Typically objects or regions in space we want to look at are too large for the telescope to capture in a single image or frame, so the telescope has to take many frames which are later combine using software into a single image or what is commonly called a mosaic.

Literature searching
How can I find out what scientists already know about a particular astronomy topic or object? Literature searching is an essential part of doing scientific research! Click this link to find out how.
What is a mosaic and why should I care?
need to chase sublinks and file them
Typically objects or regions in space we want to look at are too large for the telescope to capture in a single image or frame, so the telescope has to take many frames which are later combine using software into a single image or what is commonly called a mosaic. Click "mosaic" above for more details.
Telescopes
need better title, sorting

need to chase sublinks and file them
What other kinds of archival data are part of NITARP? A general introduction to all of the archives housed at IPAC that are part of NITARP.
