"EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE with the IAC" arrived at Teatro Leal 

26/02/2015
A scientific outreach event entitled "Exploring the Universe" took place yesterday at Teatro Leal of La Laguna, with the aim of bringing the science and instrumentation developed at the IAC to young canaries (in a morning session) and to the general public (evening). The event consisted of a series of brief interventions by IAC researchers, including Rafael Rebolo (Director of the IAC), Jose A. Rubiño (formerly Advanced SO Fellow), and Nayra Rodríguez Eugenio (science communicator of the SO program) among others, who presented the main research areas of the IAC, its contributions in the different fields of Astrophysics and the present and future instrumentation in the Canarian Observatories. This was the first public act performed to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the official opening of the Canarian Observatories and IAC headquarters in La Laguna.
