banner of Exploring the Universe with Subaru Telescope Data

Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC), mounted on the Subaru Telescope located at the summit of Maunakea, on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, has been in operation since 2013. It is an epoch-making giant digital camera with an extremely wide field of view.
The Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP), an extensive survey program with HSC, started in 2014 and the first HSC-SSP dataset was released to the public in February 2017. Using the “HSC Viewer,” why don’t you explore the Universe observed by the Subaru Telescope?
