Tenerife has boosted its position as one of the best locations on the planet for stargazing, with the introduction of eight new telescopes at the island’s Teide Observatory. Introduced in June, the telescopes will appeal to amateur “astro-tourists,” trained scientists, and anyone keen to admire the marvels of the universe.
The arrival of the new, advanced solar telescopes marks the 30th anniversary of the foundation of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC).
