Gloria, which has copyleft licences permitting the free distribution of its contents and materials, belongs to the Citizens’ Science programme of the European Union. Any user will be able to operate the telescopes and develop research within the proposed programmes, or propose new experiments.

The Astrophysics Institute of the Canaries, (IAC) in collaboration with the Museum of Science and the Cosmos, belonging to Museums of  Tenerife, is going to stage a re-showing of the puppet play “Do Puppets Dream of the Universe?” which was first very successfully shown in 2012. This activity is part of the popularization programme that the IAC and the Museum are organizing as part of the Weeks of Science and Innovation in the Canaries, organized by the Canary Agency for Research Innovation and the Information Society (ACIISI) of the Government of the Canaries. This entertaining show- which

The mathematician José Miguel Bernardo, of the University of Valencia, will tomorrow, Tuesday, give a talk in the Museum of Science and the Cosmos about Bayesian methods of prediction

Next Tuesday this mathematician from Valencia will give a lecture in the Museum of Science and the Cosmos about how to make sensible electoral predictions

The MAGIC telescopes at the Observatory of the Roque de los Muchachos, in La Palma, have detected gamma-ray flares shorter than any previously observed, coming from a supermassive black hole. Scientists explain this phenomenon by a mechanism similar to that producing lightning in a thunderstorm. This result, with a significant Spanish participation, is published today in the journal Science., which shows that these objects emit energy into the intergalactic medium via a mechanism similar to that which produces lightning in storms.
