Software

Scientists use special computer programs to explore space.

These programs help them control telescopes, take images, and plan observations.

Image
An image of a star cluster against a black background. Small dots of stars are mostly concentrated in the centre, many of them white in colour but some of them having a blue hue to them. Further out from the middle, a few more stars are scattered around, but they are fewer in number and seem more reddish compared to the others.
