Gemini Observatory's YouTube Video Channel
The Gemini Observatory consists of twin 8.1-meter diameter optical/infrared telescopes located on two of the best observing sites on the planet. From their locations on mountains in Hawai'i and Chile, Gemini Observatory's telescopes can collectively access the entire sky.
Gemini is operated by a partnership of six countries including the United States, Canada, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Korea. Any astronomer in these countries can apply for time on Gemini, which is allocated in proportion to each partner's financial stake.
