Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe
In Large Format, 15 x 11 inches!
The Hubble Space Telescope's work has been an important adjunct to other astronomical research, allowing scientists, for one thing, to age-date star clusters far beyond our own galaxy and to propose an age for the universe of about 12 billion to 16 billion years. It has also inspired lay readers with its trove of magnificent photographs, of which this book gathers more than 100 taken over Hubble's years of duty. The images are accompanied with a well-written explanatory text, altogether adding up to a volume that rewards repeated visits by readers of all ages.
