Experiencing Hubble – Understanding the Greatest Images of the Universe

A telescope with a crystal-clear view is a few hundred miles above Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope is the most important and productive scientific instrument ever built, as it has been amassing discoveries that rival those of history’s greatest scientists and explorers. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it Hide the full description.

Hubble’s location high above the atmosphere gives it an unparalleled vantage point for investigating phenomena throughout the universe.

A series of comet strikes on Jupiter produced Earth-sized debris in the giant planet’s atmosphere.

It’s most famous image shows a scene of new star creation in the Eagle Nebula.

These and more than half a million other images reveal never-before-seen features of planets, stars, and galaxies with breathtaking clarity that sets Hubble apart from all other telescopes. It is a good time to assess Hubble’s accomplishments, as it enters the third decade of its operational life, by studying a carefully chosen sample of its landmark images in a visual feast that includes many of the greatest discoveries in astronomy during the 1990s and 2000s.

Experiencing Hubble: Understanding the Greatest Images of the Universe is an overview that takes you on a voyage of discovery that delights the eye, feeds the imagination, and unlocks new secrets of the universe.

Get it immediately. Experiencing Hubble is about understanding the greatest images of the universe. Professor David M. Meyer is a frequent user of the Hubble Space Telescope and is an award-winning educator. Professor Meyer has made Hubble images the hallmark of his popular astronomy lectures to undergraduates, amateur astronomy, and the general public, which teach fundamental concepts and recent breakthroughs through the super-sharp eye of Hubble.

The background needed for a well-informed tour of the realm investigated by Hubble is reviewed in Experiencing Hubble. For experienced stargazers, Dr. Meyer gives a fascinating perspective on the work of the superstars of telescopes.

There are ten fascinating scientific stories.

Dr. Meyer chose 10 Hubble images based on their visual beauty, scientific impact, and breadth of subject matter. Each image is the focus of its own lecture, which uses the famous picture as a jumping-off point for exploring different aspects of the cosmos that Hubble has revealed in startling new detail. You get a wide-ranging education as you travel from the solar system to the farthest reaches of the universe.

There are comets and asteroids. The life cycles of stars. The evolution of the universe. There is a dark matter. There is evidence for the big bang.

Professor Meyer’s Top 10 list also shows you the four images cited above.

There are so many stars that they sparkle like gems toward the center of the universe.

Professor Meyer’s Top 10 list is only the beginning, since Experiencing Hubble includes hundreds of other astronomical photos, historical images, diagrams, and animations that take you deep into the fascinating scientific stories behind each of his icons. Dr. Meyer talks about his own experiences on the world’s biggest telescopes, including Hubble, giving a glimpse of the wonder that inspired all astronomy and their ongoing excitement at the flood of data from Hubble. It is as if a picture window on the universe has been wiped clean for the first time with this instrument.
