An international research team, led from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) together with a group of Italian universities, has confirmed a new method for finding protoclusters of galaxies, the largest structures in the early universe. These progenitors of present-day clusters of galaxies played an essential role in the evolution of the universe, but are not easy to find. This study shows that a specific type of galaxies, those which emit radiation at submillimetre wavelengths, are very good indicators of the presence of distant protoclusters

Red dwarfs are the most common stars in the galaxy. In recent years they have become key targets in the search for exoplanets. These stars are usually accompanied by rocky planets and due to their low brightness, their habitable zone is close to the star, making it easier to find planets that are within it. GJ 1002 is a red dwarf just one-eighth the mass of the Sun, located only 15.8 light-years away. Using radial velocity measurements from the ESPRESSO and CARMENES spectrographs, we have discovered the presence of two Earth-like and potentially habitable planets. The planets, GJ 1002 b and

Tras cuatro años de actividades, el proyecto Interreg EELabs llega a su fin y, como broche final, la noche del 14 de diciembre, a partir de las 22:30 UT (hora local en Canarias), retransmitirá la lluvia de meteoros de las Gemínidas a través del canal sky-live.tv desde el Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) y El Anillo (Extremadura). Las llamadas “estrellas fugaces” son en realidad pequeñas partículas de polvo de distintos tamaños (entre fracciones de milímetros hasta centímetros de diámetro) que van dejando los cometas -o asteroides- a lo largo de sus órbitas alrededor del Sol. La nube de
