Great addition to by bookcase in my “man cave”!!
Text is in multiple languages (English, French and German) and is informative yet concise so doesn't distract from the images.
New observations made using the Hubble Space Telescope indicate that the universe is expanding at the rate of just under 43 miles per second (70 kilometers per second) per megaparsec, a distance equivalent to 3.26 million light-years. This is going to become a legacy book in my personal library and passed on to future interested viewers, Carefully and meticulously handcrafted and assembled, this publication is a feast for your eyes of the awesome vastness and beauty of the cosmos without having physically leaving the bounds of Mother Earth. Could not be happier with this purchase, highly recommended!
As astronomers’ abilities to measure the distance and Doppler shift of galaxies improved over the years, Hubble’s and Humason’s discovery of the expanding universe was confirmed. The Hubble Space Telescope Autor: Owen Edwards ; John Mace Grunsfeld ; Charles F. Bolden Jr. ; Zoltan Levay – Come face to face with the most breathtaking images from the Hubble Telescope, one of the greatest tools in the history of science.
The small things like this show the exquisite quality of this book.
On the 30th anniversary of its launch into low-earth orbit, this updated edition of Expanding Universe presents 30 brand new images, unveiling more hidden gems from the Hubble’s archives.

Well produced and plenty of content. There's too much gold in the universe. Now we can more reliably address the broader picture of the universe's origin, evolution and destiny." It's large format and beautiful big photos make it a wonderful coffee table book to be dipped into during a spare moment. Scientists have come up with a new measurement for the expansion rate of the universe, leading to questions regarding the discrepancies between current observations and the model of the universe that astronomers have relied on for years. What a book.
A rapid expansion rate indicates the universe did not require as much time to reach its present size, and so it is younger than if it were expanding more slowly. Beautiful.

A decade before Hubble made his observations, a number of physicists and mathematicians had established a consistent theory of an expanding universe by using Einstein's field equations of general relativity.Applying the most general principles to the nature of the universe yielded a dynamic solution that conflicted with the then-prevalent notion of a static universe.
Was bought as a gift for someone who loves astro photography and it went down well. Please try again. The most beautiful, incredible, spectacular images the Hubble Space Telescope has taken in it’s 30 long history, compiled in this wonderful book.
