Observando en fin de año
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
El tiempo de observación con los telescopios profesionales está muy solicitado. Sólo se concede tiempo a una fracción de los programas. Por eso no debe extrañar que los telescopios no paren en las fiestas.

En las fotos que mostramos se puede ver a Jaime Izquierdo (el doctorando) y a Jesús Gallego y el autor de esta entrada observando con el telescopio Isaac Newton en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (isla de La Palma) en las noches del 30 y 31 de diciembre.

El tiempo fué excelente al contrario de lo que cuenta David en Cara y cruz de la astronomía. La foto del atardecer del 31 permite apreciar la calidad del cielo con el mar de nubes abajo. Incluso se aprecia la sombra de la isla en el horizonte.

Para mí no es la primera vez que paso la nochevieja observando como puede verse en Observando en Las Campanas.

Bueno, mejor el fin de año que la noche de Navidad, que a mí me toco en el WHT el año pasado y no veas el mosqueo de la familia, sobre todo de mi madre. Y eso fue sólo 2 semanas y pico después de leer la tesis. ¡Feliz Año desde Sydney! (Ahora con los estudiantes de "verano" del ATNF desde el observatorio ATCA).
Great post shared.

Comfortable reading experience throughout, no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting, and a look at https://thisispuretesting.com kept that smooth feel going, the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at progresswithpurposefulmotion maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at ideasflowforward confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at blog33movement kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at appgrove continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at shularrfashion extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at tracetrifle sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at appglen extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at devoasis maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at blog33people produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at torquetiara extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at riveroot reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at devprime continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at softcreek carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at riserun continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.
Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at mirrorberg kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at soberviola extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at kiwaniscebu confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at asheta added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at zonalzen extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at sergevermin extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at a-nz41 maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at lucianfrostflame extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at joshuasullivan extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at appyield carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at uptonvelour added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.
A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at softprairie continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at pontona confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.
A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at altyazilipornolar confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at a-nz50 reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at tomatotiara added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.
Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at falunmirror added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.
A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at plasmaredshift produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at christineclark produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at vaporsalt extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at soucia carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at tinews continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at holychords extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at jamesduncan sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at poetpopulist added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.
Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through robertbriggs I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at gladiatorsforum added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at corypeterson continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
