Entre los días 23 y 27 de julio se celebra en Tenerife el III Curso sobre Astrofísica de la Universidad Internacional de Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) dirigido, por primera vez, a profesorado de educación infantil y primaria que, como en ediciones anteriores, cuenta con la participación del personal investigador del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) invita a la presentación de candidaturas al puesto de Subdirector del IAC. El puesto está abierto tanto a mujeres como a hombres. El IAC es un Consorcio Público Estatal compuesto por la Administración General del Estado, la ComunidadAutónoma de Canarias, la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) y el Consejo Superior de InvestigacionesCientíficas (CSIC). Los fines del Consorcio son: Realizar y promover cualquier tipo de investigación astrofísica o relacionada con ella, así como desarrollar y transferir su tecnología. Difundir los conocimientos

After more than two years without total lunar eclipses visible from Europe, next July 27 the Moon will cross the shadow of the Earth. With a totality of 102m, it will be the longuest lunar eclipse of the XXIth century. The phenomon will be broadcasted in live from Namibia, through sky-live.tv with the cooperation of the European Project STARS4ALL and the Observatory of high energies HESS, and from the Museum of Science and the Cosmos in Tenerife, through the Facebook channel of the Museums of Tenerife. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates in these two activities.

An international team of astronomers, led by an ex‐student of the University of La Laguna (ULL), José R. Bermejo‐Climent, and a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), G. Battaglia, finds that some of the small galaxies that orbit around the Milky Way could modify the inner structure of their dark matter haloes already in the first phases of their life due to the energy produced by supernovae explosions.

A study published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy and which questions current models of structure formation in the universo is base don data obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias and among its authors is a team of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

A world-wide observing campaign with many instruments, in which the MAGIC telescopes at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, participated, allowed astronomers to locate, for the first time, the source of a cosmic neutrino coming from outside the Milky Way. The results, published in the journal Science, are being presented today at a press conference at the Headquarters of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States.
