Imaging at optical/infrared wavelengths is a novel technique that has been developed during the last ten years
In current images obtained by OSIRIS, Rosetta’s scientific imaging system, the nucleus of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko covers good four pixels
IMaX, aboard the SUNRISE mission –a telescope that observed the sun from a stratospheric balloon over the Arctic- has observed the formation and evolution of a magnetic flux tube on the solar surface
Two planets have been discovered around Kapteyn´s, a star that was possibly part of a satellite galaxy absorbed by the Milky Way
MEGARA is the first spectrograph capable of observing the emission of the gas located in between distant galaxies
The scientific imaging system OSIRIS on board ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft witnesses the awakening of the mission’s target comet
Laws used since 1989 to correct this effect prompted errors in the characterization of stars and needed revision
The propagation of sound waves inside stars produces oscillations on their surface. The analysis of these oscillations makes it possible to know the internal structure and age of stars, and it has just turned out to be also effective in the detailed study of stars more massive than the sun
Chariklo, an object 250 kilometers in diameter has two rings around it possibly composed of water ice. The finding, involving researchers from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), was made possible by a stellar occultation
The GOSSS survey was designed to fill the gaps and overcome the heterogeneity of previous surveys which led to systematic errors in the classification of stars
