Advertised on

El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) comienza mañana, día 14 de noviembre, su programa de actividades con motivo de la Semana Europea de la Ciencia y la Tecnología 2006 en el IES de San Matías, en Tenerife.

Con la finalidad de fomentar el interés por la Ciencia y la Tecnología a los alumnos de Educación Secundaria, el IAC y el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos acercarán sus talleres científicos en la “Cosmoneta” de este museo al IES de San Matías, a partir de las 10:00horas. Esta actividad estará dirigida a los alumnos de 3º y 4º de la ESO.

Más tarde, a partir de las 21:00 horas, el IAC instalará, en el mismo centro educativo, un planetario donde un monitor guiará a los alumnos durante las observaciones astronómicas que realicen. Estas observaciones se completarán con una charla divulgativa a cargo del astrofísico Ángel R. López.

Los actos de la Semana Europea de la Ciencia y la Tecnología 2006 organizada por el IAC en Tenerife y en La Palma, coordinada por la Oficina de la Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación del Gobierno de Canarias y financiada por el Plan Nacional de Fomento de la Cultura Científica y Tecnológica del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, continuarán hasta el día 22 de noviembre.

    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

    The densest “Neptune” ever observed

    An international team of researchers, with participation from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, has discovered an extremely dense Neptune-sized planet, which challenges the conventional theories about the formation and evolution of planets. It was first identified with NASA’s TESS satellite, and the present studies were made with the HARPS-N spectrograph on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Garafía, La Palma, Canary Islands). The results of the study have been published in the journal Nature. It is called TOI-1853b and is really

    Astronomers confirm a new “Trojan” asteroid that shares an orbit with Mars

    Using observations made with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) a study led from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) has confirmed that the asteroid 2023 FW14, discovered last year, is accompanying the red planet in its journey around the Sun, ahead of Mars and in the same orbit. With this new member, the group of Trojans which accompany Mars has increased in number to 17. But it shows differences in its orbit and chemical composition which may indicate that it is a captured asteroid, of a primitive type. The results are published in
