A decade of Hubble Space Telescope science : proceedings of the Space Telescope Science Institute Symposium, held in Baltimore, Maryland, April 11-14, 2000 /

The Hubble Space Telescope has made some of the most dramatic discoveries in the history of astronomy. From its vantage point 600km above the Earth, Hubble is able to capture images and spectra that would be difficult or impossible to obtain from the ground. This volume represents some of the most i...
