Edwin
Hubble: Mariner of the Nebulae by Gale E. Christianson New York Times Book Review: Christianson has woven a highly entertaining tale of this
officious social climber who fortunately had one saving attribute. Hubble may have been
the most important astronomer since Galileo. Perhaps since Copernicus. |

Visions
of Heaven: The Mysteries of the Universe Revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope by Tom Wilkie and Mark Rosselli The Hubble Space Telescope's spectacular pictures of nearby planets, remote stars, and
distant galaxies captured the public imagination in a way not seen since the heady days of
the Apollo Space Program. In Visions of Heaven, we see their full range, from the stellar
nurseries where young stars are hatched out of immense clouds of gas and dust, to the
magnificent remains, glowing across billions of miles, of once-mighty stars. |
