This book tells the story of the dramatic activities in space today, through astonishing satellite images retrieved from The Hubble Space Telescope, Galileo and Cassini spacecraft, and the landers on Mars.
This unique and stunning collection of digital images from NASA captures the visual drama, beauty, and challenging activity of the universe, including star-forming clouds of gas, the most detailed image ever obtained of the sun, violent collisions between galaxies billions of light years away, and new discoveries confirming the existence of super-massive black holes. Dr Raman Prinja explains the incredible breakthroughs these images have made in our understanding of the
universe, in particular the fresh perspectives that scientists have gained on the structure and origin, as well as the projected future - and fate - of the universe.
