Subject: Australian High School Student's Gemini Image Revealed

The winning image in the Gemini School Astronomy Contest
was unveiled on 23 September. The picture of the "Glowing
Eye Nebula" was suggested by year-10 student Daniel Tran
of PAL College in Cabramatta, NSW. Daniel's winning entry
resulted in the image being captured by Gemini South,
and entitled his class to a "Live From Gemini" video link
to the Gemini control room in Hawaii.
