During June 14th and 15th, those who attended got to know the facilities of this important astronomical observatory in the mountains of Tenerife, where they could learn "what is an exoplanet?” and “ what is a sunquake?".

(In Spanish only) El pasado 13 de junio, tres estudiantes de segundo de bachillerato, pertenecientes al programa Canarias Masterclass, visitaron la sede central del IAC en La Laguna para compartir una jornada laboral junto con profesionales de las diferentes áreas del Instituto. Las tres alumnas tienen intereses relacionados con la Física o la Astrofísica, y pudieron vivir durante un día cómo se trabaja en un centro de investigación puntero y conocer sus instalaciones.

These two research centres agree to start negotiations for the installation of Cherenkov telescopes at the Teide Observatory.

Organized by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) they will take place on June 14 and 15th.

The Japanese physicist Takaaki Kajita is one of the leading world experts in neutrino physics. These particles have a very tiny mass, and they hardly interact with other kinds of matter. This elusive quality meant that for many years after their prediction their existence was in doubt, even though they are the most abundant elementary particles in the universe. However since the 1950’s not only have they been detected, but it has been shown that there are several types of neutrinos, and that studying them could be the key to solving important puzzles about the origin of matter in the
