Hubble: An Overview of the Space Telescope
Since 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has given the world a new view of the universe. Successful beyond all expectations, the telescope is now more technologically advanced than when it was launched, thanks to the maintenance and upgrades of five NASA space shuttle servicing missions. Hubble’s scientific contributions appear in textbooks, museums and media sites worldwide, and Hubble imagery has influenced art, dance, music, cinema and fashion. This image-packed, fixed-layout e-book provides an overview of the Hubble Space Telescope with sections that briefly describe its history, design, operation, science, technology transfers and cultural impact.Download:

Hubble Focus: Galaxies through Space and Time
Hubble Focus is a series of e-books that dive deeper into specific fields of astronomy that have been forever changed by Hubble’s explorations. Hubble Focus: Galaxies through Space and Time is the second book in the series, describing some of Hubble’s recent discoveries about galaxies — the homes of stars, nebulas and planets — from our own Milky Way to the most distant galaxies ever seen. These discoveries are helping us understand how galaxies evolve and how the universe itself has come to be the way it is today.
