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.
