As night falls over the 4.1-meter SOAR Telescope at Cerro Pachón, it’s go time! ⏰💫Located in Chile, SOAR is ready to capture the cosmos from optical to near-infrared wavelengths. But wait… in the background, Gemini Observatory South telescope isn’t far behind. With its GeMS adaptive optics system, Gemini starts its laser, sending beams into the sky to create a guide star and sharpen the view. 🔭🌟 SOAR: Nighttime is my time 😍 Gemini South: Time to observe! Both: Let’s go for it! 🌌 #telescope

Ever wonder how astronomers get such crisp, clear images of distant stars and galaxies? 🌌 Here’s how it works: the Gemini South Telescope in Chile, part of the International Gemini Observatory Observatory, shines a low-power laser into the sky to create a laser guide star. 🌠 This laser guide star serves as a reference for the telescope's adaptive optics system so that it can 'cancel out' the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the images of its actual targets 🔭💫 It’s like giving the telescop

The Milky Way shines bright. Gemini Observatory’s All-Sky camera in Hawaii captured this beautiful peek at our galaxy during the recent lunar eclipse. As the Sun, Earth and Moon aligned, placing the Moon in the shadow of Earth, the Sun’s brightness was briefly dimmed bringing the Milky Way popping into spectacular view. While the Milky Way can be seen fairly easily from Earth if you're away from light pollution with a clear sky, it doesn’t make this video any less glorious to watch. Video Credit

Have you ever wondered how the Gemini South telescope works? In this video you can see the telescope dome rotating and the laser guide star in action. Both of the Gemini Observatory telescopes located in Chile and Hawai‘i use laser guide stars to provide data for their adaptive optics systems which compensate for fluctuations in the upper atmosphere which can blur the images of distant stars and galaxies. The laser excites trace gas particles high in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Software then analy

To Celebrate 25 Years In Service, The Gemini Observatory Imaged The Butterfly Nebula

universetoday.com

A breathtaking new image from the Gemini South Telescope has scientists stunned! ✨🤩 The International Gemini Observatory, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, has captured an extraordinary view of NGC 6302 — better known as the Butterfly Nebula. Located between 2,500 and 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius, this spectacular bipolar planetary nebula spreads its cosmic “wings” across space, resembling a delicate but fiery butterfly. The Butterfly Nebula is the result of a dying star’s dram
