Hubble: A Journey Through Space and Time Hardcover – April 1, 2010

by Edward Weiler (Author)

See all formats and editions
NASA's first book on the Hubble Space Telescope marks the 20th anniversary of one of history's most important scientific tools. Here is Hubble's great visual legacy to humanity in stunning images that are benchmarks of astronomy and photography. Of the more than 100 classic Hubble images that were selected by NASA's experts, the 20 most significant are accompanied by commentaries by notable scientists. Veteran astronauts from NASA's five remarkable manned missions to maintain the telescope also contribute to this volume, making it an authoritative account of a magnificent scientific achievement. Beyond its scientific contributions, twenty years of Hubble research and imagery--ranging from our planetary neighbors to the edge of time and space--have had a profound impact on the world's imagination and spiritual growth, as documented in this inspiring book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Addition to My Hubble Book Collection
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
Every few years I look for a new Hubble Space Telescope book to enjoy the images that come from the upgraded sensors and technology that have been added over the last 7 or 8 years. This book does not disappoint. So many breathtaking images (that really put you in your place and understand your place in the universe), and in a really well put together large format as well. Definitely recommended for cosmology / astrophotography fans, especially if you haven't purchased a Hubble product in a while.

Will be interesting to see what the first books from the James Webb Space Telescope look like, but we've got a few years so enjoy this in the meantime. This is also a good "mobile" coffee table book too because unlike most coffee table books it doesn't way 47 pounds and/or completely cover a person's lap / lower body. Very easy to pick up, hold in one hand and thumb through with the other, while still maintaining that large format detail.

Amazing and Beautiful - it's is hard to say anything less.

I could not wait to receiv this and when I received it I couldn't put it down. Not only are the pictures incredible, but it is packed with interesting facts not only about the data it obtains, but about how it came into being, and each of the missions that have served to give it the ability to provide those amazing images.

this will become a treasured tennant of my bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015

Bought this for my space-loving friend for Christmas. She adored it, started to flip through it, and forgot we were Skyping, so I suppose that's as good a recommendation as any. I certainly can't speak to the validity of the science, but it's a hefty, sturdy book with clear pictures. I thought it was worth the money.

Unbelievable photos with text that weaves itself throughout the volume as if you're in the milky way right from your own living room. Out of this world! Run, don't walk...actually type as fast as you can and order now from Amazon!

Really good contents, images and material (paper is semiglossy, so easy to read almost at any angle, no much reflection of light). I bought other 2 books about the Hubble telescope and 3 of them are complement. Very happy.

Short of actually going into space and seeing with your own eyes through a powerful telescope such as the Hubble, this is the next best thing.
This publication is for your library of Astronomy, bar none.

3.0 out of 5 stars Superbe livre mais livraison catastrophique
Reviewed in France on March 14, 2014
Verified Purchase
Le livre en lui même est incroyable: très beau et très intéressant. La livraison quand à elle a été catastrophique: Le livre a été très mal emballé (pas de papier bulle à l’intérieur d'un simple carton ce n'est pas digne d'un livre comme celui ci), le carton est arrivé complétement déchiré avec des coins du livre apparents. Le livre a donc été endommagé!
