space photography

Space photography involves capturing images of celestial objects and phenomena using specialized cameras on spacecraft, satellites, or telescopes. These cameras are equipped with sensitive sensors and lenses optimized to detect visible and non-visible light, such as infrared and ultraviolet, allowing detailed observation of planets, stars, galaxies, and cosmic events. The images often require calibration and processing to correct for distortions and enhance details. Space photography helps scientists study the universe’s structure, composition, and dynamics, expanding our understanding of the cosmos while providing stunning visuals for research and public awareness.
