FUSE
NASA’s FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) mission observed the sky in far-ultraviolet light — wavelengths between about 90 to 120 nanometers — with greater sensitivity and resolving power than previous instruments. Over eight years of operations, FUSE acquired more than 6,000 observations of nearly 3,000 separate astronomical targets, including massive stars, supernova remnants, and galaxies.
