Researchers Estimate Size of Largest Known Star Through Sharpest Optical Image Ever Captured
R136a1, a massive star with a mass around 150 or 200 times the Sun, has been observed in great detail, along with other stars in the cluster. The images from Gemini South's Zorro instrument have provided scientists with the clearest images of the star so far, which suggest it may not be as massive as previously thought.

Pegasus V, Dwarf Galaxy Near Andromeda, Believed to Be One of the First Galaxies
A team of astronomers at the University of Surrey recently found an extremely faint, dwarf galaxy which, they believe, is one of the first galaxies packed with a very old star. The galaxy, monikered as Pegasus V, is located in the vicinity of the Andromeda galaxy. The “fossil” galaxy that the team discovered has a high concentration of old star...

Gemini South’s GHOST Spectrograph Captures Optical Light Spectrum From Chemically Complex Star
The Gemini South telescope, one of the world’s most powerful optical-Infrared telescopes located in Chile, has captured its first light image of a chemically complex star. The telescope was equipped with the GHOST, or the Gemini High-Resolution Optical SpecTrograph, allowing it to capture detailed images of celestial bodies.
