This is a brief yet satisfying history of the Hubble Telescope. My favorite aspect of this book is that even though the language is plain and easy to understand, nothing is dumbed down. The concepts are complex yet worded in a way that makes them accessible to any layman. For one, the "planet recipe" was mind-blowingly simple, easy to understand and more fun than any explanation in any textbook I ever had in school, loved it.
