"A reminder that the finest telescope in space might also be the greatest camera ever created." — The Wall Street Journal
Take a breathtaking journey through the cosmos with the updated and expanded second edition of Hubble's Universe: Greatest Discoveries and Latest Images. Bestselling astronomy writer Terence Dickinson curates a magnificent visual portfolio, showcasing over 330 high-resolution celestial portraits captured by the legendary Hubble Space Telescope.
With Hubble operating at the absolute peak of its imaging capabilities, this edition introduces an all-new chapter featuring 36 completely new images. The absolute crown jewel? A spectacular four-page fold-out of the Andromeda Galaxy—our nearest spiral neighbor—revealing over one million individual stars in astonishing detail.
Drawing on Dickinson's unparalleled access to top Hubble scientists, this book goes beyond the stunning visuals, delivering behind-the-scenes facts, insights, and historical context you won't find anywhere else. It’s a beautifully produced volume that brings the fascinating, invisible forces of the universe right into your living room.
Praise for Hubble's Universe:
"Superbly well produced. Any engagement with this 'cosmic portfolio,' from picture gazing to deep reading, is grandly rewarded." — Booklist
"The book's precise descriptions and captions brilliantly complement the 300 full-color Hubble images... this is an amazing book... outstanding." — Library Journal (Starred Review)
🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"As someone who spends countless nights out in the observatory capturing photons from distant galaxies, I can tell you that Hubble is the gold standard we all look up to. This book isn't just a collection of pretty pictures; it’s a masterclass in what the universe looks like when we push human engineering to its absolute limits. The Andromeda fold-out alone is a showstopper. Whether you're an active astrophotographer looking for inspiration or you just want a truly awe-inspiring coffee table book, this one deserves a prime spot in your home."
