First showing of the high definition audio-visual film "Exploring the Solar System" in the CETA-CIEMAT Planetarium

Advertised on

The audiovisual presentation, designed to be projected in domes and planetaria has been designed by CETA-CIEMAT, IAC, and Eurocosmos, as part of a scientific popularization programme financed by the FECYT

"Exploring the Solar System" makes available to the general public material which has previously been seen only through telescopes or via space probes; it will be distributed free of charge to any planetarium or projection theatre which asks for it.

"Exploring the Solar System" will be shown in the majority of the planetaria in Spain, both fixed and mobile, so that it will be seen by an estimated thirty thousand students in the coming months

In the CETA-CIEMAT planetarium situated in the ex-convent of San Francisco de Trujillo, headquarters of the Centre for Advanced Techology of Extremadura (CETA-CIEMAT) the first showing of the audiovisual presentation "Exploring the Solar System" will take place today. During the day there will be a succession of showings for schools and for the general public, and there will be a press conference for the media in which those who have contributed to the project will explain its details, and give out any additional information requested. This meeting, at which the local political authorities will be represented, will be chaired by Alberto Casero, the Mayor of Trujillo.

    Astronomers discover Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting ultra-cool star
    An international scientific team, with the participation of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has found a new world similar in size to our planet orbiting an ultra-cold red dwarf located about 55 light-years away. Observations from the SPECULOOS telescope network, which includes the ARTEMIS telescope at the Teide Observatory in Tenerife, have made this discovery possible. The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, has also played a key role in confirming the discovery, providing some of the most accurate ground
