摘要

A giant camera is on its way from the UK to the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) on a mountain in Hawaii, where it will help seek out origins of galaxies, stars and planets. The Royal Observatory Edinburgh led the seven-year project to develop SCUBA-2 (sub-millimetre common-user bolometer array) alongside Edinburgh and Cardiff universities, and US and Canadian research partners.
