Gemini South telescope's GHOST spectrograph captures first light observations of a bright, chemically rich star

Gemini South, one of the world's most productive and powerful optical-infrared telescopes, has received a major capability boost with the successful installation of a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST constructed by an international consortium. This cutting-edge scientific instrument will expand our understanding of the earliest stars, the chemical fingerprints of distant planetary systems, and the formation and evolution of galaxies. Gemini South in Chile is one half of the Internat...
