Description:
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey observed roughly 14 million stars in 69 galaxies. The survey explored a region called the "Local Volume," and the galaxy distances ranged from 6.5 million light-years to 13 million light-years from Earth. The Local Volume resides beyond the Local Group of galaxies, an even nearer collection of a few dozen galaxies within about 3 million light-years of our Milky Way Galaxy. The observations were made in November 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveysi (ACS).

Description:
WFPC2 and ACS images used to create the Heritage project color composite press releases. The data has been expertly prepared, significantly beyond the standard pipeline processing. This usually involves careful image registration, combination, and cleaning via drizzling, making it ready for further scientific analysis and educational use. These data will typically be made available at the time of the associated press release.
Hubble Space Telescope multi-color ACS mosaic of M82

Description:
In March 2006, the Hubble Heritage Team obtained a large 4-color (B, V, I, and H-alpha) mosaic image of the M82 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2009 (HUDF09) program observations were obtained as HST program 11563 (PI: Garth Illingworth) from August 2009 to February 2011 (Cycle 17). The program uses WFC3/IR as the prime instrument for 192 orbits to image the deep ACS fields that were obtained in the original HUDF (PI: Steven Beckwith) program and in the HUDF05 (PI: Massimo Stiavelli) program.
The data are organized into sets of images by HUDF09 pointing and by passband (WFC3/IR F105W, F125W & F160W). Each image is approximately 3k x 3k pixels in size and a scale of 0.06 arcsec/pixel. All three pointings reside in the GOODS/Chandra South field and each pointing includes a drizzled science image and a weight image.
The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) performed spectrophotometry at high (0.1-0.3 Å) and low (6-7 Å) resolution between 1150 Å and 3200 Å. The data cover a dynamic range of approximately 17 astronomical magnitudes: -2 to 10 for high dispersion; -2 and 14.9 for low dispersion. Over 104,000 ultraviolet spectra were obtained with IUE between January 26, 1978, and September 30, 1996.
Launched in 2009, the Kepler Mission is surveying a region of our galaxy to determine what fraction of stars
in our galaxy have planets and measure the size distribution of those exoplanets.
Although Kepler completed its primary mission to determine the fraction of stars that have planets in 2013,
it is continuing the search, using a more limited survey mode, under the new name K2.
This service is the main Kepler data search.
This interface joins the Kepler Target Catalog (KTC) with other tables to allow users to access the Kepler data archive. Observed Kepler targets are included with their associated data set names. Since most of the Kepler light curve data is still proprietary, public data can be found by searching for release dates earlier than todays date.
The KIC, or Kepler Input Catalog, is the primary source of information about objects observed as part of the ground-based Kepler Spectral Classification Program (SCP) in preparation for the selection of Kepler PI and GO targets. The KIC lists objects down to 21st magnitude, but it is not complete to this limit. Light from only about 1/3 of these 14 million objects falls on the Kepler CCD detector. A small number of the KIC objects are calibration objects distributed across the sky.

The K2 Data Search Service provides the main catalog for all K2 data.

The K2 Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog is the primary source of information about
objects observed as potential targets for the K2 mission, as the Kepler Input Catalog was used for the original Kepler mission.
