For the first time, scientists have measured magnetic activity on planets outside our Solar System using data from MAROON-X on International @GeminiObs North, which are actively slowing down atmospheric winds on "hot Jupiters." Full story: noirlab.edu/public/news/no…
🔭 The June 2026 FT Call is open at the International @GeminiObs 🗓️ Deadline: June 30, 12PM HST.🛠️ Note: Ensure you use the updated PIT (v2026B.2.1.1) and follow DARP guidelines. Details & instrument availability: gemini.edu/news/fast-turn…
This is just part of what’s on this mountain ✨🔭 For 61 years, NSF @cerrotololo in Chile has been observing the night sky. This panoramic view captures several of its telescopes under a sky split by the Milky Way. Credit: CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek
Baby stars ✨🍼 NGC 7129 is a star-forming region and reflection nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. The stars in this nebula are only about a million years old, which is extremely young on astronomical timescales. 📸 WIYN/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/T. A. Rector & H. Schweiker
Citizen science meets next-gen astronomy! 🔭 Check out the NSF-DOE @VRubinObs organization page on @the_zooniverse to participate in cutting-edge space research and help analyze massive data streams 🇨🇱✨ Get started here: zooniverse.org/organizations/…
Check out where NSF's @NOIRLabAstro mid-scale facilities have been taking data so far this semester
Astro Data Lab goes multilingual 🌎 NSF's @NOIRLabAstro now offers 60+ Jupyter training notebooks in Spanish—expanding access to big-data astronomy for a growing global community. Open-source, community-driven, and ready to explore the Universe. 🔭 noirlab.edu/science/news/a…
Data here: datalab.noirlab.edu/data/ks4
New southern sky dataset relased via NSF's @noirlabastro Astro Data Lab from KS4 (a KMTNet survey) delivers deep, uniform imaging + 200M+ sources-ideal for time-domain astronomy and chasing transients like supernovae & GW counterparts. Built from 600+ nights since 2019. 🌌

NSF's @NOIRLabAstro conference is to be on RR Lyrae & Cepheid Stars 2026: The Rubin Era 🔭 📍 La Serena, Chile 📅 Dec7-11, 2026 Exploring how the NSF-DOE @VRubinObs will transform variable star science, Galactic structure, and precision cosmology. Join the next wave of discovery
📢 International @Geminiobs Fast Turnaround: May 2026 The monthly Call for Proposals is now open! 🔭 Submit your projects for Gemini North and South by 31 May 2026 (noon HST). Observations for this cycle will run from July to September. 🌌 Apply here: noirlab.edu/science/news/a…
Dragon has leveled up! 🐉✨NSF's @NOIRLabAstro released DRAGONS 4.2, adding Flamingos-2 support, flux calibration, and better tutorials for Gemini data reduction. 🔭 Automating the stars, one script at a time. 🌌Details: noirlab.edu/science/news/a…
🛠️❄️ Every couple of years, Flamingos-2 comes down for a little maintenance break. This instrument at the Gemini South telescope is spending a few weeks in the lab for the replacement of its cryocoolers and checks on components. 📷 @GeminiObs/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/S. Olivares
⚠️ Update for the International @GeminiObs community: Gemini North will remain offline until at least Wednesday, May 27, due to a primary mirror control system fault. Remediation efforts are ongoing, and the team will reassess the situation next week. 🔭🛠️ Full details👇
International @geminiobs data are helping uncover the hidden lives of massive stars 👻✨Using GHOST observations in the Large Magellanic Cloud, astronomers found that true luminous blue variable (LBV) phases may last only ~1,000 years — far shorter than previously thought 🔭 👇
NSF's @NOIRLabAstro new publication The Scope brings the Universe to life with stunning visuals, deep-space discoveries, and the people building humanity’s next era of exploration. Science communication at cosmic scale 🔭✨ noirlab.edu/public/product…
The International @GeminiObs GMOS longslit reduced data products are now available🔭📦 Fully processed spectra are on the GOA Archive after they are taken, accelerating science and reducing time spent on data reduction. More science, less pipeline wrangling ✨
