UH’s Information Technology Services, the grant allowed high-speed access to Gemini’s large, high-resolution data files and better community outreach via the Internet [12]. The June 1999 dedication of Gemini North ushered in a new era of optical astronomy for a new millennium. The first data release, in October 2000, provided a spectacular glimpse into the core of the Milky Way [13]. The dedication ceremony for Gemini South occurred in January 2002, for the first time allowing complete coverage of the entire sky from an 8-m-class observatory [14]. Since the completion of both telescopes, Gemini data have yielded a steady stream of scientific papers. References[1] Gemini public webpage at <http://www.gemini.edu/public/mauna.html>.
