Astronomers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), using the 2-meter robotic Two-meter Twin Telescope (TTT) at the Teide Observatory, have obtained the deepest optical images ever taken of Malin 2, one of the largest and faintest spiral galaxies in the Universe. These ultra-deep observations have revealed previously unseen structures, including several diffuse stellar emissions and a striking, elongated spiral-like feature, hinting at past interactions with other galaxies. The team has also identified a potential ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxy (UDG) about 400,000 light-years from

The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission released its first batch of survey data, including a preview of its deep fields. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in combination with citizen science campaigns, the Euclid Consortium scientific results include the discovery of strong gravitational lensing systems, the exploration of galaxy clusters and the cosmic web, the characterisation of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasars, studies on galaxy evolution and morphology, and the identification of numerous dwarf galaxies and transients. Spain has an important role in the Euclid

La Fundación CajaCanarias organiza la octava edición de su Foro Enciende el Cosmos, que este año volverá a contar con la participación de destacados científicos e investigadores de reconocido nivel nacional e internacional. Esta iniciativa de carácter divulgativo pretende expandir, desde la exploración científica, la comprensión del Universo en su conjunto, relacionando el pasado con el presente y con una clara búsqueda de respuestas de cara al futuro. El programa se divide en tres sesiones, a celebrar los días 13 de febrero, 20 de marzo y 10 de abril, en el Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias de
