16/05/2014
On the occasion of the International Museum Day 2014, the IAC has collaborated with the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, of Museos de Tenerife, in a solar observation live activity. In addition to using a special telescope and filter to observe the structures in the outer layers of the Sun, attendees learn how to build their own solar telescope at no cost, measure the distance that separates us from our star, and participate in the reproduction of the Solar System to scale. All this accompanied by explanations of IAC solar physicists and an exhibition panel specifically designed for this activity. >> More information (in Spanish)
