Synopsis
With investigations into everything from black holes to exoplanets, the Hubble Telescope has changed not only the face of astronomy but also our very sense of being in the universe. On the 30th anniversary of its launch into low-earth orbit, this updated edition of Expanding Universe presents 30 brand new images, unveiling more hidden gems from the Hubble’s archives.
Ultra-high resolution and taken with almost no background light, these pictures have answered some of the most compelling questions of time and space while also revealing new mysteries, like the strange “dark energy” that sees the universe expanding at an ever-accelerating rate.
The collection is accompanied by an essay from photography critic Owen Edwards and an interview with Zoltan Levay, who explains how the pictures are composed. Veteran Hubble astronauts Charles F. Bolden, Jr. and John Mace Grunsfeld also offer their insights on Hubble’s legacy and future space exploration.

Hardcover. 260 S. Spiralnebel wirbeln, Sonnen explodieren, Pulsare pumpen ihren kosmischen Beat, Schlangen aus heißem Gas knebeln blaue Riesen und schwarze Löcher gehen ihren dunklen Geschäften nach - das Weltall ist ein Ort voller fantastischer Spektakel. Um all diese Wunder nicht immer nur gefiltert durch den Nebel unserer Atmosphäre erforschen und bestaunen zu können, wuchtete am 24. April 1990 das Space Shuttle Discovery eine kosmische Sehhilfe ins All, die unser Verständnis des Universums nachhaltig veränderte: Das Hubble-Weltraumteleskop, eine Koproduktion der amerikanischen NASA mit der europäischen ESA, lieferte und liefert Bilder aus den unendlichen Weiten des Alls von bis dahin unbekannter Tiefenschärfe und war ein Augenöffner weit über die bloße Fachwelt hinaus. Hubble wurde zum Medienereignis und machte aus dem romantischen Sternenhimmel von einst eine psychedelische Farbexplosion von atemberaubender, magischer Anziehungskraft.In diesem Jahr feiert der Rockstar der Astronomie (SPIEGEL online) seinen 30. Geburtstag. TASCHEN gratuliert mit dieser aktualisierten Ausgabe von Expanding Universe inklusive 30 brandneuen Aufnahmen, die weitere, bislang verborgene Juwelen aus den Hubble-Archiven enthüllen. Die atemberaubenden Bilder aus dem Weltraum sind zu gleichen Teilen wissenschaftliche Großtaten und fotografische Meisterwerke, die mit besonders schillernden Farben und faszinierenden Details bezaubern.Während Fotoexperte Owen Edwards sich in seinem Essay den Aufnahmen aus einer kunsthistorischen Perspektive widmet, setzt sich Zoltan Levay in einem Interview mit der wissenschaftlich-technischen Seite auseinander. Die Weltraum-Veteranen und führenden NASA-Mitarbeiter Charles F. Bolden, Jr. und John Mace Grunsfeld wiederum geben ihre persönliche Sicht auf Hubbles Vermächtnis und die Zukunft der Weltraumerkundung preis. / Zustand: Schutzumschlag leicht bestossen, ansonsten sehr gut erhaltenes Exemplar Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 2473.
