Subaru Telescope 2.0

The present Universe has a rich structure which contains galaxies, stars, planets, and a variety of other components where life is nurtured. How did this rich structure begin and evolve? And how will it go on?

Subaru Telescope 2.0 presents greatly enhanced capabilities with the addition of new science instruments that will help the Subaru Telescope conduct large-scale surveys. Through Subaru Telescope 2.0, we challenge fundamental questions about the evolution of the Universe by pursuing four science goals:

• 1) To probe the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and determine the neutrino mass
• 2) To understand structure formation in the Universe and the physical process of galaxy formation and evolution
• 3) To contribute to multi-messenger astronomy
• 4) To identify Earth-like exoplanet candidates
