Michael Hanlon says the photos "illustrate that our universe is not only deeply strange, but also almost impossibly beautiful."  . This is the definitive book on the Hubble Space Telescope, written by noted astronomer Jim Bell.   Looking deep into space, by definition, means looking back in time—and the Hubble Space Telescope can look very far back, including at stars, nebulae, and galaxies that are millions, even billions, of years old. If there is a single legacy of Hubble as it turns 30 years old and nears the end of its useful life, it is this: It has done more to chronicle the origin and evolution of the known universe than any other instrument ever created. Hubble has also captured an astounding collection of ultraviolet images that include geysers of solar light, Mars’ famous dust storms, exploding stars, solar flares, globular clusters, and actual galaxies colliding. As for scientific milestones, Hubble has helped us learn that the universe is 13.8 billion years old, that just about every large galaxy features a black hole at its center, and that it\'s possible to create 3-D maps of dark matter. Hubble Legacy will not only feature the most stunning imagery captured by the telescope, but also explain how Hubble has advanced our understanding of the universe and our very creation.   The Sky Atlas unveils some of the most beautiful maps and charts ever created during humankind\'s quest to map the skies above us. This richly illustrated treasury showcases the finest examples of celestial cartography—a glorious art often overlooked by modern map books—as well as medieval manuscripts, masterpiece paintings, ancient star catalogs, antique instruments, and other curiosities. This is the sky as it has never been presented before: the realm of stars and planets, but also of gods, devils, weather wizards, flying sailors, ancient aliens, mythological animals, and rampaging spirits. • Packed with celestial maps, illustrations, and stories of places, people, and creatures that different cultures throughout history have observed or imagined in the heavens• Readers are taken on a tour of star-obsessed cultures around the world, learning about Tibetan sky burials, star-covered Inuit dancing coats, Mongolian astral prophets and Sir William Herschel\'s 1781 discovery of Uranus, the first planet to be found since antiquity.• A gorgeous book that delights stargazers and map lovers alikeWith thrilling stories and gorgeous artwork, this remarkable atlas explores our fascination with the sky across time and cultures to form an extraordinary chronicle of cosmic imagination and discovery.The Sky Atlas is a wonderful book for map lovers, history buffs, and stargazers, but also for those who are intrigued by the many wonderful and bizarre ways in which humans have sought to understand the cosmos and our place in it.• A unique map book that expands beyond the terrestrial and into the celestial• A wonderful gift for map lovers, obscure-history fans, mythology buffs, and astrology and astronomy lovers• Great for those who enjoyed What We See in the Stars: An Illustrated Tour of the Night Sky by Kelsey Oseid, Maps by Aleksandra Mizielinska and Daniel Mizielinski, and Atlas of Remote Islands: Fifty Islands I Have Never Set Foot On and Never Will by Judith Schalansky Atınç Çağan Şengül. A little historical background. The universe of 100 years ago. The Great War. General Theory of Relativity is just published. Milky Way was not “a galaxy” it was “the galaxy”. The Big Bang. Currently the most accepted, most supported theory for the early development of the Universe. In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble determined that galaxies further away from us appear to be moving away from us faster than those that are closer.
