- Description
- A PJPEG file is a bitmap image created in the Progressive JPEG format (PJPEG). It contains encoded bitmap data so that the downloaded image appears progressively from a blurry picture to the final sharp image. PJPEG files may also fill alternating horizontal lines until the full picture is revealed.
- 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.
