El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) comienza mañana, día 14 de noviembre, su programa de actividades con motivo de la Semana Europea de la Ciencia y la Tecnología 2006 en el IES de San Matías, en Tenerife.

Con la finalidad de fomentar el interés por la Ciencia y la Tecnología a los alumnos de Educación Secundaria, el IAC y el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos acercarán sus talleres científicos en la “Cosmoneta” de este museo al IES de San Matías, a partir de las 10:00horas. Esta actividad estará dirigida a los alumnos de 3º y 4º de la ESO.

Más tarde, a partir de las 21:00 horas, el IAC instalará, en el mismo centro educativo, un planetario donde un monitor guiará a los alumnos durante las observaciones astronómicas que realicen. Estas observaciones se completarán con una charla divulgativa a cargo del astrofísico Ángel R. López.

Los actos de la Semana Europea de la Ciencia y la Tecnología 2006 organizada por el IAC en Tenerife y en La Palma, coordinada por la Oficina de la Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación del Gobierno de Canarias y financiada por el Plan Nacional de Fomento de la Cultura Científica y Tecnológica del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, continuarán hasta el día 22 de noviembre.

    Researchers show that the shape of the Whirlpool galaxy has been molded by the repeated passage through its disc of a satellite galaxy
    An international research team, with participation by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) shows that the satellite galaxy NGC 5195 has passed twice through the disc of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), in relatively recent times, stimulating star formation, and defining the structure of its arms. The research is published in the prestigious The Astrophysical Journal. The Whirlpool Galaxy M51, is a ”grand design” spiral galaxy: its spiral form is dominated by two well defined arms. Discovered by Charled Messier in 1771 M51 lies some 31 million light years from Earth, As it is face-on

    The mystery of the fullerenes in space explained
    A pioneering study from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) which combines laboratory chemistry with astrophysics, has shown for the first time that grains of dust formed by carbon and hydrogen in a highly disordered state, known as HAC, can take part in the formation of fullerenes, carbon molecules which are of key importance for the development of life in the universe, and with potential applications in nanotechnology. The results are published as a Letter to the Editor in the prestigious journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. Fullerenes are carbon molecules which are very big
