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.

    Researchers from the IAC have discovered that dark matter experiences forces beyond gravity
    The existence of dark matter is likely one of the most perplexing problems facing the scientific community, and unraveling its nature has become one of the primary goals of modern physics. In simple terms, we do not know what dark matter is made of, despite accounting for 85% of all the matter in the Universe. A study led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias concludes that dark matter does not behave as described by the dominant paradigm, which states that dark matter particles only interact with each other and with ordinary matter through gravity. The IAC study reveals that dark

    The IAC finds surprises in Spiderweb protocluster field
    A team of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), collaborating with other international institutions, has managed to find new galaxies in the Spiderweb protocluster. This was possible thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, which is a project of the space agencies of the United States (NASA), Europe (ESA) and Canada (CSA). Exploring the populations of galaxies, and discovering their physical properties in large scale structures helps astronomers to understand galaxy formation and how their assembly is determined by their environment. The “ Spiderweb” protocluster
