Humans have always looked to space with curiosity, fascination and sometimes fear. Many of us have thought about whether or not we would dare to take a trip outside the atmosphere, and we may even think that before spending so much money on sending astronauts, there are other problems to solve here on Earth.

The history of science in Spain has never been a subject that has been valued in its fair measure, even by Spanish scientists themselves today. In this talk we will focus on the figure of Azarquiel, a representative of medieval science who, in the opinion of the speaker, is the greatest Spanish astronomer of all time.

Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 for their discovery of the massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. In my talk I will review the history of their research work from a front-line point of view (having worked closely with the two researchers on this topic).

The title of this talk evokes a common question in conservation circles, which highlights the privileged place of the Galapagos Islands as a laboratory of evolution and a jewel of biodiversity. A jewel that, like many other natural areas, faces various threats related to human activity.

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.

Following an open debate, the International Astronomical Union recently recommended that the rate of expansion of the universe, traditionally referred to as the "Hubble Constant", should henceforth be referred to as the "Hubble-Lemaître Constant". In this session we will see why the change of designation was necessary to do justice to t

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.
