    Summary description: Retrieving FITS file header information in LuaTeX

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This new package offers a simple way for (mainly) astronomy-related
    papers to read FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file headers
    using LuaTeX.
    Header keyword values can be typeset instantly in the document or
    stored in macros for later use.
