The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the most distant known galaxy and the most massive known star, and has been at the front lines of all the most pressing questions in astrophysics. This is an illustrated account of Hubble's breathtaking discoveries.
The Hubble Space Telescope is arguably the single most successful scientific instrument ever built. It has discovered the most distant known galaxy and the most massive known star, and has been at the front lines of all the most pressing questions in astrophysics: the age of the Universe, the nature of gamma ray bursters, and the discovery of extrasolar planets. This is an illustrated account of Hubble's breathtaking discoveries.
