A team of scientists, including astrophysicist Carlos Hernández Monteagudo from the University of La Laguna (ULL) and the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC), has compiled one of the most comprehensive catalogues of small bodies in the Solar System, based on photometric observations made from Earth. The study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, compiles data on 6,579 asteroids, comets and irregular satellites, mainly from the main belt located between Mars and Jupiter, opening up new possibilities for studying their composition and rotation.

From 2–6 March 2026, Ghent University will host a landmark event at the intersection of astrophysics and artificial intelligence. Jointly organized by the EDUCADO , MWGaiaDN , and alongside a third partnering TALES , all MSCA Doctoral Networks. The EDUCADO Training School on Astro–AI and Machine Learning will bring together leading experts and early-career researchers to tackle the data challenges of modern science. The five-day programme offers a blend of expert-led lectures and hands-on training sessions. The curriculum focuses on high-impact fields, including artificial intelligence

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and Wikimedia Spain are organising, on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a Wikipedia editing workshop and an edit-a-thon of biographies of female astronomers and astrophysicists, an initiative that seeks to highlight the talent of women in the field of astronomy and astrophysics and contribute to reducing existing content gaps in the free encyclopaedia. The proposal is divided into two complementary days, designed to facilitate participation by anyone, regardless of their level of prior knowledge about editing
