Estos días de apagón eléctrico y digital muchas personas han levantado la vista y se han percatado de la belleza del cielo; también de las sugerentes incógnitas que despierta la bóveda celeste. En medio de este caos terrenal que se adueñaba de la península se han sorprendido de lo olvidado que tenemos al firmamento.Pero no era así en todo el país. Concretamente en la isla de La Palma, aparte de no irse la luz, tenía lugar un encuentro en el que se debatía sobre la vida en otros planetas, sobre los océanos y también sobre el exceso de luz que provoca una cada vez más preocupante contaminación lumínica.Se trataba del Starmus Festival, que no solo congregó a estrellas de la ciencia sino de la música, y del que acaba de llegar nuestra colaboradora Rosa Tristán. Hoy nos cuenta qué inquieta a los que más saben de las estrellas y los planetas.También nos acompaña Xavier Barcons, director general del Observatorio Astronómico Austral ( ESO), que reclama más protección para los lugares de observación astronómica.

Del 25 al 28 de Abril se va a celebrar en la isla de La Palma una edición especial del Starmus Festival en el que confluye la divulgación y el debate cientifico con la formación, el entretenimiento y el espectáculo.El evento forma parte de los proyectos puestos en marcha por las distintas administraciones para apoyar la recuperación de la isla tras la erupción volcánica de finales de 2021.Escuchar audio
We talked with Kip Thorne at the Starmus Festival about his research, creative work, and the behind-the-scenes of the movie Interstellar. How did his scientific insights shape the film? What challenges did he face in making complex scientific concepts accessible to the audience? We also delved into his Nobel Prize-awarded research on gravitational waves. Samuel asked these questions and more in this fascinating conversation. Máme vonku novú knihu, Rozhovory o vesmíre!

La ciudad de Bratislava acoge desde el pasado lunes el mayor festival de las estrellas del mundo. De las estrellas del firmamento, puesto que a observarlas y estudiarlas se dedica la mayor parte de los congregados en el mismo. Astrofísicos que pasan revista a la actualidad científica en torno a nuestro planeta. Se trata del Starmus Festival, que cumple ya siete ediciones y ha puesto encima de la mesa desde la inteligencia artificial a los últimos satélites puestos en órbita para poner la lupa, no en el espacio, sino en las fuentes contaminantes terrestres. Allí, atenta a todo lo que sucede, nuestra colaboradora Rosa Tristán, que nos ofrece una crónica de lo más notable de este evento. Con ella, Rafael Guzmán, profesor de Investigación del CSIC, trabajando en proyectos de la Agencia Espacial Europea y la Universidad de Florida.Escuchar audio

After graduating from Yerevan State University with a PhD in physics, Dr. Garik Israelian went on to lead the international collaboration that provided the first observational evidence that supernova explosions are responsible for the formation of Black Holes. Israelian works at the Institute of Astrophysics in the Canary Islands and is a professor at the University of La Laguna. He is also the founding director of Starmus Festival, a global festival of science communication and art.

In this episode from 2017, Brian Cox and Robin Ince transport the cage to the Starmus Festival in Trondheim, Norway, for an extraordinary gathering of astronauts. They are joined on stage by NASA astronauts Sandra Magnus and Terry Virts, ESA astronaut Claude Nicollier, and Apollo 16's Charlie Duke, one of the last people to have walked on the moon. They talk about their personal journeys to fulfill their long-held dreams, and literally reach for the stars. They hear from Charlie Duke about the extraordinary Apollo missions he was part of, including his role as Capsule Communicator for the very first moon landing, before taking his own first steps on the lunar surface as part of Apollo 16. They explore the different experience of astronauts from Charlie's era, and those who now become residents of space, spending months and months aboard the International Space Station, and the challenges each mission brings. And Claude Nicollier describes his epic spacewalk to repair the Hubble Telescope. Producer: Alexandra Feachem.
Woodstock. Lallapalooza. Lilith Fair. Coachella. Burning Man. All famous music and art festivals. What about...science festivals? Perhaps a festival with all the “rock stars” of science and space exploration, and while you're at it, throw in a few music rock stars as well? Well, that describes the Starmus Festival. Starmus is the brain child of Dr. Garik Israelian, an astrophysicist who led the team that found the first observational evidence that supernova explosions are responsible for the formation of stellar mass black holes. We talk with Dr. Israelian about the past, present, and future of Starmus.

The star of this week's show is Science, with a capital S, or more specifically, Physics and Astronomy. Back in 2002 Pablo Jáuregui was faced with the audacious challenge of heading a new daily science section in the newspaper El Mundo. In this interview, he shares why the section was set up and how his own career has grown with it, leading him to his recent interview with Stephen Hawking. Of course, he tells us about this amazing, once in a lifetime experience, of interviewing one of his heroes. Pablo also tells us about the relatively new Starmus Festival, which took part back in September in Tenerife. And finally, we talk about how science is viewed in the country and how its popularity and lack of funding could influence the country's future.
Garik Israelian nos presenta el primer festival que une la astronomía con el arte y la música.
