Hubble's Universe by Terence Dickinson Pdf

The Hubble Space Telescope. No other telescope combines instant name recognition with the production of consistently spectacular images. Yet few people outside of the astronomy community realize that Hubble is now at the apex of its imaging capabilities. A collection of stunningly detailed pictures, made possible by the new Wide Field Camera 3, has yet to be incorporated into a popular-level book. Until now. Hubble's Universe will be the premier venue for the Hubble Telescope's most recent visual splendors. Bestselling astronomy writer Terence Dickinson showcases extraordinary late-breaking pictures, many of which have yet to receive wide distribution as news stories or in publications outside scientific papers, and presents a breathtaking portfolio drawn from an archive of over 500,000 existing Hubble images. The accompanying text balances accuracy with accessibility, Dickinson's hallmark. And thanks to the author's familiarity with Hubble's history and discoveries and his access to top Hubble scientists for insight and accuracy, the text includes facts and tidbits not found in any other book. Combined with hundreds of brilliant images, the clear, succinct and illuminating narrative brings to life the fascinating forces at work in the universe.

Both informative and beautiful, this book is filled with brilliant images of deep space as well as an insider s perspective by the people who make them."

Expanding Universe by Owen Edwards Pdf

En explorant ses moindres aspects, des trous noirs aux exoplanètes, le télescope Hubble a changé la face de l'astronomie, mais aussi notre propre conscience du cosmos. Pour le 25e anniversaire de la mise en orbite du télescope Hubble, TASCHEN rend hommage aux images de Hubble en tant qu'exploits scientifiques et que chefs-d'oeuvre photographiques. Ces images de très haute résolution, obtenues malgré la quasi absence de lumière, ont répondu à certaines des questions les plus captivantes sur le temps et l'espace, tout en révélant de nouveaux mystères comme l'étrange "énergie sombre", qui accélère sans cesse l'expansion de l'univers. La précision extrême de ces observations se reflète dans celle avec laquelle TASCHEN les a reproduites : les illustrations fascinent par leurs teintes irisées et leurs formes à la fois fragiles, immenses et élégantes. Cette collection est accompagnée d'un essai du critique et spécialiste de la photo Owen Edwards et d'un entretien avec Zoltan Levay, qui explique comment les images ont été composées. Les anciens astronautes Charles F. Bolden, Jr. et John Mace Grunsfeld, qui font autorité dans ce domaine, donnent également leur vision personnelle de l'héritage de Hubble et de l'avenir de l'exploration spatiale.
