Hubble by Robin Kerrod

Hubble by Robin Kerrod

High above the Earth's hazy atmosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope has literally opened up a new window on the Universe, as its creators planned, and is returning images and data that are amazing and astounding astronomers. It is showing in unprecedented detail stars being born and in their final death throes. It is finding evidence of awesome black holes and new solar systems in the making. And it is peering deeper into space than ever before, looking back to a time when the Universe itself was newborn. An expert and lively commentary by one of the world's leading popular astronomy writers complements the stunning images, making this spectacular and essential reading for everyone aiming to understand what makes the Universe tick.

Robin Kerrod is an astronomy and space writer with a string of best-selling titles to his credit, including The Sky at Night, The Star Guide, Apollo, The Journeys of Voyager and History of NASA. He has also authored a multimedia Space Encyclopedia on CD-ROM. A Fellow both of the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Interplanetary Society, he is an avid globe-trotter, travelling to space centres and observatories, and to witness astronomical phenomena such as eclipses and comets. Robin lives near Salisbury, England.
