Description
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is the next flagship of NASA. The telescope will be a successor to HST with a wavelength coverage from the UV to the near-IR. Its ultrastable ~6-7 meter aperture with high contrast imaging capabilities will allow direct characterization of Earth sized planets within the habitable zone of solar type stars. However, the high contrast imaging instrument is only one of the proposed instruments. The additional instrument suite will make HWO a multi-purpose UV-nearIR telescope for general astrophysics.
