A team of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), collaborating with other international institutions, has managed to find new galaxies in the Spiderweb protocluster. This was possible thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, which is a project of the space agencies of the United States (NASA), Europe (ESA) and Canada (CSA). Exploring the populations of galaxies, and discovering their physical properties in large scale structures helps astronomers to understand galaxy formation and how their assembly is determined by their environment.

The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), located on La Palma, has reached another important milestone with the installation of the camera of the LST-4, one of the four Large-Sized Telescopes (LST), which will be part of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), currently under construction. The installation of the camera represents the completion of the telescope assembly and marks its transition to the commissioning phase. After a thorough performance evaluation at the IACTEC building, the IAC's technological and business

El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), a través de su departamento IACTEC-Espacio, celebra hoy la System Requirements Review (SRR) de la misión IACSAT-1, un hito clave que marca la finalización de la fase B1 del proyecto y consolida todos los requisitos técnicos, científicos y programáticos necesarios para avanzar hacia el diseño preliminar del satélite. IACSAT-1 es la primera misión liderada íntegramente por el IAC dedicada a la observación astronómica desde el espacio. Se trata de un proyecto desarrollado por IACTEC-Espacio, con un equipo científico dirigido por el Prof. Rafael
