Summary

Origins: Our Place in Hubble's Universe presents in stunning photographs events that previous generations of astronomers could only picture in their mind's eye - and which non-astronomers could not even imagine. In the 1990s new technology was applied to telescopes both on Earth and in space, and the result is here for all to see - from resonant views of supernovas and the center of ther Milky Way to the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Sun, and including an extraordinary image of the afterglow of the Big Bang, almost unimaginably far back and far away, just 200,000 years after time zero.
