The Wide-Field Camera

The Wide-Field Camera (WFC) is an instrument used on telescopes, like the Hubble Space Telescope, to capture large, detailed images of space. Its design allows it to observe broad areas of the sky at once, making it ideal for studying galaxies, nebulae, and other cosmic structures. By capturing wide views with high resolution, the WFC helps scientists understand the universe’s composition, formation, and evolution. Its advanced detectors and optics enable detailed observations across different wavelengths, providing valuable data to expand our knowledge of the cosmos.
