The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is actively participating in the observation of object 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS), initially included as A11pl3Z in the confirmed list of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) of the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Centre (IAU/MPC). The object, which has been shown to be the third interstellar object detected in our solar system, was discovered by one of the telescopes in the ATLAS network for the detection and early warning of asteroids on an Earth-impact trajectory. The IAC is part of this network with its new telescope structure, ATLAS

El Observatorio del Teide, del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), recibió este domingo la visitas de las recién nombradas doctoras Honoris Causa de la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), quienes pudieron conocer de primera mano cómo se trabaja en uno de los observatorios astrofísicos más importantes del mundo. La escritora Ken Bugul, la teórica de la comunicación Amparo Moreno Sardà y la historiadora de la ciencia Londa Schiebinger estuvieron acompañadas por altos cargos de la comunidad universitaria y fueron recibidas por el administrador del Observatorio del Teide, David López Nespral

An international team of researchers, including staff from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has discovered a planetary nebula that destroyed its own planetary system, conserving the remaining fragments in the form of dust orbiting its central star. To date, more than 5000 exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars of all kinds and almost every stage of stellar evolution. However, while exoplanets have been discovered around white dwarfs – the final stage in the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars like the Sun, no exoplanets have been detected in the previous
