This project aims to deliver the first direct images of exoplanets in the habitable zones around nearby stars. This will be enabled by the development of a new instrument – GLINT (Guided-Light Interferometric Nulling Technology) – that will be deployed on the Subaru 8m telescope. The project outcomes should answer outstanding questions on the process of planetary formation and exoplanet habitability.

该项目旨在提供附近恒星周围宜居带中系外行星的第一张直接图像，这将通过开发一种新仪器——GLINT（导光干涉归零技术）来实现，该仪器将部署在斯巴鲁上。 8m望远镜该项目的成果应该回答有关行星形成过程和系外行星宜居性的突出问题。
