Convert FITS to MNG

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.

The MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) file extension is a specialized format for animated images, originating from the creators of the PNG format. Developed in 1999, MNG supports features like image sequences, transparency, and JPEG data embedding, making it useful for complex animations and graphics interchange. Primarily utilized in web applications and multimedia presentations, it offers efficient compression and high-quality visual representation, catering to the needs of graphics-intensive environments.
