Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) EAC 2 Design Animations
Animation of one concept for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. 4k resolution.
The Habitable Worlds Observatory is early in its development. Many designs are under consideration. These artist's concept animations show the option known as EAC 2.
HWO is a large infrared/optical/ultraviolet space telescope recommended by the National Academies' Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s.
HWO will be the first space telescope designed specifically to search for signs of life and determine how common life is beyond Earth.
This future space observatory will study the universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution, giving us new insights into the solar system, stars, galaxies, black holes, dark matter, and the evolution of cosmic structure.
