About this title

Synopsis

The dazzling vistas that the Hubble Space Telescope has recorded since its launch in 1990 are presented, along with explanations of what exactly Hubble has seen during it's years in orbit. It tells the complete Hubble story -- from the program's shaky start to the extraordinary success that followed, inspiring bigger and better successors in the years to follow. Line drawings of its hardware offer a supplementary understanding of Hubble's technological development.
