What Does FUSE Stand For?

FUSE stands for Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer

FUSE, or Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, was a space-based observatory designed to study astronomical phenomena in the far ultraviolet wavelength range. Launched in 1999, FUSE provided critical insights into the structure and evolution of stars, galaxies, and interstellar matter by analyzing the chemical compositions and physical conditions of objects in the universe. Its groundbreaking observations contributed to our understanding of cosmic processes and the behavior of hot gas in the universe.
