Expanding Universe. the Hubble Space Telescope by Charles F. Bolden Jr.

Grunsfeld, the two former Hubble astronauts who now head NASA, contribute brief messages about their telescope, and all the text is also translated into French and German.ĭavid Perlman is The San Francisco Chronicle’s science editor. Each is a magnificent work of art, but not an astronomy lesson, although there is a fascinating explanation of how the full-color images have been reconstructed from the telescope’s spectrum data. Unfortunately, however, there is virtually no text to explain the images. Thus every photographic page in this book offers us an opportunity to gaze into a different and violent cosmic event - not bad for a picture book! and John Mace Grunsfeld, the astronauts who worked on Hubble, and by Zoltan Levay, who turned Hubble's data into famous photos. and John Mace Grunsfeld, the astronauts who worked on. Updated with 30 photos to mark 30 years of Hubble, this book includes comment by Charles F. Updated with 30 photos to mark 30 years of Hubble, this book includes comment by Charles F. The Hubble has already helped answer many profound questions about the past and future of our universe, and will pose even more. Revel in the images from the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the great tools in the history of science. There are even suggestions of the dark energy that still puzzles cosmologists. To astronomers, of course, the Hubble has provided far more than pictures, for each image reveals details of phenomena that have long puzzled astrophysicists on Earth: panoplies of new-forming stars, collisions of galaxies far distant from our own, and stellar explosions, or supernovae, that could harbor black holes in their hearts.
