Meet our instruments: Aloha! My name is OSIRIS. Part spectrograph, part imager, I produce some of the sharpest images. I played a key role in proving a supermassive black hole lives at the center of the Milky Way—a discovery that won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics. #TechTuesday
Meet our instruments: Aloha! My name is LRIS. I capture spectra & images of the faintest & farthest objects in the universe. I played a key role in determining the universe is expanding at a faster rate—a discovery that won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. #TechTuesday
