A new window to the universe: The Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) is now operational!
Rising at 5,640 meters above sea level in Chile’s Atacama Desert, this cutting-edge telescope marks a milestone in astronomy.
The University of Cologne and the University of Bonn are key partners in the international CCAT Observatory Consortium. Together with Cornell University, the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, and universities across Chile, a world-class observatory was created mapping the sky in the submillimeter range like never before.
✨Equipped with the high-resolution CHAI spectrometer and the flexible Prime-Cam camera, FYST will unlock new insights into star and galaxy formation, cosmic structures, and the early universe.
