What Does STIS Stand For?
STIS stands for Space Telescope Imaging Spectrometer
The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrometer (STIS) is a scientific instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope that captures high-resolution images and spectral data of celestial objects. Designed to study the composition, temperature, density, and motion of astronomical phenomena, STIS operates across a wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Its advanced capabilities enhance our understanding of the universe, enabling detailed observations of stars, galaxies, and other cosmic structures.
