Fascinated by space 🌌 We are a @csic.es institute affiliated with @ieec.cat. Unit of Excellence "María de Maeztu".
¡Todo a punto para el eclipse solar! ☀️ Colaboramos con @rtvenoticias.rtve.es para retransmitir el eclipse solar de forma inclusiva para las personas ciegas y con discapacidad visual a través del proyecto #EclipseInclusivo, financiado por la FECYT. 🔗 ice.csic.es/news/news-pr...
🔭💫 The ALMA radiotelescope obtained the first high-resolution images of a magnetic field surrounding a forming star about 960 light-years from Earth. This evidence solves a 30-year-old mystery about how stars form. ➡️ shorturl.at/uHzKi
¿Cómo ponerse las gafas de eclipse?👓☀️ 📢 Observemos el eclipse de manera segura, con gafas de eclipse homologadas. Ponte las gafas siempre antes de mirar hacia el Sol y asegúrate de haber quitado la vista del Sol antes de quitártelas. @csicdivulga.bsky.social @csiccat.bsky.social
El 12 d'agost, establirem un espai de sonificació a l'esdeveniment d'observació de l'eclipsi total de Sol en col·laboració amb l'Ajuntament de Reus i l'associació AstroDiversitat en el marc del projecte Eclipsi Inclusiu, finançat per la FECYT. Més informació 👉 ice.csic.es?view=article...
Com podem observar l'eclipsi total de Sol amb seguretat? ☀️ Ho explica l'Adriana Pla, que ha fet pràctiques a l'oficina de comunicació i divulgació del centre. Tot a punt per al 12 d'agost! 🙌 #ViuLEclipsiAmbTotsElsSentits #ViveElEclipseConTodosLosSentidos @csiccat.bsky.social
👂Així és com se sent un eclipsi solar! 🎶Hem construït cent dispositius Lightsound per garantir que les persones amb discapacitat visual puguin experimentar l'eclipsi total de Sol del 12 d'agost. @csiccat.bsky.social #ViuLEclipsiAmbTotsElsSentits #ViveElEclipseConTodosLosSentidos
Publicamos el mapa de eventos de sonificación de eclipse de sol de nuestro proyecto Eclipse Inclusivo para que personas con discapacidad visual lo experimenten a través del sonido en estos lugares www.ice.csic.es?view=article... #FECYT @csic.es @csicdivulga.bsky.social
Esta semana, del 13 al 17 de julio, se ha celebrado la XVII Reunión Científica de la Sociedad Española de Astronomía en Tarragona, que ha sido coorganizada por el ICE-CSIC, junto con otras instituciones y universidades. 📷 Algunos miembros del centro que han participado dando conferencias.
After two weeks full of science, the 9th #ICECSICSummerSchool has come to an end 🌌 More than 40 students in the early stages of their scientific career have been able to delve into Multimessenger Astrophysics. Thank you all for coming! 🙌🙌 ➡️ shorturl.at/B3XZx
🎓 Today, on 1 July 2026 Celsa Pardo Araujo has defended her PhD thesis: "Exploring neutron-star astrophysics with machine learning", with Nanda Rea and Vanessa Graber as her supervisors. Congratulations! We wish you all the best in the future🥳🙌
🗞️ 🔭 The @vrubinobs.bsky.social Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) project has officially begun! Over the next decade, it will repeatedly map the southern sky to create the most complete and detailed record of the universe ever made. ➡️ tinyurl.com/5yyyz8t5
From 2 to 5 June, the institute held a conference, specifically aimed at early career researchers, around the science working group in Compact Objects of #NewAthena 🔭 Led by the European Space Agency (ESA), it is expected to be launched around 2036 🌌 🔗 shorturl.at/UxfJs
🗞️ A study reveals the strongest evidence to date of a magnetic field on an exoplanet. The team has been able to estimate the intensity of the magnetic field of GJ 436 b: a new avenue for studying the habitability of planets outside our solar system. ➡️ shorturl.at/hGMaD
The ICE-CSIC #AnnualReport 2025 is out! 🥳 Last year, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the institute! 📰 527 publications 👥168 members 🗣️ 3 new permanent staff members 🔍 41 new projects 🚀A key year for #HydroGNSS #Euclid #LISA #CTAO ➡️ shorturl.at/KXk4K
🗞️ The star Gliese 710 will enter the solar system in 1.34 million years and it will approach within 2.4 light months. It is an ultra-close encounter that only happens once every 50 million years. ➡️ shorturl.at/FVuFj
📣 Anunciem els equips guanyadors del concurs escolar Cap a l'Eclipsi! Moltes gràcies a tots els centres educatius que han treballat per resoldre reptes científics relacionats amb el Sol i els eclipsis 👏 #CapALEclipsi #ViuLEclipsiAmbTotsElsSentits ➡️ shorturl.at/IRTj8
🗞️ The ARRAKIHS mission, the first ESA mission led by Spain to study the hidden history of galaxies The mission, coordinated by IFCA-CSIC-UC, with participation of ICE-CSIC and IEEC, begins its development to reach space in 2030. ➡️ shorturl.at/kuSxF
Food, music, traditions, and more! 🍲🍰🎶 To commemorate the #WorldDayforculturalDiversity, our Equity Committee organised on May 20th the 2nd edition of the #ICECSICCulturalPotluck: a shared meal with everyone at the institute to celebrate our different backgrounds.
On 20 April Daniel Serrano defended his PhD thesis “Characterisation of magnetic induced effects on-board LISA Pathfinder and on-ground validation of LISA magnetic diagnostics” at the institute, supervised by Miquel Nofrarias. All the best!! 🥳🥳
On 17 April, Carlos Gascón defended his PhD thesis “From Hubble and JWST to LIFE: Observing Exoplanet Atmospheres Across Wavelengths and Generations” at the institute. His supervisors are Mercedes López Morales, Ignasi Ribas, Guillem Anglada-Escudé. Congratulations!! 🥳🥳
