Simulated Image Shows the Power of NASA’s WFIRST

The W 1st Telescope, also known as the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, is set to revolutionize space observation with its ability to capture images with the same resolution as Hubble but over an area 100 times larger. It will use infrared light to see through dust, revealing hidden stars and galaxies. Scientists use special techniques to simulate images, starting with Hubble's data, to predict what W 1st will see. The telescope will also search for planets and study dark matter and energy, offering an unprecedented view of the universe.
