Hubble Vision

Further Adventures with the Hubble Space Telescope

Once it became clear that the Hubble Space Telescope was going to be a successful observatory, and after the success of the first Hubble Vision book, Jack Brandt and I decided to update it. Cambridge was very keen on having an expanded edition of the book, since the first one had sold so well. We took a fresh look at the scientific returns from the telescope. Lots of new images were pouring in, and the scientific discoveries being made were compelling. As with the Visions of the Cosmos book published a few years later, we were spoiled for choice, which was amazing, considering how disastrous the telescope's early years had been. We had the opportunity to talk to astronauts who had worked on the refurbishing missions, which were absolute space ballets.

At the same time, I was reworking the planetarium show Hubble Vision to keep it up-to-date. Today it's called HUBBLE Vision 2 and occupies an honored spot in the Loch Ness Productions distribution catalog. Jack and I knew the telescope story still had legs. Our intuition played out well; the second edition of Hubble Vision sold very well, and continues to show up in secondary markets.
