Join Dr. Michael Hoenig as he discusses the Gemini Observatory atop Mauna Kea at 6 p.m. April 7 at the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy. Two Gemini Observatories, one located in Hawaii and one in Chile, work together to study the entire night sky. Dr. Hoenig will go into details of the Gemini Observatory’s mirrors that provide superior performance, not just at optical wavelengths but also infrared wavelengths. He will also discuss the observatory’s technologies, such as adaptive optics and laser guide stars, and give visitors a look into the future of the Gemini Observatory.
