From the authors of How to Find the Apollo Landing Sites this is a guide to connecting the
view above with the history of recent scientific discoveries from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Each selected HST photo is shown with a sky map and a photograph or drawing to illustrate where
to find it and how it should appear from a backyard telescope. Here is the casual observer's
chance to locate the deep space objects visually and appreciate the historic Hubble photos in
comparison to what is visible from a backyard telescope. HST objects of all types are addressed
from Messier objects Caldwell objects and NGC objects and are arranged in terms of what can
be seen during the seasons. Additionally the reader is given an historical perspective on the
work of Edwin Hubble while locating and viewing the deep space objects that changed astronomy
forever. Countless people have seen the amazing photographs taken by the Hubble Space
Telescope. But how many people can actually point out where in the sky those objects are? Why
were these objects chosen to be studied? What discoveries were made from the Hubble Space
Telescope photographs? This book is for anyone who wants answers to these questions.
