The IAC gave a welcome today, at the installations of its Headquarters in La Laguna, and at the Teide Observatory (Izaña, Tenerife) to the 1997 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Claude Cohen-Taddoudji. His visit took place because of the participation of this eminent scientist in the XI Conference of Physics students, celebrate in the University of La Laguna during15th and 16th March.

As he toured the IAC premises Rafael Rebolo, the Director, gave him information about the various fields of researcj at the Institute, about the astrophysical instruments which are being produced here, and about the science carried out with the telescopes at the observatories in Tenerife and La Palma. Subsequently he signed the book of honour of the IAC.

    "Galaxy Zoo: Euclid" seeks help in classifying galaxies
    A new citizen science project launched today by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium, in collaboration with the Zooniverse platform, will enable volunteers from around the world to identify the shapes of millions of galaxies in images taken by ESA's Euclid space telescope. The aim of the initiative is to train deep AI neural networks to build the largest morphology catalogue to date. In November 2023 and May 2024, the world got its first glimpse at the quality of Euclid’s images, targeting a variety of sources, from nearby nebulas to distant clusters of galaxies. And

    LST-1 telescope on La Palma detects the most distant quasar at very high energies
    The first Large-Sized Telescope (LST) prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Garafía, La Palma), has made its first scientific discovery by detecting the source OP 313 above 100 gigaelectronvolts (GeV), a level of energy a billion times higher than the visible light that humans can perceive. It is the most distant quasar ever observed by gamma-ray instruments from the ground. On 15 December, the Large-Sized Telescope (LST) Collaboration announced through an Astronomer’s Telegram (ATel) the detection of the source OP
