Crepuscular rays are sunbeams that stream through gaps in clouds or mountains. Here, they adorn the @Geminiobs South telescope in Chile. Like its northern counterpart, Gemini South excels in a wide variety of optical and infrared capabilities. 📷: NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek

Gaze into Barnard 86 and tell us what you see 👀 The dark nebula Barnard 86 is a dense cloud of gas and dust that blocks the Milky Way’s rich star field behind it. Some people say it looks like a gecko. What do you see? 📷: International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA
