Rahul Khanna commented on TIKA-874:
-----------------------------------
I've created a parser for FITS files that extracts metadata using the
nom.tam.fits library available at
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/fits/java/v1.0/ . The code is used in
The Australian National University's Data Commons project available at
https://github.com/anu-doi/anudc . Code for the parser can be viewed at
https://github.com/anu-doi/anudc/blob/master/DcShared/src/main/java/au/edu/anu/dcbag/metadata/FitsParser.java

> Tika does not have a defined signature for application/fits files. I have
> created a patch (based on file(1) magic) to address identification of such
> files, including a simple unit test.
> This patch only handles identification, not parsing of FITS files.
