Description
"Spacecam" celebrates the unique perspective of cameras freed from the confines of Earth: looking back at our own colourful planet and charting the activity of satellites and space shuttles. It also explores the solar system with stunning pictures of our nearest neighbours, and thanks to technology like the Hubble Space Telescope, strange and beautiful images of deep space. With amazing photographs from space-ships 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.
