The GLORIA Project, in which the IAC is a participant, will webcast the astronomical event live from the Inca Saksaywaman site in Cuzco (Peru). Another GLORIA team will observe the event from the peak of Mount Teide (Tenerife), showing how the shadow of the volcano aligns with the eclipsed Moon.

A new stellar model atmosphere, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters, puts an end to the apparent disagreement between theory and observation for this exotic radioactive element

There will be a total eclipse on 15 April. It will be the first of a series of four total lunar eclipses in series with an interval of about eighteen months. The GLORIA project will travel to Peru to webcast the event live.
