The JCMT is funded by a partnership between the United Kingdom, Canada and the Netherlands, and is of course named in honour of James Clerk Maxwell.
The telescope is near the summit of Mauna Kea at an altitude of 4092 meters and is used to study our Solar System, interstellar dust and gas, and distant galaxies
