Wide Field Camera

The Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) is a powerful instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. It captures detailed images of distant galaxies, nebulae, and other astronomical phenomena across various wavelengths of light, including ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared. This versatility allows scientists to study the universe in greater detail and helps uncover the mysteries of cosmic formation and evolution. WFC3 enhances Hubble's ability to observe objects that are billions of light-years away, providing invaluable data that contributes to our understanding of the universe.
