NSF’s NOIRLab (formally named the National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory) is the national center for nighttime astronomy. For the first time, all of the nighttime optical/infrared observatories funded by NSF are unified into a single organization. The integration of the Mid-scale Observatories (MSO - Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, CTIO, Kitt Peak National Observatory, KPNO) the Community Science & Data Center (CSDC), the Gemini Observatory, and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory creates a powerful capability for discovery, technology development, STEM workforce growth, and education. NOIRLab empowers astronomers to tackle the most pressing questions in astrophysics today and opens up new discovery space for the future.
