Status Updates From Hubble

Loved the chapter dedicated to photographs of distant galaxies, with some galaxies pulling stars away from each other and either colliding or being in the process of merging - looks really trippy! I can tell photographing this was one of the Hubble telescope's main purposes, since Edwin Hubble established one time for all that other galaxies than the Milky Way existed. (which was under dispute until the 1920's)

fascinating to not just see those trippy photos of star nebulae, but also being pointed out that we only see them from Earth from one particular angle, and the "cat's eye" nebula is in fact more cylindrical in shape

absolutely amazing almost psychedelic photographs of all the nebulae, galaxies, planets and so on photographed by the Hubble telescope; also goes into detail about the history of the telescope and the technical issues it ran into when first launched

So much to absorb!!
