A lavish coffee-table book featuring spectacular images from the
Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-Ray telescope ever
built
Take a journey through the cosmos with Light from the Void, a stunning
collection of photographs from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's two
decades of operation. The book showcases rarely-seen celestial phenomena
such as black holes, planetary nebulae, galaxy clusters, gravitational
waves, stellar birth and death, and more. Accompanying these images of
incredible natural phenomena are captions explaining how they occur. The
images start close to home and move outward: beginning with images of
the Chandra launch, then moving into the solar system, through the
nearby universe, and finally to the most distant galaxies Chandra has
observed, the book brings readers on a far-out visual voyage.
