Lovely book
Fabulous book. It’s beautifully written, photos are gorgeous and she pitches the science at the right level but it is not condescending. It would make a great gift for a child or adult who is Space or Astronomy mad.It’s written by Maggie Aderin-Pocock who is brilliant. When she talks about this subject you can see her enthusiasm and she brings great joy to the subject. I’m a teeny bit biased as I was at the same College of the University of London as she was, just 10 years earlier!

Breathtaking!
This is an absolutely stunning book! It's a good size hardback and pictures are awesome. Some photos were noticeably digitalized and of slightly diminished quality, but that's probably a function of blowing up the original digital pictures. Binding and page-turning a little cheap feeling, but iIll stop quibbling and just say that the way they positioned the pictures was designed to take your breath away! Good explanatory text too, and history. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Photos and Information About what is Out There!
This is a great book with marvelous images taken by JWST. I saw a video of this telescope when in Washington DC at the Air and Space museum. The telescope brings home some awe-inspiring images in other galaxies, far, far away.
