First Light (Preston book)

''First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe'' is a 1987 non-fiction book on astronomy and astronomers by Richard Preston.
The title refers to the astronomical term first light, which is when a telescope is first used to take an astronomical image after it has been constructed. First light also refers to the moment when stars and galaxies first formed out of a dark universe.
== Content ==
The central character of ''First Light'' is the Hale telescope on Palomar Mountain, which was the world's biggest telescope for more than three decades. Preston describes its history and technical details, and he profiles many of the people involved in astronomical research at Palomar. ''First Light'' portrays astronomers scanning the solar system for minor planets and those seeking the outermost astronomical objects in universe. It describes historical events such as the discovery of quasars and celebrates the scientists' joy in their endeavors, their obsessions and even their thoughts.
