    The IAC continues to track asteroid 2024 YR4 to refine the probability of impact in 2032
    The Solar System research group at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is participating in the international programme to keep a closet track of asteroid 2024 YR4. The aim is to determine its orbit with the highest possible precision before it stops being observable by ground based and satellite telescopes in April, and so improving our value of the probability that it will impact the Earth in 2032. In this context several telescopes of the Canary Observatories of the IAC are playing an outstanding role in this observing campaign: The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) at the Roque de

    The IAC hosts the second Solar MHD conference, an international meeting of experts in solar physics
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is hosting the second Solar MHD ( UKUS 7) conference this week. Following the successful first edition held in Eastbourne (UK) in 2022, this event brings together nearly fifty international experts to discuss the latest advancements in solar magnetohydrodynamics. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of electrically conducting fluids, such as solar plasma. Understanding MHD processes in the Sun is essential for predicting phenomena like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can significantly impact
