With the start of March the observatory known as JAC is no more. The Joint Astronomy Center ran two telescopes, the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Both telescopes have been transferred to new management and will continue to pursue science.
You can get more details on Tom Kerr’s blog A Pacific View.
I would also suggest you take a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful time-lapse to celebrate the achievements of the JAC…
