STARMUS Festival

The Starmus Formula 🧪 Starmus = Lectures + Live Performances + Public Exhibitions. For seven editions, Starmus has transformed whole cities into epicenters of science and art. Our unique formula combines amazing lectures, breathtaking musical performances, and public exhibitions that bring cities alive with the beat of science and art. From thought-provoking talks by leading scientists to mesmerizing concerts by world-renowned musicians, and open-air events bringing the heartbeat of science to the streets, Starmus creates an unparalleled experience that celebrates the wonders of the universe.

We are thrilled to confirm our collaboration with CEC Isla Bonita,the largest educational and cultural congress on the island of La Palma, which brings together educators from all over the archipelago and international leaders in the field of education.🧑🏫 We will be presenting STARMUS to the attendees and we will share some projects of our next edition, STARMUS La Palma,aimed at students! #CECIslaBonita #Starmus #InspiringTheNextGenerationOfExplorers

🔭 Do you know this incredible woman? Meet Jocelyn Bell, the scientist who discovered pulsars in 1967, a groundbreaking find that revealed neutron stars and validated general relativity. Despite being overlooked by the Nobel Prize in 1974—when her supervisors received the award instead—her legacy continues to inspire. With numerous accolades to her name, Bell used her $3 million Breakthrough Prize to support women and minorities in physics, ensuring a brighter future for science and equality. #JocelynBell #WomenInSTEM #Pulsars #DiversityInScience

Imagine a future where capitalism doesn't contribute to climate change, but rather helps to solve it. Nat Keohane's closing remarks draw a future where our planet thrives, powered by clean energy and innovative solutions. A world where carbon is stored, not emitted; where forests are valued more alive than dead. Join the economist and director of the Center for Climate Change and Energy Solutions as he describes such a future for the crowd at Starmus VII. #climatechange #energy #capitalismforclimate #capitalism

Can’t wait to share the incredible project we have in hand!! 🎥✨ Here is a little sneak peek of yesterday’s epic filming at the breathtaking Gran Telescopio de Canarias, S.A. (GRANTECAN). Pure magic in the making! 🌌🚀 #STARS #MUSIC #STARMUS #LAPALMA 📷 Javier Santaolalla Camino

🌟We’ve had the privilege of speaking this morning at the '6th Belt and Road International Science Popularization Seminar' organized by the Beijing International Science & Technology Service Center Co.,Ltd and the Hubei Academy of Scientific and Technical Information. It was an honor to share the panel with amazing professionals from various fields, all united by the common goal of science popularization. 🌍✨ Thank you so much for counting on Starmus for such a great edition! 🙏 #BRISPS2024 #STARMUS #SciencePopularization

WOOW! What a Week for Space Exploration! 🚀🌌   We space enthusiasts are over the moon with excitement, celebrating the incredible milestones in space exploration this week. Let’s take a moment to celebrate these achievements! 🌟✨ 1 - SpaceX marks a new era in rocket reusability! 🚀🤖 One small step for Mechazilla, one giant leap in space exploration with the incredible mid-air catch of the Super Heavy booster!   📸 SpaceX 2 - Life on Jupiter’s moon?? Europa Clipper is on its way to find out! 🚀🌌 🚀 NASA’s Europa Clipper mission was launched this week and is on its (long) way to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa, to uncover its icy secrets and potential for life. Europa may have an ocean with twice as much water as Earth’s oceans! 🌊🌌 The mission is expected to reach Europa by 2030.   📸NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration 3 - Space cartography moves forward: ESA’s Euclid mission unveils the first piece of the Universe’s map, capturing millions of stars and galaxies in stunning detail. 🌌✨ 📸 European Space Agency - ESA /Euclid/Euclid Consortium/@NASA, @cea_officiel-Saclay, image processing by J.-C.

Anselmi; @creativecommons CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO 4 - Dressing up for the Moon (finally) again! 🚀👩 Axiom Space and Prada unveil the AxEMU spacesuit, marking a milestone in commercial space exploration. 🚀👩🚀 The Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit has been produced for NASA’s Artemis III lunar mission, which will be the first crewed mission to the Moon since Apollo 17 with our dear friend Charlie Duke! 🌕🚀 📸 Prada / Axiom Space  #spaceexploration #Mechazilla #europeclipper #euclidmission #AxEMU 

From melting ice sheets to personal stories of impact, it's time to connect the dots. Beware of the "head to heart gap". Global warming affects people in meaningful ways, but we need to improve the way we deliver this message. Join climate scientist @katharinehayhoe at Starmus VII as she bridges the head to heart gap on climate change. #climatechange #globalwarming

Heads Up, Date Change! STARMUS La Palma will take place from April 25 to April 29! Starting in November we'll be announcing exciting details like the festival's line-up and the pre-registration process through our website. We can't wait to share everything about this very special edition with you! Stay tuned!!

"Global warming" can be a misleading term. What if we call it "global weirding instead? Katharine Hayhoe, a renowned climate scientist and communicator, has dedicated her career to understanding how our world’s weather patterns are becoming increasingly unpredictable and extreme. Through her groundbreaking research and engaging talks, she sheds light on the changes we’re witnessing—from longer, more severe heatwaves to intensifying hurricanes and shifting rainfall patterns. These phenomena should be described as global weirding, rather than global warming, since weather patterns are just becoming more unpredictable. #WeatherPatterns #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #StarmusVII #globalweirding
