Space, Stars, and the Beginning of Time by Elaine Scott

Space, Stars, and the Beginning of Time by Elaine Scott

Have you ever wished you could travel back in time? Or visit a galaxy light-years away? Or see a star being born? The Hubble telescope has allowed scientists to do just that. The Hubble's dazzling images have transformed astronomy, shedding light on the deepest mysteries of the cosmos, sparking new discoveries and turning speculation into fact. Its gaze has helped astronomers find new galaxies, look back in time almost to the Big Bang, and verify the existence of dark energy, the mysterious force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Through the eye of the Hubble, Elaine Scott skillfully guides readers along the evolution of our universe, investigating a question that was once unanswerable: "Where did we come from?"

She is the author of several books on space and other subjects, including Our Moon: Fresh Revelations About Earth's Closest Partner, Space, Stars, and the Beginning of Time, and many others.
