Explore Hubble’s beginnings; see the death of a massive star and be amazed by cosmic collisions; explore deep space and look back in time and so much more. Commentary accompanies an amazing array of Hubble photographs of the universe in this National Geographic book; a “Notes” section follows as does a brief authors’ biography section, and an acronyms and abbreviations glossary.
Divided into five parts . . . Part One: Launch and Aftermath; Part Two: Revival and Redemption; Part Three: Reaching Deeper into the Red; Part Four: Big New Eye; Part Five: Ultima Thule . . . this is the book for every reader interested in seeing the magnificence of the universe or taking a journey of discovery simply by perusing Hubble’s amazing photographs.
