Advertised on

El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos llevarán sus talleres científicos en la “Cosmoneta” del Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos mañana 15 de noviembre al IES Granadilla de Abona, en Tenerife, al igual que ocurrió ayer en el IES de San Matías.

El objetivo principal marcado por el IAC en esta Semana Europea de la Ciencia y la Tecnología 2006 es acercar la Ciencia y el Universo a todos los públicos. Por ello, el Instituto se desplazará al centro educativo, a partir de las 10:00horas, para difundir el conocimiento científico de una forma didáctica y lúdica a los alumnos de Bachillerato.

Las actividades de Semana de la Ciencia y la Tecnología están organizadas por el IAC y están coordinadas por la Oficina de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación del Gobierno de Canarias y, además,  esta visita al IES Granadilla cuenta con la colaboración del Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos del Organismo Autónomo de Museos y Centros del Cabildo de Tenerife.

    Regions where extremely young stars are forming have been found in very old galaxies
    An international study led by Almudena Prieto, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has found places where new stars are forming, as faint star clusters, around the centre of an evolved galaxy. This is the first time that young populations of stars have been picked out and dated in this type of galaxies dominated by very old stars, which can be called “rejuvenated old galaxies”. The research has combined observations from various telescopes, both ground based and space based, and has used innovative techniques of data analysis. The results are published in the

    Astronomers observe differences in sunrises and sunsets on a distant world
    Using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international scientific team, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates, has confirmed variations in morning and evening atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-39 b, about 700 light-years away from Earth. The research has revealed differences in temperature and atmospheric pressure, as well as indications of different cloudiness and winds that could reach thousands of miles per hour. The results are published in Nature. WASP-39 b, a giant planet with a diameter 1.3 times greater than Jupiter, but

    First observations of the Canary Islands satellite ALISIO-1 from space
    The first satellite developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias,, which was launched into space last December, has sent back its first images. The quality of the observations shows the perfect performance of its DRAGO-2 infrared camera. The pointing test of its laser optical communications module has also been successfully carried out, making it the first Spanish satellite to use this technology. Today, at a press conference, the first images obtained with the ALISIO-1 satellite (Advanced Land-Imaging Satellite for Infrared Observations), an Earth observation satellite whose
