| | LNA - GEMINI |
 | | The Gemini Project is an international partnership to build two 8-meter telescopes, one on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and one on Cerro Pachon, Chile. |
 | | Detailed studies require the Gemini combination of wavelength coverage, angular resolution and sensitivity to probe matter distributions and distinguish the signatures of microlensing and variable substructures within lensed sources. |
 | | Excellent images and superb IR performance will allow Gemini to reach the farthest known galaxies, explore their structures and stellar content, and provide the key to understanding the relation between stellar populations, chemical enrichment history, and the dynamical history of present day galaxies. |
