Astronomical Imaging
Astronomical imaging is the process of capturing images of celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies, using specialized equipment. This technique often involves telescopes equipped with cameras that can detect various wavelengths of light, including visible, infrared, and ultraviolet. The images produced help astronomers study the universe and understand the properties of different celestial bodies.
The images obtained through astronomical imaging can be enhanced using software to reveal details that are not visible to the naked eye. Techniques like long exposure and stacking multiple images improve clarity and reduce noise. This field plays a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of the cosmos and discovering new phenomena.
