Beautiful book for someone you loves spaces

Wonderful pictures.

A beautifully illustrated book about the Hubble Telescope and what it has revealed about our universe

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

There is so much about this book to recommend. There are marvelous photographs that one will want to look at again and again. Regions of star formation, gaseous clouds where stars are formed. There are photographs of spiral galaxies and other types of galaxies. The Hubble telescope can see 90 percent of the way outward and backward in time to the big bang itself. Photographs of exploding supernova fragments, The book describes Cepheid variable stars used to calibrated distances. Other star types are described and shown - red and blue supergiant stars and regions where astronomers are fairly certain there are white dwarf stars and in another region a neutron star can be found ( page 184 , remnant of supernova explosion in Large Magellanic cloud) . All the photographs are catalogued with what they are, where they are located and the distance from Earth. One can learn a lot from reading this book. There is also the history of the telescope, of how it has been serviced and photographs of the space telescope in orbit and being serviced by various astronauts including astronaut John Grunsfeld. The story of how things went wrong and the tenacity to get things right adds a more human touch to the story. The book describes how thanks to the Hubble space telescope our view of the universe we live in has been enriched enormously.

Lots of great photos

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

I gave this to my nephew for Christmas. He's at an age where he's too cool to think anything is cool, so it's hard to tell what he thought of it. I thought it was great; lots of pictures, well written. I only wish it had more (or better) wide-view shots of the deep field. I was hoping for something that would really give you an idea of how small our galaxy is out there with everything else (we had a Hubble deep field poster in one of my college astronomy classes that did just that, and it was awesome).

WOW what can I say? This book is incredible. The pictures and write ups, I love Astrophysics and am studying it on my own. The Hubble Telescope has a major to play in Space exploration. And a awsum team worked their butt off to make it and put it in Space.

Increíbles imagenes del Hubble.

Reviewed in Mexico on June 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

Un libro de alta calidad en su impresión. Las fotos por sí mismas valen el libro, sin agregarles nada. Les añaden algunas explicaciones y anecdotas, pero las imagenes son espléndidas y también vienen fotografía del mismo telescopio. Una maravilla para tu colección Cosmológia. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Immagini spettacolari

Reviewed in Italy on March 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

E' scritto in inglese, ma l'inglese scientifico per sua natura é semplice da interpretare, quindi non stanca neanche un pigro come me. In compenso, le immagini sono spettacolari al punto da rimanere incantati ad ogni pagina.

Un super livre , Les images sont d’une super qualité à ce niveau là c’est un très beau livre.
Ceci dit très déçu de l’emballage , livre arrivé tout abîmé vraiment dérangeant quand cela est un cadeau et au prix du livre je ne m’attendais pas à cela on dirait presque qu’il était d’occasion ! Impossible de le renvoyer avant noël . Sinon une super édition.
