Spacecam has pulled together some of the most striking images from the preceding 40 years, and present them here as a record of NASA's achievements in space in that time. It has been an extraordinary period of discovery, with the promise of much more to come, and the pictures here, while giving us so much vital scientific information, are also united by their great beauty. To see them is to acknowledge our own vulnerability, and the place of Earth within the vast expanse of the solar system. "Spacecam" celebrates the unique perspective of cameras freed from the confines of Earth: looking back at our own colorful planet and charting the activity of satellites and space shuttles. This title also explores the solar system with stunning pictures of our nearest neighbors, and thanks to technology like the Hubble Space Telescope, strange and beautiful images of deep space. With amazing photographs from spaceships and stations, satellites, space telescopes, probes and planetary rovers, "Spacecam" brings together the beautiful, the pioneering and the scientifically astounding in a spectacular photographic collection. Condition: Good.
