The Hubble Space Telescope is a technological
wonder of our age that has fascinated millions with its
beautiful and awe-inspiring images of the Universe.
Fully updated with over 40 brand new images, this stunning
new edition showcases the Hubble Space Telescope’s most
spectacular—and most recent—discoveries such as the
water plumes of Jupiter’s moon Europa, the beautiful
Necklace Nebula, hidden structure in distant galaxies, and
the mysteries of dark matter and energy. Giles Sparrow’s expert narrative brings Hubble’s
fascinating story up to date, telling how it became one of
the most successful scientific projects of all time; charting its
origins and troubled launch in 1990, the emergency repair of
its defective mirror, the advances made by four subsequent
servicing missions, and the lasting impact of the most amazing
astronomical instrument ever created.
Hubble—Legacy Edition will take you on a journey
through space in more than 400 glorious full-color images.
