Miles above the Earth, Hubble Space Telescope has captured a wealth of spectacular color images of distant objects in space. Now you can share in the excitement of NASA astronomers as you browse through Gems of Hubble, a collection of pictures taken from Hubble’s treasure room. These gems include observations of Solar System objects, stars and star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
Educational and fun for all ages, the Gems of Hubble Electronic PictureBook also includes informative text and navigational features that allow you to move at your own pace between the images and captions it contains. This enjoyable, interactive format lets you experience astronomical discovery firsthand while you learn about the vast universe we inhabit.
Electronic PictureBooks are HyperCard® stacks designed to run on a color Macintosh® computer with at least 2.5 megabytes of available RAM, sufficient hard disk space to contain the Electronic Picturebook, System 7.0, and HyperCard 2.1 or HyperCard Player 2.1.
This Electronic PictureBook is one of a series being produced by the Exploration in Education (ExInEd) program at the Special Studies Office of the Space Telescope Science Institute (ST ScI). The purpose of the ExInEd program is to discover new tools and approaches to relate space science and exploration to basic teaching and learning, and it involves searching for new ways to assemble and distribute the results of research, particularly images.
For more information on the ExInEd program, or to provide comments or suggestions on the Electronic PictureBook concept, please write to: Dr. Robert A. Brown, Special Studies Office, Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218. FAX: (410) 516-7450 Internet: rbrown@stsci.edu
