James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT)

The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is a powerful astronomical instrument located in Hawaii, designed to observe the universe in submillimeter wavelengths—light between infrared and radio waves. It helps scientists study cold objects like dust clouds, star-forming regions, and distant galaxies, providing insights into the early universe and planetary formation. Equipped with advanced detectors, the JCMT captures faint signals from these cold, distant objects, enabling detailed imaging and analysis. This telescope plays a vital role in expanding our understanding of the cosmos and the processes that shape stars and galaxies.
