: Telescopes use monochromatic sensors with specific filters (Red, Green, Blue, or specialized scientific filters) to capture individual frames.
: At its simplest, an image is a 2D array where each pixel has a specific location and an intensity value representing brightness.
Space telescopes act as scientific instruments rather than traditional cameras, capturing data in varied formats designed for research.
: Scientific data often undergoes six months to a year of quality checking before being permanently archived in the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS) . Major Space Observatories & Their Roles
: To ensure accuracy, technicians take additional frames like Dark Frames (to reduce thermal noise) and Flat Frames (to remove dust spots and gradients).
