The Subaru Telescope in Hawai‘i is set to enhance its capabilities with a groundbreaking new instrument, the Prime Focus Spectrograph, which will allow it to observe the cosmos with a “compound eye.
This advanced instrument will provide a much broader field of view, enabling the Subaru Telescope to observe approximately 2,400 objects simultaneously, facilitating spectroscopic analysis of thousands of space objects.
The spectrograph will collect light across the visible and near-infrared spectrum, significantly improving the telescope’s ability to study distant light sources and deepen our understanding of cosmic phenomena…
