The IAC in the Science Weeks 2014

01/12/2014
Last November, IAC researchers, science communicators and collaborators participated in the "Miniferias" of Science and Innovation, held in Gran Canaria and Tenerife, with activities that seek to bring Astronomy to the Canarian society and especially to young people. Various workshops, such as "Live observation of the solar spectrum", "Observing the Sun with an H-alpha telescope" or "The Electromagnetic Spectrum and telescopes", were performed. There were also informative talks, including "Cosmology for everyone", in which the SO PhD student David Aguado explained what Cosmology is, where black holes come from and what is the dark energy, among other astronomical questions.
