of the achievements of the designers and engineers who brought this fantastic instrument to life and sent it into space, and of the astronauts who maintain it. --RPS Journal
