good general information

The photos are a good sampling of what the HST has given the scientific community to work with. The commentary of what the Hubble images mean is easy to understand for someone who is interested but is without a scientific background. The human mind becomes boggled by the immensity of the universe and this book gives one a sense of awe of the diversity of manifestations.
