Hubble Legacy

30 Years of Discoveries and Images
by Jim Bell,
Foreword by Astronaut John M. Grunsfeld, Ph.D.

This is the definitive book on the Hubble Space Telescope,
written by noted astronomer Jim Bell.
he Hubble Telescope has done more to chronicle the origin and evolution of the
Tuniverse than any other instrument ever created. It has taught us that the uni-
verse is 13.8 billion years old, that just about every large galaxy features a black hole
at its center, and that we can create 3-D maps of dark matter. Hubble Legacy features
the most stunning imagery captured by the telescope—from geysers of solar light to
exploding stars, solar flares, and galaxies colliding—and also explains how Hubble
has advanced our understanding of our very creation.

Hubble Telescope user DR. JIM BELL is a professor in the School of Earth and
Space Exploration at Arizona State University, an adjunct professor in astronomy
APRIL 2020 at Cornell University, and a visiting scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Masterpieces of the Earth

From Fire to Ice, the Creation of Our World
Text by Michael Bright
From searingly hot deserts to lands of fire and ice,
this book is a vivid journey through the natural wonders
of the seven continents.

ith page after page of spectacular photographs, this book pays homage to the
Wpowerful forces that shape our planet—fire, ice, water, and wind—revealing
a world with extraordinary landscapes and breathtaking geological features. These
images, of geysers spewing scalding water, glaciers chiseling out the mountain-
sides, and red-hot molten lava exploding on contact with the ocean, demonstrate
how Earth’s current appearance resulted from the incessant, powerful, and wide-
spread activity of nature and climate change over the various geological eras. The
portrait that emerges from this exceptional journey through vast patchwork quilts
of salt deposits, colorful canyons, ripple-like sand patterns, and vibrant meltwater
pools and channels, captures a living, endlessly changing, planet.
