The Process of Creating Hubble Space Telescope Images.

The Hubble Space Telescope uses two primary camera systems, the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), to observe the universe across a broad range of light wavelengths. Hubble's cameras can see the universe from the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum through visible light wavelengths all the way up to ultraviolet light. The telescope's ability to see in a wide range of wavelengths means that it is useful to a broad spectrum of researchers working to observe a massive cornucopia of cosmic objects and events. Hubble images are processed to remove imperfections and effects that don't come from the objects being observed by Hubble.
