Petracca G.: E' scritto in inglese, ma l'inglese scientifico per sua natura é semplice da interpretare, quindi non stanca neanche un pigro come me. In compenso, le immagini sono spettacolari al punto da rimanere incantati ad ogni pagina.

Noel Wass: There is so much about this book to recommend. There are marvelous photographs that one will want to look at again and again. Regions of star formation, gaseous clouds where stars are formed. There are photographs of spiral galaxies and other types of galaxies. The Hubble telescope can see 90 percent of the way outward and backward in time to the big bang itself. Photographs of exploding supernova fragments, The book describes Cepheid variable stars used to calibrated distances. Other star types are described and shown - red and blue supergiant stars and regions where astronomers are fairly certain there are white dwarf stars and in another region a neutron star can be found ( page 184 , remnant of supernova explosion in Large Magellanic cloud) . All the photographs are catalogued with what they are, where they are located and the distance from Earth. One can learn a lot from reading this book. There is also the history of the telescope, of how it has been serviced and photographs of the space telescope in orbit and being serviced by various astronauts including astronaut John Grunsfeld. The story of how things went wrong and the tenacity to get things right adds a more human...

Cuautlic: Un libro de alta calidad en su impresión. Las fotos por sí mismas valen el libro, sin agregarles nada. Les añaden algunas explicaciones y anecdotas, pero las imagenes son espléndidas y también vienen fotografía del mismo telescopio. Una maravilla para tu colección Cosmológia. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
