Aus den Rezensionen: ! Lars Lindberg Christensen ! und Bob Fosbury ! haben zum 15. Jahrestag des Starts im Jahr 2005 ein grossformatiges Buch zu konzipieren begonnen, das nicht nur Ergebnisse von hohem wissenschaftlichem Wert, sondern auch von atemberaubender Schonheit zeigt. ! Die Autoren berichten von der Entwicklung und der mehrfachen Reparatur sowie dem Instrumentenaustausch des Teleskops und schildern in kurzen Texten, was Hubble alles beigetragen hat zum Verstandnis des Sonnensystems ! und Kosmologie. Als Zugabe gibt es die DVD 'Hubble - 15 Years of Discovery'. (in: bild der wissenschaft, 2006, S. 609)
