Next Friday, May 23, at 17:30, the Museum of Science and the Cosmos of Tenerife will host the popular science lecture "The James Webb Telescope: Highlights and Life Beyond Earth," delivered by the renowned British astronomer Martin Ward, Emeritus Temple Chevallier Professor of Astronomy at the University of Durham (UK) and Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society . This event, organised as part of the European ExGal-Twin Project , will offer the public a unique opportunity to learn about the most significant advances made by the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest and most powerful

Un equipo científico internacional, en el que participa personal investigador del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), ha puesto en marcha un ambicioso programa para cartografiar los exoplanetas situados alrededor del “desierto neptuniano” ­ ­–una región en torno a estrellas donde son muy raros los planetas del tamaño de Neptuno– con el fin de comprender mejor los mecanismos de evolución y formación de los sistemas planetarios. Este proyecto científico ha dado sus primeros resultados con la observación del sistema planetario TOI-421. El análisis de este sistema revela una arquitectura

A global team of astronomers and machine learning researchers today announced the release of the " Multimodal Universe" - a groundbreaking 100 terabyte dataset that brings together hundreds of millions of astronomical observations in unprecedented detail and scale. This massive collection of space data aims to revolutionize how artificial intelligence can be applied to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos. " The Multimodal Universe makes accessing machine learning-ready astronomical datasets as easy as writing a single line of code," says Helen Qu, a postdoctoral researcher at the Flatiron
