GLORIA retransmitirá, desde Kenia, el eclipse total de SolGLORIA will carry out a direct transmission of the Total Solar Eclipse from Kenya

Advertised on

IAC researcher Miquel Serra-Ricart will coordinate the expedition, which will observe and webcast live the total eclipse of the Sun from the north of Kenya next Sunday, 3 November. The partial eclipse can be observed from the south of Europe, the best site being the Canary Islands, with
a 31% occultation of the Sun's disc.

Even though it is one of the most spectacular celestial phenomena, it isn't easy to see a total eclipse of the Sun since it occurs only over a narrow of the planet's surface. Thanks to the GLORIA project, the phenomenon can be observed from anywhere with an Internet connection.

    LST-1 telescope on La Palma detects the most distant quasar at very high energies

    The first Large-Sized Telescope (LST) prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Garafía, La Palma), has made its first scientific discovery by detecting the source OP 313 above 100 gigaelectronvolts (GeV), a level of energy a billion times higher than the visible light that humans can perceive. It is the most distant quasar ever observed by gamma-ray instruments from the ground. On 15 December, the Large-Sized Telescope (LST) Collaboration announced through an Astronomer’s Telegram (ATel) the detection of the source OP

    Massive pulsating star provides clues to calibrate stellar evolution models

    An international collaboration, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), determines with an unprecedented level of precision the mass, age and rotation profile of the core of a massive pulsating star. Known as HD 192575, it has been observed by the NASA space telescope TESS continuously for more than a year. The results shed new light on how such stars are internally structured and how they evolve until their death, when they explode as supernovae and form neutron stars and black holes. The scientific team has also used observations made with the Mercator
