Description

With investigations into everything from black holes to exoplanets, the Hubble Telescope has changed not only the face of astronomy but also our very sense of being in the universe. On the 30th anniversary of its launch into low-earth orbit, this updated edition of Expanding Universe presents 30 brand new images, unveiling more hidden gems from the Hubble’s archives.Ultra-high resolution and taken with almost no background light, these pictures have answered some of the most compelling questions of time and space while also revealing new mysteries, like the strange “dark energy” that sees the universe expanding at an ever-accelerating rate.The collection is accompanied by an essay from photography critic Owen Edwards and an interview with Zoltan Levay, who explains how the pictures are composed. Veteran Hubble astronauts Charles F. Bolden, Jr. and John Mace Grunsfeld also offer their insights on Hubble’s legacy and future space exploration. Read more

Good
Format: Hardcover
It arrived earlier and the book itself is amazing!

Perhaps the highest quality book I own
This really should be a $100 book - no question. The cover is thicker than is common, so the creasing of the dust cover squares around it. The paper that holds the text has a thick linen feel. The images are varnished, and the surrounding black is covered with a different varnish that resists fingerprints. An example of the little touches that make this so special is that if one removes the dust cover and examines the cover itself, not only is the title debossed, but so are the stars. The small things like this show the exquisite quality of this book. Of course, it would be all for naught if the fidelity of the printed images was not of the highest quality, which fortunately is the case. The printing and the paper wonderfully show the information captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, with some images folding out to multiple pages for those special panoramic views. Anyone with the slightest interest in space and the expanding universe will enjoy this book for a very long time. ... show more

Exactly what I wanted, beautiful picture book
Format: Hardcover
I got this as a gift for someone else and now I’m gonna have to buy it again… because I’m not giving this away, it’s too beautiful!!! It has some intro and good information, but it dives quickly into exactly what I wanted: gorgeous, high-definition pictures of the universe. At first I was worried that I accidentally bought it in German, but it just has three languages (I just realized German isn’t one of the languages lol it’s English, Deutsch, and Francais). Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely worth the money. ... show more

Beautiful book
Format: Hardcover
I meant to buy a JTWS book and went down a click hole and found this book and didn’t look at it closely before buying. The pictures are Hubble quality and still amazing. Great coffee table book full of pictures. It was a little confusing with several languages included and not sure what was what but I get it. They didn’t have to do several printings. ... show more

Beautiful photos
Format: Hardcover
Sure, you can see these photos online, but sometimes it’s nice to have them within easy reach on a coffee table. Makes a nice gift - to help people better understand just how small and insignificant we are.?

Wow
This is exactly the type of hubble book I was looking for, sure you can get most of these pictures for free online but they look amazing in high quality print. This book focuses on the amazing hubble pictures and has minimal writing. The foreward and afterword are written in English, German and French. The cover, binding and paper are very high quality (printed in Italy by a company that says it's carbon neutral). The are several nice fold-out pages of larger pics. The chapters and pictures are organized by distance from the earth. There are not many pictures of the solar system but the ones that are included are amazing. I only have one minor "criticism." Although I'm sure it was a conscious decision on part of the authors to minimize the writing by the pictures I think I would have preferred to have some small print caption instead of having to flip to the photo index at the end for a label/explanation. Not a big deal... amazing book. ... show more

Not all in English. Amazing picture book though.. .
Format: Hardcover
It's pretty rediculous the publisher/writer/authors would even contemplate a book in 3 languages. Who in the hell can read this book in its entirety? I'm guessing very few. Especially ones who would even consider this as purchase. Great pictures in high detail though and updated for hubble. I just wish I knew everything being printed on the pages and want to be able to read everything!!! What a miss ... show more
