Funded Activity Summary

Australian Membership of the International Gemini Partnership. No science better captures public attention than astronomy. Through its membership of the international Gemini consortium that operates the Gemini telescopes, Australia has assured its astronomers of access to two of the finest large ground-based telescopes. Located in Hawaii and Chile, the telescopes enable Australian astronomers to pursue major questions such as how the universe evolved, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, how galaxies formed, and how stars and their planets formed. Australia has long been known for 'punching above its weight' in astronomy, and membership of Gemini is a vital step in assuring that this prominence in the field is maintained.
