La Fundación CajaCanarias organiza la octava edición de su Foro Enciende el Cosmos, que este año volverá a contar con la participación de destacados científicos e investigadores de reconocido nivel nacional e internacional. Esta iniciativa de carácter divulgativo pretende expandir, desde la exploración científica, la comprensión del Universo en su conjunto, relacionando el pasado con el presente y con una clara búsqueda de respuestas de cara al futuro. El programa se divide en tres sesiones, a celebrar los días 13 de febrero, 20 de marzo y 10 de abril, en el Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias de

The IAC's Educational Project with Robotic Telescopes (PETeR) offers a new edition of its online teacher training entitled ‘ Investigate the Universe with Robotic Telescopes’. This activity, organised in collaboration with the STEAM area of the regional Ministry of Education of the Canary Islands Government, aims to provide knowledge and tools to incorporate astronomy in the classroom through the use of professional robotic telescopes, the analysis of scientific data and active learning methodologies. PETeR is an educational project that gives schools free access to professional telescopes

At the present time ground-based observatories have a wide range of instruments which can study the solar surface in the visible and infrared ranges. But it is not possible to combine these observations with those in the near ultraviolet, which cover the wavelength range from 200 to 400 nanometres, nor to maintain them for long periods due to the turbulence in the Earth’s atmosphere. In this context, the Sunrise III mission, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is collaborating, “ has become the first observatory to obtain spectropolarimetric data simultaneously in the
