Hubble Space Telescope Discoveries

Hubble Space Telescope e-book
NASA, ESA, STScI

Published in December of 2012, this Hubble Space Telescope e-book explores discoveries from dark energy to colliding galaxies. The book features video, image galleries, and more to reveal the record of Hubble's first two decades of scientific breakthroughs and stunning images of the universe. For more than three decades, Hubble has had a front-row seat of cosmic events: comets plunging into Jupiter, the explosive death of stars, the birth of new solar systems, and more. In the process, it has changed the face of astronomy. Learn about Hubble’s revelations and take a tour of the history and technology of the telescope.
