As deputy director of the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute, Grunsfeld is among the first to experience the dazzling complexity of cosmic chaos occurring in space. He’ll be sharing Hubble’s expansive collection of spectacular images such as star births in the extreme, sheets of debris, shredded remains of old supernovas and light echoing from supergiant stars!
