Time, space, and a telescope: Hubble s most magnificent images With investigations into everything from black holes to exoplanets, the
Hubble Telescope has changed not only the face of astronomy, but also our very sense of being in the universe. On the
25th anniversary of its launch into low-earth orbit, TASCHEN celebrates its most breathtaking deep space images both as
scientific feats and as
photographic masterpieces. Ultra high-resolution and taken with almost no background light, these pictures have answered some of the most
compelling questions of time and space, while also revealing new mysteries, like the strange dark energy that sees the universe expanding at an ever-accelerated rate. In generous square format with several foldouts, the pictures mesmerize in their
iridescent colors, intricate textures, and
vast, fragile forms.
The collection is accompanied by an essay from photography critic
Owen Edwards and an interview with
Zoltan Levay, who explains how the pictures are composed. Veteran Hubble astronauts
Charles F. Bolden, Jr. and
John Mace Grunsfeld also offer their insights on Hubble s legacy and future space exploration.
