Gemini North telescope dome on the summit of Mauna Kea,Hawaii,USA,at sunset. This 8-metre optical/infrared telescope was completed in 1999. Here the side vents are open to regulate the telescope's temperature and ensure a smooth flow of air above the primary mirror. Gemini North's twin telescope,Gemini South is located in Cerro Pachon,Chile. Together,the two telescopes give coverage of virtually the entire night sky | |
