Teide Observatory. Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. Tenerife 1st April 2025.
An astronomical centre of excellence in the Northern Hemisphere
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), recognized by the Spanish government as a “Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence”, is a nationally funded research centre that runs two of the best international observatories in the world.
I visited with Jerry Zhang, who is completing his Phd on the topic of Brown Dwarfs. Podcast coming soon.
