Reviews
"Since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope has produced a cornucopia of provocatively beautiful images of planets, nebulae, and galaxies. Here you will see some of the best of these images, but more importantly you will learn about the science behind them, coming away with a deeper and more profound appreciation for our universe." --Sean Carroll, author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe "With a comprehensive introduction by Brian Greene and narratives by Ethan Siegel, this book is not only a visual feast but also an authoritative resource for anyone interested in the marvels of modern astronomy and physics." --Jennifer W. Lopez, space technologist and National Geographic Explorer "As astronauts, through the windows of our spaceships, not only our eyes but our hearts and minds are opened to the awe and wonder of our planetary home--to the reality check of who and where we all are together on a planet in space. Through the visions shared through the stunning imagery of the James Webb Telescope, all of us as Earthlings on our planetary spaceship can open our hearts and minds even wider to the awe and wonder of our universe--to the Infinite Cosmos." --Nicole Stott, NASA astronaut and author of Back to Earth " Infinite Cosmos: Visions from the James Webb Space Telescope is a book for the ages... whether you are a relative newcomer to looking up in wonder or a seasoned astronomer... The saga of its tortuous, nail-biting but triumphantly solved engineering problems is expertly written." --Leonard David, Space Insider columnist, Space.com, "Since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope has produced a cornucopia of provocatively beautiful images of planets, nebulae, and galaxies.

Synopsis
From the years of design and manufacturing through launch and deployment to the extraordinary images and the new science they inform, Infinite Cosmos showcases the revelations coming from the James Webb Space Telescope-the sharpest planetary vistas and the deepest views of the cosmos humankind has ever seen. Stars forming in clouds of cosmic dust. Jupiter and its moons sharper than we've ever seen them. Galaxies billions of years old. The first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have electrified the world-and astonished veteran scientists with the wealth of information they reveal. In INFINITE COSMOS, National Geographic tells the 20-year saga of the telescope's development and the feats of science needed to send it into orbit around the sun, a million miles from Earth. Page after page showcase more than 100 spectacular photographs picturing the cosmos as never seen before, from stardust coalescing in the Eagle Nebula's "pillars of creation" to glittering galaxies, newly discovered exoplanets, deep-space fields of stars, and the planets of our solar system in vivid detail. The definitive printed record of these historic astronomical accomplishments, this is a book that inspires awe and admiration, perfect for space and aerospace enthusiasts, libraries, and anyone who looks up in wonder at the starry skies., From the years of design and manufacturing through launch and deployment to the extraordinary images and the new science they inform, Infinite Cosmos showcases the revelations coming from the James Webb Space Telescope--the sharpest planetary vistas and the deepest views of the cosmos humankind has ever seen.
