    Description of Webb’s Universe: The Space Telescope Images That Reveal Our Cosmic History

    The definitive and most up-to-date book on the James Webb Space Telescope, including its stunning images, written by pioneering space expert Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

    With mind-blowingly detailed images from the world’s most powerful telescope, Webb’s Universe reveals the depths of our cosmos in all its jaw-dropping beauty.

    The first stunningly clear images of the very depths of the universe using James Webb’s groundbreaking infrared technology were released in July 2022, forever changing the way we see and understand the origins of our existence. Webb continues to amaze us and inform us in equal measure through various discoveries, such as:

    • The never-before-seen bright stars surrounding the cosmic cliffs of the Carina Nebula
    • The intricate details of dying stars
    • The first detection of a crucial carbon molecule, which forms the foundations of life as we know it

    Bringing her passion as well as her expert knowledge of space and Webb in particular, Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock demystifies these stunning images and breaks down the essential science behind each picture, explaining what we’re seeing and learning from the world’s most powerful space telescope.
