Astronomical photography is an extraordinary instrument for opening up the profound mysteries of the universe. This Book contains an exceptional collection of the most recent and significant telescopes as well as the Hubble Space Telescope. From the familiar, but still captivating images of planets in our solar system to the fascinating outlines of the distant galaxies.

As science moves, this book is probably getting "old", but the photos in this book are sensational. There are many paired photos showing the difference in resolution between the Hubble Space Telescope before its repair in 1993 and after. There are discussion of the discoveries made possible by the Hubble Space Telescope and others. There are wonderful photos of planets taken from the Voyager spacecraft. Really a spectacular book.
