Product Description

High above the Earth's hazy atmosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope has opened up a window on the universe and is returning images and data that are amazing and astounding astronomers. It is showing sarts being born and in their final death throes. It is finding evidence of awesome black holes and new solar systems in the making. And it is peering deeper into space that ever before, looking back to a time when the universe itself was newborn. A lively commentary accompanies the stunning images in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, 27 Jun 2009

By	A. Jeffery (Sussex, U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hubble: The Mirror on the Universe (Paperback)

This book has been worth every penny! The pictures are amazing, and the choice of stating with us and moving out in distance to the edge of the the known universe is inspired. Everyone I have shown it to has found it hard to put down. It doesn't contain a lot of information, but this makes it an ideal introduction to the wonders out there.

This review is from: Hubble: The Mirror on the Universe (Paperback)

This is a well written book on the hubble space telescope with plenty of images to entertain and amaze you. Roben Kerrod does an excellent job of making cosmology theories accessible to the common man. The theories and descriptions of the universe and its wonders are fascinating.
