What Does HESS Stand For?
HESS stands for High Energy Stereoscopic System
HESS, or High Energy Stereoscopic System, is an array of ground-based telescopes designed for the detection and analysis of high-energy gamma rays in the cosmic spectrum. Utilizing stereoscopic techniques, HESS improves the spatial resolution and sensitivity of astronomical observations, enabling researchers to study various astrophysical phenomena such as supernovae, active galactic nuclei, and cosmic rays. The system plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the universe's most energetic processes.
