Space. Unique Images from the Hubble Telescope

Space. Unique Images from the Hubble Telescope

NASA began planning the launch of a large telescope in the 1970s, but the space observatory did not reach orbit until 1990. For 30 years, we have been exploring the Universe through images transmitted to Earth by Hubble, discovering and... marveling at it. Within this cover lies the touching story of the launch, adjustment, repair, improvements, and achievements of the legendary telescope, as well as a collection of portraits of the most significant and original cosmic objects, the study of which has formed the basis for bold scientific theories and changed our worldview. Authors: astronomy historian David Devorkin, Robert Smith, science historian and participant in the preparation for the launch of the James Webb telescope. The foreword was written by Robert Kirshner, the Clauser Professor at Harvard University, author of the groundbreaking study on supernovae and the expansion of the Universe, made possible by the Hubble telescope. Scientific editor -- A. M. Krasilnikov, Ph.D., senior researcher at the Laboratory of High Energy Astrophysics of the A. F. Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology.
