The Gemini Observatory consists of twin 8 meter opticalinfrared telescopes located on two of the best sites on our planet for observing the universe. Together these telescopes can access the entire sky.The Gemini South telescope is located at almost 9,000 elevation on a mountain in the Chilean Andes called Cerro Pachon. Cerro Pachon shares resources with the adjacent SOAR Telescope and the nearby telescopes of the Cerro Tololo InterAmerican Observatory. The Frederick C. Gillett Gemini North Telescope is located on Hawaiis Mauna Kea as part of the international community of observatories that have been built to take advantage of the superb atmospheric conditions on this long dormant volcano that rises almost 14,000 into the dry, stable air of the Pacific.
