    • Description

      This collage shows some of the scientific successes of ESA’s Faint Object Camera. The foremost scientific capability of the FOC was its ultra-sharp images. The superb FOC image quality was put to use in providing unique close-up views of nearly every class of astronomical object, some of which are seen here (full image caption is provided at the end of the article).
