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

"JWST is simply blowing the doors off the house with its breathtaking imagery and remarkable revelations about the universe and its denizens, including discoveries made in the deepest look yet, back to a time soon after the big bang. And who better to be the Master Expositor of these first JWST results, presented in Infinite Cosmos, than Ethan Siegel, the most prolific and lucid astrophysical science writer on social media today." --Carolyn Porco, Voyager scientist and leader of the Cassini Imaging Science team
