New Gemini Images


The Gemini Observatory has published a new series of spectacular images. These images were taken with a circular fisheye lens that produces unique views of the telescope and the sky above Mauna Kea. The image to the left shows the sodium lasers of Gemini and Keck that are used to generate artificial stars for their adaptive optics systems.


Enjoy the rest of the images
