In this talk we are going to make philoso-science, a word that I have invented and that we actually do continuously.
The question often arises as to whether we are alone in the universe, and there are always all sorts of more or less elaborate answers.

Galactic superwinds, common phenomena in galaxies, are capable of releasing an extraordinary amount of energy and transporting material over long distances. Their influence on the host galaxy can be of great importance, to the extent that the formation of these "galactic hurricanes" can even determine the life of galaxies.

Observatorio de Calar Alto
It has been 45 years since Calar Alto Observatory was founded. An observatory that, among its merits, has been one of the main engines of the development of astronomy in Spain and, of course, one of the foundations of the creation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (Andalusian Astrophysics Institute).

Nuclear activity as is observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) might be a phase occurring in all galaxies, and this activity could be recurrent. A perfect laboratory to test these scenarios are the giant radio galaxies, since their emission can be as old as 10⁷-10⁸ years.
Today, November 8th, the Granada candidature for "City of Science" has been announced, with the participation of all scientific institutions of the city.
