| Topics
The installation of Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) onto the Subaru Telescope took place on August 16-17, 2012. The availability of this extraordinary new instrument marks the beginning of a new era in observational astronomy and is a testament to the fruits of international collaboration. With its wide field of view and high-resolution imaging, HSC can conduct surveys that will provide fundamental data sets for cosmology-related research that investigates the origin and development of the Universe.
