Hubble Focus: Our Amazing Solar System

National Aeronautics and Space Administration

3.5/5 ( ratings)

Past books have taken readers into Hubble’s history and given a wide overview of the telescope and its mission. The Hubble Focus e-book series will be more topic-specific and emphasize current scientific investigations.

Within the past decade, Hubble has seen asteroid collisions, the disintegration of an icy comet and countless other encounters. Many of these observations were unexpected and help scientists understand how the solar system is changing, said Jennifer Wiseman, senior project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope.

“Many intriguing observations explored in these e-books were never planned,” she said. “That’s what makes these books especially captivating, because we’re talking about discoveries in recent years that we never dreamed were possible when Hubble launched.”

The first e-book is a stunning collection of high-resolution photos and interactive videos from the space telescope, with chapters covering topics ranging from weather on other planets to potentially habitable moons.

One focal point lies in the story of how Hubble’s role studying planets, moons, asteroids and comets has led and complemented the efforts of spacecraft and landers dispatched throughout the solar system.
