Convert FITS to EPS

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.

EPS, or Encapsulated PostScript, is a graphics file format used in desktop publishing and printing applications. Created by Adobe Systems in 1987, EPS files can contain both vector and bitmap graphics, making them versatile for various design tasks. They are commonly used for high-resolution printing of illustrations, logos, and complex graphics. EPS files are supported by most graphic design software and ensure consistent output quality across different devices and platforms. Their encapsulated nature allows them to be included within other PostScript documents, preserving the graphic's integrity and detail.
