Advertised on

El eclipse total de Luna, que tuvo lugar la madrugada de hoy, 28 de septiembre, entre las 3:11 y las 4:23 hora local en Canarias (una hora más en la Península Ibérica), fue observado por varios grupos del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) desde diferentes localizaciones de las Islas.

Un equipo de astrónomos del proyecto europeo GLORIA, liderado por el investigador del IAC Miquel Serra-Ricart, retransmitió en directo, a través de la web (sky-live.tv) y en colaboración con TVE, el espectáculo astronómico desde tres islas del Archipiélago Canario: Tenerife, Fuerteventura y La Palma.

El astrofísico y divulgador del IAC Alfred Rosenberg y el astrofotógrafo Daniel López, realizaron el seguimiento del eclipse desde el Observatorio del Teide, en Tenerife.

Se puede apreciar como, a medida que la Luna es eclipsada, aparecen estrellas que antes no eran visibles por el brillo de la luna llena. La secuencias tuvieron que ser interrumpidas poco después del comienzo de la fase de totalidad por el aumento de la humedad.

    Astronomers observe the effect of dark matter on the evolution of the galaxies
    A study led by researcher Laura Scholz, of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has found, for the first time, observational evidence that the evolution and the properties of the galaxies are conditioned not only by the mass of the stars they contain, but aso by the effect of the dark matter halos which surround them. The results are published in the specialist journal Nature Astronomy. Dark matter comprises around 85% of all the matter in the Universe. Although ordinary matter absorbs, reflects and emits light, dark matter cannot be seen directly, which makes its detection

    Several Neptune-like planets discovered in a theoretically barren region
    The distribution of planets in the over five thousand distant solar systems discovered to date forms a complex puzzle. There is a region in the planetary orbit graph, known as the " Neptunian desert", where very few Neptune-like planets with orbits of between two and four days period around their star have been recorded to date. Now, a scientific team led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (IAA-CSIC) , using a novel technique, new planets around red dwarf stars located precisely in
