The Gemini International Observatory consists of two 8.1 meter telescopes located in Hawai’i and Chile. These telescopes have been at the cutting edge of astronomy research since their inception. Gemini Observatory is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary. This podcast takes a look at the first 25 years of Gemini Observatory and looks ahead to the future.
