COSMOS, the Cosmic Evolution Survey, is an international effort by over 100 scientists around the world to measure the evolution of galaxies. The project focuses on an area of the sky nicknamed the COSMOS field and has used many of the major telescopes available including more recently, the James Webb Space Telescope. COSMOS-Web is a large collection of over 200 hours of observations combined into a single, publicly-available image.
