-Description: shared library for C interface to HEALPix
+Description: HEALPix representation spherical data - C development library
HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization
of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a
subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same
- surface area as every other pixel. This package provides the C language
+ surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky
+ astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background.
+ This package provides the static library and headers for the C language
implementation of HEALPix.
