Imagine being able to see galaxies billions of
light-years away without having to set foot in
a spaceship! For the past 16 years the Hubble
Space Telescope has been sending phenomenal "postcards"
from space. Each new image is another highlight
of
our awesome universe. This book takes the reader
from Hubble's beginnings to the photographs
taken of space 14 billion light-years away from
Earth.
This
48 page hardback book is illustrated with the amazing
photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Each
photo is more surprising than the last and each one gives
scientists more information about "what's
out there."
