This week’s image is of NGC 1514! Gemini’s GMOS-N captured the aftermath of a star’s death in stunning detail. The pale white gas and circular shape of the nebula earned it the nickname "Crystal Ball Nebula." 🔮 Check out the 🧵 for another paper! #Astronomy 📸 credit in thread

From @noirlabastro.bsky.social: The constellation Gemini shares its name with the International Gemini Observatory telescopes in Hawai‘i and Chile. These twin 8.1-meter observatories give astronomers access to the entire sky. #astronomy

Throwback post: This week’s image is of Jupiter! Since this image comes from Gemini’s NIRI, which has a field of view of 22x22”, a mosaic of multiple images was used to obtain this stunning portrait peering into Jupiter’s cloud-forming region. #Astronomy

This week’s image is of the PSR J2030+4415! Gemini’s GMOS-N captured the swiftly spinning pulsar in the upper-left corner, which is actively emitting a continuous stream of gamma radiation. Check out the 🧵 for another paper! #Astronomy 📸 credit in thread

The Crystal Ball Nebula is not predicting your future, but it is revealing the final stages of a star’s life. This view of NGC1514 was captured by Gemini North on Maunakea in Hawai’i. noirlab.edu/public/news/... #astronomy Credit: International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA
