US programs observed at @GeminiObs N/S on 04/28/24 (bit.ly/2KhLox3):
Attention @GeminiObs GMOS PIs with spectroscopic data. The observatory has just released a tutorial on flexure-induced wavelength shift correction using sky lines. More information at: gemini.edu/news/instrumen… @NOIRLabScience
#AsteroidInstitute together with @googlecloud, we've identified 27,500 new asteroids using @NOIRLabAstro data, propelling us into a new era of asteroid discovery thanks to our donors! bit.ly/3Wni8rC #AsteroidDiscovery #spaceexploration #TechInnovation #GoogleCloud
Have you ever looked at a remarkably detailed image of a galaxy or nebula and wondered how the light from that object got from interstellar space to your screen? 💻The answer is via the power of a light-capturing chip called CCD. Read our latest blog: ow.ly/Cm1n50RlIkx
NEWS! 📰Using the @GeminiObs South🔭 a team of astronomers led by 🇦🇷 Carlos Saffe has confirmed for the first time that differences in binary stars’ composition can originate from chemical variations in the cloud of stellar material from which they formed. noirlab.edu/public/news/no…
We are less than a month away from the Rare Gems in Big Data conference! The full schedule is now available — check it out: noirlab.edu/science/events….
Are you familiar with the Planet Hunters project? More than 15,000 armchair astronomers helped discover 2 candidate Jupiter-sized exoplanets. Follow-up observations on the @GeminiObs South🔭revealed that these are not your average exoplanets ➡️@QUBelfast: qub.ac.uk/News/Allnews/2…
It is always hard to say goodbye, but we wish you all the best IGRINS! ✨ This week the visiting instrument IGRINS (Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer) that began observing with the Gemini South telescope in 2018 is leaving Chile. 📷NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/B. Medel and S. Olivares

#GlobalAstronomyMonth is the perfect time to highlight @VRubinObs! Currently under construction on Cerro Pachón in 🇨🇱, Rubin Observatory is an 8-meter-class telescope coupled to a 3200 megapixel camera –the world’s largest digital camera ever fabricated for optical astronomy!🧵⬇️
Have you met the @GeminiObs twins? Operated by @NSF @NOIRLabAstro, Gemini South sits at 2715m on Cerro Pachón in Chile 🇨🇱 and Gemini North sits at 4200m near the summit of Maunakea, mid-Pacific🏔️🌊. Their dual-hemisphere locations allow them to survey the entire sky!🌌

Ever noticed how stars seem to move across the sky? Check out this long-exposure 📷 from @KittPeakNatObs! Far from the celestial pole, the star trails form long circles, but near the North Pole, stars like Polaris barely move. Can you spot the North Star?📷:KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA
Great post, @SpaceTelescope! Thanks for sharing!
From their peaks in Hawaii and Chile, @GeminiObs’s twin telescopes can access the entire sky. The first two images are Gemini North in Hawaii and Gemini South in Chile. The third shows the Carina Nebula from Gemini South. Take a closer look: gemini.edu #AURAPartners
In this #GlobalAstronomyMonth, it’s time to highlight the SOAR telescope! The 4.1-meter Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope located in Cerro Pachón, Chile, was initiated by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1987. 🧵⬇️
It is always hard to say goodbye, but we wish you all the best IGRINS! ✨ This week the visiting instrument IGRINS (Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer) that began observing with the Gemini South telescope in 2018 is leaving Chile. 📷NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/B. Medel and S. Olivares
another beautiful day for our last time at the summit on this trip! @NOIRLabAstro
The 1st results from @desisurvey are in! The data generally agrees with the major theoretical model of the universe. But there are hints that dark energy (which is making the universe expand ever faster) may change over time, as covered @arstechnica: arstechnica.com/science/2024/0…
Here's one for Marty McFly! @ENERGY's Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is helping researchers create the largest 3D map of the universe by turning back the clock 11 billion years. bit.ly/44ciN0D 📷: DESI Collaboration/KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek/R. Proctor
