Hubble: A New Window to the Universe

by D . Duncan (Foreword), R.Williams (Foreword), Daniel Fischer (Author), HilmarDuerbeck (Author), H.Jenkner (Foreword)

Synopsis

At last, a book presenting the fantastic scientific results of the first five years of Hubble Space Telescope observations! While a number of books for the general public emphasize the technological accomplishments of this multi-billion dollar project or deal with the well-publicized flaw in the telescope's optics, Hubble: A New Window to the Universe concentrates on its astronomical achievements. The authors use new and ground-breaking Hubble results to illustrate a wide range of astronomical topics, from the great questions about the universe as a whole to quasars and black holes, and from the life and death of stars to our planetary neighbors in the solar system.
