Adult/High School-Incredible color photography and refreshingly understandable text re-create the wonder and magic of space. Through these fantastic reproductions, the amazing ability of the Hubble Space Telescope is defined and showcased. A prologue explains the work of the American astronomer for whom the telescope is named; an epilogue speaks to the times and worlds beyond Hubble. A cyclone on Mars; the star-forming Keyhole Nebula; the Eagle Nebula, known as the Cradle of Creation for new stars; and an amazing picture of the millions of stars at the center of the Milky Way remind readers that much of science fiction is no longer fiction. The book's large format accentuates the larger-than-life achievements of the Hubble. A crowd pleaser in any library.-Becky Ferrall, Stonewall Jackson High School, Manassas, VA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
