- Description
- The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) file format is a digital file format used primarily in astronomy for storing, transmitting, and analyzing scientific images and data. Developed in the late 1970s, FITS was designed to provide a standard for the interchange of astronomical data, facilitating the sharing and analysis of data among astronomers and researchers worldwide.
- The WBMP (Wireless Bitmap Image) file format is a monochrome graphics format optimized for mobile computing devices with limited display capabilities. It was developed for use in the early days of mobile internet to display images on mobile phones and other wireless devices with minimal processing power and storage. WBMP files contain bitmap images that are typically small and use a black and white color palette, making them highly efficient for fast loading times and minimal data usage.
