ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys)

The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is a powerful instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope that captures detailed images of the universe. It enhances Hubble’s ability to observe distant galaxies, stars, and cosmic phenomena by providing high-resolution and wide-field imaging across various wavelengths. ACS helps scientists study the universe’s structure, evolution, and composition, offering insights into galaxies’ formation, dark matter, and cosmic history. Its advanced capabilities enable us to explore the universe more clearly and in greater detail, contributing significantly to astronomical research and our understanding of the cosmos.
