Python3 module for reading, writing, and manipulating FITS files

 FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a data format most used in
 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.
