The Hubble Space Telescope has been photographing planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae since 1990. This accessible, visual science reference for students and general readers gathers about 300 recent images from the Hubble telescope, many full-page size. The book uncovers the telescope's technical workings, revealing how the images are created and interpreted, and explains how the images support scientists' theories and predictions, even as some images have taken scientists by surprise. The book's color photos, images, and illustrations will appeal to readers of all ages.
