Hubble’s Universe: 2nd Ed; Greatest Discoveries and Latest Images

Terence Dickinson

The first edition of Hubble’s Universe displayed 300 pages of high-resolution celestial portraits selected by bestselling astronomy writer Terence Dickinson from the initial 22 years of the Hubble Space Telescope’s exploration of distant galaxies. With the telescope now at the apex of its imaging capabilities, this second edition adds another chapter with more than 36 completely new images, including the first publication of a four-page fold-out of the Andromeda Galaxy, the nearest spiral galaxy to Earth, revealing more than one million individual stars. Thanks to Dickinson’s expertise with Hubble’s history and discoveries and his access to top Hubble scientists for insight and accuracy, the text includes facts and tidbits not found in any other book. Combined with 330 brilliant images, the clear, succinct and illuminating narrative brings to life the fascinating forces at work in the universe. AUTHOR: Terence Dickinson is the author of 15 astronomy books, including the international bestseller NightWatch and The Backyard Astronomer’s Guide. 330 colour photographs and 8 page gatefold
