astronomy. PyFITS is a Python module for reading, writing, and manipulating
FITS files. The module uses Python's object-oriented features to provide quick,
easy, and efficient access to FITS files. The use of Python's array syntax
enables immediate access to any FITS extension, header cards, or data items.
