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.


Jaime Izquierdo atendiendo las explicaciones de la astrónoma de apoyo Tiina Liimets . 

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.


Jesús y Jaime Z. al atardecer del 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.

  1. The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at webwoods kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.

  2. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at ordersimple suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.

  3. Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at echodomain extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.

  4. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at a-nz47 produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

  5. Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at domaweb continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.

  6. Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at webvineyard added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.

  7. Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at xylowise extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

  8. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at resellinga confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  9. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at validpath kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  10. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at fastfield extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  11. Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at vegaterbaik only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

  12. Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at wandabruce continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  13. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at forwardmotionstarts 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.

  14. Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at directionguidesaction continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

  15. Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at focuscreatesmomentum continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.

  16. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at directionfeedsprogress kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  17. Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at forwardmomentumforms 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.

  18. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at directionenergizesprogress extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  19. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at dylanbeltran drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  20. Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at progressmoveswithclarity suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  21. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at claritydrivesspeed extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  22. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at ideasdriveforward 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.

  23. However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at directiondrivesmotion continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

  24. Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at ideasgainstructure extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.

  25. Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at claritydrivesprogress confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

  26. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at claritysetsprogress extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  27. Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at blog33southern added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  28. Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at growthmovesbychoice extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

  29. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at growthunfoldsforward kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  30. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at momentumfollowsfocus reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

  31. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at blog33before produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  32. Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at ashleywoods 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.

  33. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at directioncreatesmovement extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.

  34. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at focussetsdirection extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  35. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at growthalignsforward reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  36. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at forwardmotionclarity cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  37. Refreshing to find writing that does not try to manipulate the reader into clicking onto the next page through cliffhangers and forced engagement, and a stop at forwardgrowthengine continued in the same respectful way, this is what reader first design actually looks like in practice rather than just in marketing copy that sounds nice.

  38. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at ideasgainvelocity maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  39. Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at actiondrivenmovement continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.
