La Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria y el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias han desarrollado un método para calibrar imágenes nocturnas de satélites a partir de medidas de redes de fotómetros nocturnos. El trabajo, financiado por el proyecto Interreg EELabs, está orientado a evaluar de forma más precisa la contaminación lumínica y su impacto en los ecosistemas naturales de la Macaronesia. Los datos están a disposición de la comunidad científica a través del portal del proyecto. Desde su inicio en 2020, el proyecto Interreg EELabs ha desplegado más de un centenar de sensores en lasAdvertised on

The robotic Transient Survey Telescope (TST) installed in the Teide Observatory of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has successfully started its scientific observations. It is a 1 metre telescope which permits the detection of rapidly varying objects, and is set up to map the sky. The TST has been built and run via a public-private collaboration with Canary funding. The Transient Survey Telescope (TST) is a telescope with a 1 metre primary mirror, built to take long-term observations called surveys, for the detection of faint, rapidly varying objects over a wide area of the skyAdvertised on
