The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Museum of Science and the Cosmos (MCC) of Museums of Tenerife, have produced the astronomical calendar “100 Square Moons” for 2019 which can be consulted and downloaded in digital format.

The majority of its images, taken with the Astrógrafo STC (Sky Treasurese Chest) at the Teide Observatory (Izaña, Tenerife), are part of an eduational exhibition which is an introduction to the universo using the Moon as a unit of measure. This explains the title “100 Square Moons” and initiative of the Unit of Communication and Scientific Culture (UC3) of the IAC, coordinated by the astrophysicist Alfred Rosenberg as part of the project “NIÉPCE: from the negative to the positive2. This project pays tribute to the inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and to Photography in its 200th anniversary for his great contribution to the advance of astronomy.

This calendar is additional to the calendar in poster format illustrated with the image of the open stellar cluster the Pleyades (M45) also obtained with the STC Astrograph.

    The IAC brings astronomy closer to the young public at the Canary Islands Mini Fairs 2024
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is once again taking part in the Miniferias de la Ciencia y la Innovación en Canarias, an outreach event that aims to bring science and technology closer to students and the general public on the islands. The IAC, through its Scientific Communication and Culture Unit (UC3), will be present at the activities organised in Tenerife and La Palma. Specifically, this Thursday 9 May, students enrolled in the activity "Investigate the Universe with robotic telescopes" will have the opportunity to carry out an astronomical observation through the

    Hydrogenated amorphous carbon grains as a carrier of unidentified IR bands in planetary nebulae
    It is well known that fullerenes – big, complex, and highly resistant carbon molecules with potential applications in nanotechnology – are mostly seen in planetary nebulae (PNe); old dying stars with progenitor masses similar to our Sun. Fullerenes, like C60 and C70, have been detected in PNe whose infrared (IR) spectra are dominated by broad unidentified IR (UIR) plateau emissions. The identification of the chemical species (structure and composition) responsible for such UIR emission widely present in the Universe is a mystery in astrochemistry; although they are believed to be carbon-rich
