There's more to the night sky than meets the naked eye. Some of the most scientifically fascinating objects and processes aren't visible at all, prompting an interest in submillimeter astronomy, in which imaging is performed at wavelengths of 200 µm to 1 mm. This is the spectral domain of cold objects such as early galaxies, stars and planets, and is the purview of a new camera project dubbed Submillimeter Common User Bolometer Array 2. With the successes of the original array, which is used at the 15-m-diameter James Clerk Maxwell Telescope atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii and...Read full article
