Rate this book
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 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.

An excellent collection of photos from the Chandra x-ray observatory and Hubble telescope. This books contains photos and concepts of distant galaxies, star clusters, nebula, and strange phenomena. The book contains gorgeous photos with small explanations of what is depicted. Lacking is greater detail on what is portrayed. Even so, as a coffee table book of space related photos, this is quite good. Worthy of a read for those interested in the subject.
