WFIRST's Wide Field Instrument

The W 1st telescope is designed to capture images with the same detail as the Hubble but over a much larger area. It uses a 2.4-meter aperture and a series of mirrors to focus light, which is then filtered and detected to create high-resolution images. The telescope's advanced optics and numerous detectors allow it to produce 300 million pixel images, making it a powerful tool for space observation.
