Few things in life are more vibrant, more beautiful and more majestic than images of space. Thankfully, Coloring the Universe presents everything from nebulae, supernovas, distant galaxies and beyond in one jaw-dropping book., The winning astronomy book to get for anyone who loves and also is curious about the most beautiful images of the Universe, plus what they mean, is Coloring the Universe . With each image you look at after reading it, as well as images that you think back on that you've seen before, you'll wind up seeing more, not less, than you ever saw before. It's not just a beautiful glimpse into the Universe; it's a peek behind-the-scenes at how astronomers are creatively and artistically enabling humanity to see the full extent of what's present., Fascinating, beautiful, and educational. . . . Few things in life are more vibrant, more beautiful and more majestic than images of space. Thankfully, Coloring the Universe presents everything from nebulas, supernovas, distant galaxies and beyond in one jaw-dropping book., In an era when NASA's vast photographic archive is a click away and even the Curiosity Rover is on Instagram, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that photographing the cosmos is an amazing achievement and a complex process. Travis Rector reminds us of this in his excellent book, Coloring the Universe . Rector is an astronomer and an expert on the topic; he's used everything from the Hubble Space Telescope to the Very Large Array to make more than 250 photos during the past two decades. He and his co-authors, Kim Arcand and Megan Watzke of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, bring a photographer's sensibility to the book, explaining just how NASA made some of the stunning photos we too often take for granted., What singles this book out is how it lifts the curtain on the processes by which these spectacular images are made. There are explanations of the astrophysics of celestial objects, how telescopes and cameras capture and record light, as well as the software techniques used to create these striking images. . . . After reading it you'll probably never look at an astronomy image in quite the same way again., In an era when NASA's vast photographic archive is a click away and even the Curiosity Rover is on Instagram, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that photographing the cosmos is an amazing achievement and a complex process.
