A drawing of the "Subaru telescope" now under construction on top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, that NAO is giving all of its effort, is presented. The Subaru telescope is one of the many 8-m class telescopes now being constructed around the world. This is a view of the top of Mauna Kea at 4,200 m above sea level, and this is the dome for our Subaru telescope. Right next to it, there are two 10-m class Keck telescopes, which use a totally different method. The mirror of Keck telescopes is not one mirror but is made up of multiple small, mosaic mirrors that are adjusted for focus. This is one of two Gemini twin telescopes being developed jointly by the US, UK, and Canada; the other is located far away in Chile in the southern hemisphere. By the end of this century, there should be over 10 8-m class telescopes in the world. No doubt they will be competing to display their best performance capabilities, though of course they will also be used cooperatively for space observation activities.
