NSF NOIRLab and US Extremely Large Telescope Program Joint Open House

NSF NOIRLab and the US Extremely Large Telescope Program (US-ELTP) invite you to our joint Open House! Together, we represent most of the present and future US public access, optical and infrared major ground-based observatories. 

US-ELTP is a joint endeavor of NOIRLab and the organizations building the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Thirty Meter Telescope.

NOIRLab provides world-leading US public access: the International Gemini Observatory, the NSF Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), the NSF Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), the Community Science & Data Center (CSDC) and the operations of the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

We will have two presentations separated by a short interlude to enjoy complimentary light fare and drinks and have conversations with participants and presenters.

(1) In the first session, join us for the latest on the US-ELTP. 

(2) In the second session, you’ll get brief updates on NOIRLab activities and then join discussions on topics of interest to the US ground-based, nighttime optical and infrared astronomy community. 

Everyone is welcome!
