- Outcome
- EUVE operated for more than eight years and completed the first sensitive all-sky extreme-ultraviolet survey. Its catalog contained 801 sources, it detected extragalactic objects in this wavelength range, and its guest-observer program produced a long-lived public archive of imaging and spectroscopy data.
