Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is the story of a journey through space and time revealed by a telescope called Hubble. ... published as part of the European Space Agency's 15th anniversary celebration, presents the exquisite color images for which the telescope has become famous. ... Hubble has pushed the limit of our knowledge far beyond anything possible before its launch. ... Super-sharp images, such as those found here, have enabled astronomers to gain entirely new insights into the workings of a huge range of different astronomical objects." (EurekAlert, July, 2006)
