"When you look up at the stars, you only see the light they are emitting in the visible part of the spectrum," said Professor Gary Davis, director of the
JCMT and a visiting professor at Cardiff University.
Antonio Chrysostomou, Associate Director of the
JCMT, said.
JCMT currently manage the practice through a variety of third party systems, Microsoft tools and manual procedures.

It starts off at the Mauna Kea peak in Hawaii, one of the best places in the world for observatories thanks to the altitude and clear air conditions and the home of UK participating telescopes like the United Kingdom Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT) and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (
JCMT).

Built by the U.K., Canada, and the Netherlands,
JCMT saw first light in 1987; UKIRT, in 1979.
In 2007 EHT astronomers led by Doeleman observed Sgr A* using a three-station VLBI array that combined the Arizona Radio Observatory's 10-meter Submillimeter Telescope (ARO/SMT), a 10-meter element of the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) in California, and the 15-meter James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (
JCMT) atop Mauna Kea.
That's because I was the first astronomer to observe with the world's first submillimeter telescope, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (
JCMT), which opened for business in 1987.
