Few telescopes in history have had as profound an effect on astronomical research as has the Hubble Space Telescope. Yet its influence is not what most people think. By and large, it has not made singular discoveries—achievements that are its and its alone. Instead Hubble has taken what were hints and suspicions from ground-based observations and turned them into near certainties. It has worked in concert with ground-based observatories and other telescopes to provide a multihued view of the cosmos. It has forced theorists to rethink broad-brush theories and to construct new ones that explain astronomical phenomena in much finer detail. Get lost in the cosmos as recorded by Hubble in these 30 mind-blowing images. 30 color reproductions bound in a handy postcard collection Mail the postcards, or keep the book for your own collection Decorate your office or dorm room with a wall of images Informative introductory text Backs of postcards offer enough room for short messages Perforated for easy removal Oversized postcards may require additional postage Pomegranate’s books of postcards feature exclusive selections of art from museums and artists around the world Published with Scientific American Book: 6.875 x 4.75 x .375 in.
