5.0 out of 5 stars There's sooooo much more to life than just our puny planet..., August 17, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Universe: Images from the Hubble Telescope (Hardcover)
...

Came across this book three months ago and have not put it down since. EVERY picture is a work of art in itself! The mind boggles while viewing just one image and to realize that what you're actually looking at is millions and millions of worlds. You realize that there is no end to space, but the moment you realize it, it fades away in your mind and you're amazed all over again and wonder how something cannot have an end.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever looked at the sky (day or night) and wondered what else there might be behind our sky.
The pictures are stunning and the text explains clearly the times leading up to the Hubble Telescope's launch and workings since.

This review is from: Universe: Images from the Hubble Telescope (Hardcover)
Lots of beautiful photographs of the universe. Well worth having if you're into astronomy or just being a sky-gazer.

This review is from: Universe: Images from the Hubble Telescope (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my Great-Grandson who is mezmerized by the Universe and what is out there beyond our small world. In leafing through the book I found it is very educational and the pictures are fascinating to say the least. He is really going to enjoy reading this book.
