El Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, del Organismo Autónomo de Museos y Centros del Cabildo (OAMC) de Tenerife, ha organizado mañana viernes, 3 de junio, a las 19:30 h, la conferencia “El futuro ya no es lo que era”, a cargo de Héctor Castañeda, investigador y divulgador científico del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

En la conferencia se analizará el avance de la tecnología frente a las predicciones de los científicos y los escritores de ciencia ficción. Julio Verne, George Orwell, H.G. Wells... todos imaginaron sugerentes futuros cuyo parecido con la realidad actual puede ser pura coincidencia. Pero hoy día los defraudados no serían sólo estos autores de ciencia ficción: tanto científicos como ingenieros del pasado hallarían sus predicciones tan descaminadas que se verían obligados a comentar "vaya, el futuro ya no es lo que era...".

    The countdown for the launch of ALISIO-1 has begun

    The first Canary Earth Observation Satellite, belonging to the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has successfully passed all the pre-launch technical tests, and is on the way to the United States for launch from California before the end of the year. ALISIO-1 ( Advanced Land-Imaging Satellite for Infrared Observations) is the first Canary satellite which will orbit the Earth, in the framework of the ALISIO space programme, led by the IAC and coordinated by the IACTEC-Space group. In 2018, the team gained its first success after the launch of an atmospheric sounding balloon with

    The puzzle of the galaxy with no dark matter

    International research led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) has found the first evidence of a massive galaxy with no dark matter. The result is a challenge to the current standard model of cosmology. The study is published in the specialized journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. A team of scientists, led by the researcher at the IAC and the University of La Laguna (ULL) Sebastién Comerón, has found that the galaxy NGC 1277 does not contain dark matter.This is the first time that a massive galaxy (it has a mass several times that of the

    The James Webb observes the first galaxies in the universe and discovers and “impostor”

    An international study, carried out by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has participated, shows that the universe could produce extremely luminous galaxies at very early epochs, when it was only some 3% of its present age. This result implies that these galaxies formed stars before, and more quickly than predicted by current theoretical models. The study also reveals an unusual galaxy that “imitates” the emission from a very distant galaxy. The results are published in the journal Nature. During the first months of scientific
