James Clark Maxwell Telescope

The James Clark Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is a large, advanced telescope located in Hawaii, designed to observe the universe in submillimeter wavelengths. This allows scientists to study cold objects like gas clouds, dust, and early stars that are often invisible in visible light. By capturing these signals, the JCMT helps astronomers understand how stars and planets form, as well as the processes occurring in distant galaxies. Its powerful instruments and strategic location make it a vital tool for exploring the cold, hidden universe and deepening our understanding of cosmic origins.
