Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)

The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is a high-tech instrument installed on the Hubble Space Telescope, designed to capture detailed images of the universe. It uses sophisticated cameras and filters to observe celestial objects like galaxies, stars, and nebulae across various wavelengths of light. ACS enables astronomers to study the universe’s structure, formation, and evolution with great precision, greatly enhancing our understanding of cosmic phenomena. Its advanced imaging capabilities allow for both wide-field views and detailed observations, making it a vital tool for exploring the cosmos beyond the capabilities of typical cameras.
