MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer)

MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) is an advanced telescope instrument that captures detailed images of the universe. Unlike traditional telescopes that take pictures, MUSE collects light from objects like stars and galaxies across a wide area and splits it into its component colors, creating a "spectral map." This allows astronomers to study the composition, movement, and age of celestial objects in great detail. Installed on the Very Large Telescope in Chile, MUSE helps scientists understand the universe's structure and history by providing both visual and spectral information simultaneously.
