- Abstract
he MACE telescope has recently been commissioned at Hanle, Ladakh, India. It had its first light in April 2021 with a successful detection of very high energy gamma-ray photons from the standard candle Crab Nebula. Equipped with a large light collector of 21 m diameter and situated at an altitude of ~4.3 km amsl, the MACE telescope is expected to explore the mysteries of the non-thermal Universe in the energy range above 20 GeV with very high sensitivity. It can also play an important role in carrying out multi-messenger astronomy in India.
